Play Starglider 2 Online

Starglider 2 came out in 1988 for MS-DOS, developed by Argonaut Software. It was one of those early polygonal 3D games that felt ambitious for its time, pushing what home computers could do with space combat and exploration. You weren't just flying around; you were dropped into a solar system with a purpose, and the tech behind it made that world feel tangible, even with the simple graphics.

You pilot a nimble starfighter, tasked with stopping an automated factory from completing a deadly space station. The game unfolds across interconnected planetary zones, where you hunt for bomb parts while evading enemy drones and turrets. There's a constant pressure from the factory's construction timer, which pushes you to balance exploration with combat efficiency. Navigating through asteroid fields and low over alien landscapes requires careful control, and the difficulty doesn't pull punches. It feels tense and rewarding when you finally thread a narrow canyon or outmaneuver a swarm of pursuers.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
