The English book cover for the Star Raiders graphic novel. 

Published in 1983, this is the first volume in a series of graphic novels from DC Comics. It is based off of Star Raiders for the Atari 2600. 

Featuring a heroic pilot, a wise librarian, and a rebellious resistance, they battle the insectoid Zylon empire. With stunning artwork by José Luis García López, this action-packed tale brings 1980s space opera vibes, blending elements of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica.

Brought Calcitron to work today! He's buddies with Thundertron so I guess he's a space pirate that becomes a rock car!

Thundertron was already one of my favorite figures from Transformers Prime, and I really like this update for him!

#StarRaiders update: I’m an ‘Ensign’ on Novice difficulty, but a ‘Garbage Scow Captain’ on Pilot difficulty. More practice required.

I wish my photon torpedoes stopped immediately being destroyed upon coming out of hyperspace.

My first thoughts on #StarRaiders: much of it seems to be a combination of the old #StarTrek text-based strategy game (originally released 1971 for the Sigma 7 mainframe) and Atari’s 1977 arcade game Starship 1. The former supplies its strategic elements (warping around the galactic chart, replenishing at star bases, hunting down enemy ships, etc), while the first person view and combat resembles the latter. Super cool.

Farewell 1970s, and hello 1980! I made it! And what better way to greet a new decade of gaming than with Star Raiders. I hadn’t played this beloved and influential space combat game until I purchased Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration. Now that I’ve figured out how to turn on my shield (to avoid dying instantly) and completed a Novice mission, I can see how people became addicted back in the day.

I’m currently playing the #Atari5200 version.
