Though I love the released SRII, I have to say this one is much better. Absolute masterpiece and it's a pity & shame it didn't get (really finished and) released back in the day. Just a few more design / programming touches here and there and the final product would (possibly) surpass its predecessor.

hidden controls, which, modify the controls: shift_O - invert the flight stick shift_J - use left handed joystick shift_P - use a touch tablet

Cat got yer tongue? What we have here just showed up only a month ago. The 7 page PDF is here with it, but there's another PDF (link) from the author, would be a nice addition to this page: atariage.com/forums/topic/246591-wilmunders-star-raiders-ii-released/page-1 This game doesn't need to be on disk, it is one file named AUTORUN.SYS on a DOS 2.0S 90KB disk. The file is 21791 bytes in length but its file structure is slightly a mess. Sadly, this here game is UNFINISHED. I read that the US Library Of Congress now collects landmark computer games, and among their first 10 choices got to be Star Raiders (1979). Zork was another ... Unlike the OTHER official Star Raiders II (1985) which had the name "(The) Last Starfighter" during development, this game SR2-1984 is a greatly enhanced copy of SR1-1979. The new Galactic Chart (1984) says the Earth's Sol system contains 9 planets. Maybe it was a typo.
