    Are you referring to "Death Star" for the Apple II? I still have
it on 5.25 diskette if it's wanted (from what I remember it's just
a runnable binary file on a standard DOS 3.3 disk).

    I just discovered it's actually a port of an arcade game called
"Star Hawk" that Cinematronics released in 1979. I was sorting
through some Vectrex games I got in the mail last night and
coincidentally it came in the batch (I immediately recognized 
it from my experience with the Apple II port). I never released
that many popular Apple II games were arcade ports.
