Very nice game, but Starglider 2 is much better. Check this one and once bored switch to Starglider 2. Plus is that it works on monochrome display, like SM124, but as far as I remember Starglider 2 does it, too.

I hacked that game. There was a protection mechanism that checked whether track 42 (sic!) of the floppy was not formatted. Replaced the conditional jump with a NOP of the 68000. Long time ago.
