Starhawk: Game Guide, Developer and Facts
Starhawk — video game guide with key facts, developer and background.

Starhawk is a 1979 vector arcade game designed and programmed by Tim Skelly and manufactured by Cinematronics. Starhawk is a shoot 'em up unofficially based on the Star Wars trench run, making it one of the first arcade games to blatantly use concepts from said film. The game was unique at the time for its pseudo-3D graphics. It was distributed in Japan by Sega, and was later ported to the Vectrex home system in 1982. The arcade cabinet had a cinder block placed inside of it, to prevent it from tipping onto the player.
