Star Castle

Back to Vectrex

This remake of the 1980 classic arcade game Star Castle by Cinematronics, is a vector based video game designed for the GCE Vectrex Home Arcade system and was released in 1983.

Just like the arcade game you must fly you ship around a fixed cannon in space that is guarded by a series of force fields. You must punch holes in all of the rings of shields to destroy the cannon in the center, but if you destroy a complete ring of shields, a new ring is generated. Flying spark like drones shoot off occasionally to defend the cannon. If you manage to penetrate all of the shield layers, don't sit in one place too long, the central enemy cannon is quick and accurate.
