 | | Sinistar represented a number of firsts in game design. | | | When the Sinistar goes to eat you, the warriors stop shooting, so your only chance for this bug to occur is if one of their previous shots hits you. | | | Sinistar contains a well-known bug that grants the player many lives. |

| | Not only did it have synthesized speech that warned you of your impending demise, but it was a real edge of your seat game, as far as games go back then. | | | This new version, Sinistar Unleashed, updates the gameplay into the vast emptiness of space and you are now free to move in any direction. | | | The gameplay has remained intact, which is a miracle, considering the complete makeover the game has received. |

| | Sinistar Unleashed |
| | And I realize that you can't really compare the two games, since Sinistar Unleashed isn't meant to be a space sim, it's an arcade game, but for me, as a computer gamer used to more than a simple arcade game, that's just not enough. | | | The Sinistar will usually have a weak spot, but finding it might take a lot of Sinibombs, so you have to scramble away from the Sinistar, collect more crystals, find its weakness, and hit it where it hurts. | | | When the Sinistar is destroyed, you are magically transported to...another part of space, in another level that plays exactly the same, except harder this time. |

| | Sinistar Unleashed for PC video game review and cheats |
| | Sinistar as well as all the fighters and workers are much more monstrous and menacing looking than in the original game. | | | Sinistar Unleashed appears to be more of a sequel than a remake of the classic 1982 coin operated game, Sinistar. | | | This game is a pure action 3D shoot-em-up and it is relatively simple to get the initial feel of the game, but it is complicated enough to keep even the best players entertained for a while, which is why I give Sinistar Unleashed as score of 87. |

| | Though I'm an insane game player, I have (barely) enough sanity left to know that if a game sucks, I (sometimes) won't play it. | | | When I first heard that a prototype 2600 Sinistar cart actually was “out there,” it's a good bet that my jaw hit the ground in a “take” of Tex Avery proportions. | | | If you have the version that actually says “Sinistar” at the top of the screen, you’re playing the more complete version of the two. |

| | Sinistar: Unleashed: Sinistar: Unleashed is an incredible, fast action, space flying, asteroid blastin, alien destroying, dog-fightin' game for all 3-D action game lovers to own. | | | Sinistar: Unleashed: The demo of this game was appealing enough, but after seing the drop in price this title was a must have. | | | Dying usually occurs late in the board while trying to discover a particular Sinistar's weakness, at which point you must restart the level and play it for ten minutes until the Sinistar reappears. |

| | According to GameFX, Sinistar: Unleashed's render-on-the-fly 3D visual effects are said to tower above the current generation of games. | | | The ultimate object is to grab enough crystals to make a Sinibomb so that it can be used to destroy the Sinistar, an evil being that's also chasing you throughout the game. | | | And as with any good modern PC game, Sinistar: Unleashed will support up to eight players over local area networks (LANs) and the Internet. |

| | The game (which can be found and emulated; start your search at EMU HQ) played more or less like Asteroids: you're in a field of asteroids, you fly around blowing them up. | | | If you're looking for something that is a straight shooter but in a 3D explorable world, then this game is tailor made for you. | | | So, obviously, just because you thought Freespace was cool doesn't mean Sinistar is necessarily your bag. |

| | Everyone who was around the game in the eighties remembers him taunting you with ''Run, Coward!'' and his roars when you meet him and someone dies. | | | And perhaps it's not a good idea to play a video game too much anyhow, and the creators saw into the future...or perhaps it's another unique idea that didn't quite make it but is almost as good in action as in memory, a sort of cultish phenomenon. | | | Neither of these, or planetoids, will kill you if you run into them, which gives the game a bumper-cars feel. |

| | Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Sinistar |
| | A truly intimidating and challenging game, Sinistar's only drawback is a slightly aggravating control system; since it doesn't quite adhere to the physical rules of bodies, motion and inertia that were so interestingly utilized in such games as Asteroids, Sinistar is a bit more difficult to get a handle on. | | | But that aside, it's a real hoot of a game, and it made better use of voice synthesis than any game before it. | | | Many games such as Berzerk had utilized robotic voices to utter barely-comprehensible threats, but Sinistar's much more menacing voice - heard only when the Sinistar station is complete - would urge you to "RUN!" and, when it caught up with you and destroyed you, would utter a robust "I HUNGER!!" or a blood-curdling war cry. |
