Star_Raiders_II__Wilmunder____Aric_Wilmunder___Free_Download___Streaming___Internet_ArchiveAric Wilmunder, the interviewee of Antic Podcast Interview 104, is the creator of the real ‘Star Raiders II’ for the Atari 8-bit. The game was never released, until now.

The creator has posted on Internet Archive the unfinished game (ATR file), alog with a guide to controls in the game and “The Authoritative Star Raiders II”, Aric’s description of why the game was created.

Everyone should listen to the interview, where Aric tells the history of his time at Atari, working on the Star Raiders sequel. Although Atari has released a game called Star Raiders II, it was actually the game Last Starfighter that was rebranded as ‘Star Raiders II’ due to the lack of success of the movie The Last Starfighter, released in 1984.

Aric also talks about his jobs previously to Atari, and after he left the iconic company. If you want a glimpse of what used to be a game developer in the 80’s, this is a great opportunity to get it.
