Sinistar © 1982 Williams.Your intergalactic crystal-mining mission takes you to the antipodes of the known universe. But your parametric DeepSpace scanner faithfully displays the sector of the galaxy you presently occupy (including an area fully three parsecs across, no less)!Keep the galaxy safe for all its sinizens! Fiendish Worker ships from the planet Sporg will attempt to fabricate a Sinistar from the remains of derelict planetoids in your very sector. You must not let them do this for two reasons:1) These planetoids contain the life-sustaining crystals that your civilization requires for its vital technologies.2) With the eminently unstable Sinistar in their possession, the Sprogites can lay waste to any civilization in your sector. You alone stand in their way.You must mine the sinisite crystals.

Even if the title screen says 1982, Sinistar was released in February 1983.Also released as:'This game was originally going to be called ', then '. The prototype version called Sinistar is a machine that was displayed at the November 1982 AMOA show in Las Vegas. The revision 2 was the most common version of the game.The game is jokingly referred to as 'Opie-Star' at Williams' offices, because Sinistar's 'Run, Coward!'

Taunt sounded like he's saying 'Ron Howard' (acclaimed actor and director best known for his roles as Opie Taylor on 'The Andy Griffith Show', and as Richie Cunningham on 'Happy Days').Sinistar's phrases:'Beware I live'I hunger'I hunger coward'Beware coward'Run coward'Run run run'I am Sinistar'A Sinistar unit appears in the 1983 movie 'WarGames'.A Sinistar unit appears in the 1983 music video, 'Almost Over You' by Sheena Easton.

Added 'Set Attract mode message' option in the game adjustments menu. The Survivors Today has the following initials (the initial are mostly those of the people who contributed programming, artwork, sound, playtesting or ideas (or a little of each)).

Programming Credits And Williams message:1) Set lives to 1 (this is optional, it merely saves time).2) Insert one credit.3) Bump into a Planetoid (rock).4) Push the fire button seven times.5) Avoid Planetoids and Workers, don't fire at anything and get shot by a Warrior. If you set lives to 1, the game will now be over.

If not, lose all lives in this manner until the game ends.6) Enter initials.7) Press the 2-Player button 3 times, then insert one coin and start a new 1-Player game.8) Don't move or fire, just push the Sinibomb button once.There are now two messages which can be displayed for the credits:9) Insert three coins, then push the Sinibomb button again. The 'crossword' credits should now be displayed. For the Williams Electronics message:10) Simply end the game by getting shot without hitting a Planetoid or firing, then push the 1-Player button to display the message. 255 Lives Trick: This little trick is harder than the game itself, but worth it if you pull it off. On your last man, make sure a warrior fires at you just as Sinistar sucks you in. As the Sinistar sucks you in, you will lose your last man, but when the warrior's bullet hits you, you will have one less than zero ships.Note: The warriors stop shooting as soon as you are 'caught' by Sinistar.

The game was programmed this way, to prevent you from dying twice. Since you are trying to die twice, you have to let a warrior shoot at you, before you get sucked in, then hope that the shot hits you after you have been sucked in. This is very tricky.Note 2: 8-bit processors can only handle values from 0-255, for a total of 256 values. Therefore, 'one less than zero ships' will roll around to 255. CONSOLES:US Atari 2600 (1984): was a prototype only.

About Genre Shooter Summary Williams' classic shooter game (built as a stand-up cabinet or as a cockpit-style arcade machine) plays somewhat like an updated version of Asteroids, as players zoom about a top-down world space world filled with enemies and debris. Blast away at enemies and collect crystals to power your bombs - the evil of this galaxy is busy building the terrifying Sinistar, and once it's constructed, only your Sinisite bombs will be able to blast it away as it hunts you down and seeks out your doom!
