No.7: Rebelstar - Firebird, 1986
Released as a budget game, Rebelstar is an action tactical game that appealed to shoot-’em-up fans such as myself. With its rudimentary AI (which author Julian Gollop only actually included at the behest of publisher Firebird), the one player game was fun, but easily beatable if you knew the right tactics and took your time. Where Rebelstar excelled was its two-player version, a deadly battle across the space station that occupied many a weekend afternoon. Not bad for £1.99.
