Electronic Fun with Computers & Games (Dec, 1982)
Star Raiders takes full advantage of the superb graphics capabilities of the Atari computer to create a game so realistic and challenging that it could very weil become a standard against which other combat games will be measured.

The Atari Times (Mar 30, 2009)
There is a lot more to it then what I have described, but while it may sound overly complex, it's not, and it may sound boring, but it's far from it! I've you've never played it, what are you waiting for, go on, the Atarian starship fleet needs your help RIGHT NOW!

Computer and Video Games (CVG) (Feb, 1983)
You can work your way up through the ranks of the star fleet while you play. Some of the ranks will amuse you. Once this has been achieved the real fun can begin as you work your way up through the ranks from rookie to Star Commander. The good thing about the game is that it is pretty tough to win this top rank rating.
