Legacy
Star Fire was the first arcade game to allow a player to enter his or her initials in to the high score table. The current record for the high score is 9,780 points, set by Laura Curran of Las Vegas in January 1982. As of 2010 this was the oldest high score record in the Twin Galaxies arcade database. Star Fire was also one of the first games to allow the player to partially damage an enemy with a glancing shot.
Due mostly to the mise-en-scene, the 1983 Atari Star Wars arcade game shares many similarities with Star Fire.
Star Fire can be run (emulated) on a PC by the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. It is one of the few games that has legally released for use on the MAME emulator, along with its unreleased update, Star Fire II.
