Starstrike II

In the first wave it is not essential to shoot down the enemy fighters, unless you are going for a high score. The fireballs appear very quickly, so concentrate on them and take out the odd fighter that wanders into your sights.

Starstrike's trench section is much denser than perhaps you'd expect, especially on the harder difficulty levels. Focus on avoiding the many catwalks as multiple collisions will soon see your Starstrike-class fighter downed.

As with the classic Star Wars arcade game, shooting the summit of the towers in section two nets a score bonus. Considering it's a massive 50,000 points, it's well worth risking a few shields in the process.
