Key points
- Also known as Space Interceptor in North America and Starmageddon 2 in some other countries.
- Flying into particles causes lots of lag. Try not to be immediately next to and looking at an enemy you want to blow up.
- Motion blur only works on some newer versions of the game (e.g. French, German, and Italian versions on Steam)

Steam |
- The DRM on the Steam version is sort of weird. The outer DRM on the executable is Steam DRM, and the inner DRM is an odd hand-written-assembly wrapper with a disabled disc check. In any case, the actual game EXE is not encrypted and can be extracted and run without Steam.
Essential improvements
Skip intro videos
Delete/rename video files[citation needed] |

Issues unresolved
Sound replay on hitch
- If the game hitches, the audio engine will periodically replay a small portion of sound about a second or so back. The problem disappear after a level change and until the next hitch.
Issues fixed
Game crashes due to missing codecs
- The game may crash on Windows Vista and later because it can't decode the movies properly. This issue manifests itself as sudden exiting after seeing the menu loading screen.
- This can be fixed by either using a dummy
mpeg.dll
or removing the video files.
Install dummy mpeg.dll [2]
