Starblazer is one of ACS' forst games, and the one that shot them to popularity. Released in 1980, Starblazer is a 2D fixed shooter with a background of falling stars to create the illusion of movement.

Starblazers plays similar to most fixed space shooters of the time, like Space Invaders (1978) and Galaxian (1979), with enemies attacking by shooting or performing a kamikaze diving attack. However, unlike those games, which featured enemies forming a single formation without changing, the enemies in Starblazer cycle between five different formations per level, adding more variety to the game.
