I had a version of the Atari game that would play on my Atari 800 back in the day. It was a great game and I was really sad that it never was released at the time. Don't remember a lot of it except that you had to warp to the sun to 'recharge' and if you stayed too long recharging it'd melt your ship.

From what I do remember you went from planet to planet cleaning off the bad guys. You'd intercept them after they made it through the outer wall, and then fight above the planet as they got closer. Its been 20 years so I don't remember much about it, except I do remember beating it.

The Last starfighter indeed was released for 800/xl microcomputer but was renamed as Star Raiders 2 (with some minor changes). The copy in circulation was a leaked prototype.
