Crash! Magazine (UK):
    Sent To Conquer - Machine Versus Man

    Air to air and air to ground combat flight simulation.

    Defeat the elusive Starglider in an amazing all-action combat flight simulation. The planet Novenia has been devestated by an evil tide of incoming Ergons; single-handed, you must wipe out the enemy in explosive one-to-one combat. Swooping down with lasers blasting, you'll need to take fast evasive action to avoid the barrage of enemy missiles. Exhilerating low-level attack and combat flight manouevres, coupled with a cunning strategic element, make Starglider a classic among classics.

    "One of the finest games ever for the Spectrum... it's hard to imagine a better shoot 'em up... Starglider is the best vector graphics game to date" - Crash Smash

    "The best 3D line graphic game ever. Better than Elite, with the emphasis on action" - Sinclair User Classic

    "The graphics are the one thing that make Starglider stand cockpit and laser gun above previous 3D games" - Your Sinclair Megagame

From the Triton Software Catalog For Your IBM, 1988:
    You're in for the Flight - and Fight - of Your Life!

    One pilot stands between the attacking evil space hordes and the entire free world - you. You're in command. You control the cockpit of an Airborne Ground Attack Vehicle (AGAV) on the planet Novenia. It's up to you to fight off the invasion by the notorious Fleet Commander, Hermann Kruud.

    Starglider brings together the reality of a flight simulator and the thrills of an action-packed, shoot-em-up arcade game. The high speed animation and spectacular vector graphics are so outstanding, you'll experience a true feeling of flight. Plus, the fast-paced mission (should you accept) leads you into battle against a galaxy of bloodthirsty aliens.

Unknown Source:
    You are in command of Novenia's last Airborne Ground Attack Vehicle, with limited weaponry and fuel, with no apparent means of replenishment. Using high-energy single pulse beam lasers and TV guided missles you must overcome the sophisticated strategies of the invading Ergon air and ground forces, led by Fleet Commander Hermann Krudd in the spacefleet starship..... the Starglider.
