Starglider Starglider 2 was an early 3D space simulator/flight simulator video game released in 1988 by Argonaut Games and was the sequel to Starglider. It was released for the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, PC, ZX Spectrum and Apple Macintosh home computers. The Atari ST version was one of the few action games that could run on that machine's mono display. The Atari ST and Commodore Amiga versions used Argonaut's "Argonaut Dual Loading System", a system whereby the discs were supposed to be interchangeable; the Atari ST disc could be used to load the game onto a Commodore Amiga and vice-versa. This was supposed to save money, by allowing publishers to produce a single boxed version of the game for both formats. In practice, the system was unreliable, and after Starglider 2 it was abandoned. [source:wikipedia]
