general description
As with most of Williams other early releases Sinistar features fast-paced, challenging game play and eats up quarters. The player’s mission is mine crystals that make “sinibombs” while fending off workers and other enemy ships who are also attempting to mine crystals in an effort to build “Sinistar”, a nasty looking robot ship. Once complete Sinistar chases the player down while taunting him with synthesized speech, saying things such as “Beware, I Live!”, “Run Coward” or “I am Sinistar”.
The synthesized speech aspect of the game can be quite spooky for the first time player since it appears from no where. Additionally Sinistar is a very difficult enemy to destroy (only sinibombs can harm him). The game is a special 49-position optical joystick that allows for great control when playing the game.

*NOTE: Dimensional Weight (also know as "Dim Weight") is an industry
standard formula used by shipping companies. The calculation is used
to determine how much space a package will take up. Most shipping rates
are calculated based on Dim Weight or actual weight, whichever is greater.
The formula for Dim Weight is (L" x W" x D")/194. The examples shown here
show the actual dimensional weight for the game, and then given an
estimated shipping dimensional weight assuming that 5" of packing
material is needed in each dimension. Your actual results may vary.
