And the answer is: Star Raiders. Released for the Atari 400/800 home computers in 1979. The enemies are called "Zylons".

Now THAT was a game. I used to play the 2600 version obsessively. I still have the little add-on keypad controller that was necessary for the game.

[ZylonBane]

Wow... if the hideous 2600 version impressed you, the original computer version would probably blow your head off.

It's the Asuras firing all guns!

Why are the Rakshasa-Lilith and the Aeolus-Lev upgrades so different? Please wait for my confirmation, probably I am not thinking on the same thing than you.

WTF? "Upgrades"? Those are all completely different ships.

[TopAce]

Write down some differences. I am curious if you can hit exatly I am thinking about.

What's WTF? Wrecked Terran Fighter?

[ZylonBane]

Okay, here we go:

Rakshasa/Lilith/Aeolus/Leviathan differences:

EVERYTHING

[StratComm]

We need some better questions, this is too confusing.  Anyway, I'll give it a go: presuming that you mean Fenris-Levi and Cain-Lilith, then it is the addition of the LRed main cannon on the Lilith, while the Fenris effectively only gets a hull strength upgrade to become the Leviathan.  Yes, there are other subtle weapon loadout differences but that's the big one.  Of course, if you are really comparing the different ships, then the terran cruisers each have 2 AAAf while the Shivan ones only have 1 each.  Otherwise the change from FS1-era cruiser to FS2-era is generally equivalent from Terran to Shivan.

[TopAce]

The correct answer would have been:
The Aeolus is better upgrade to the Lev than the Rakshasa to the Lilith, because The Aeolus has stronger hull than its predecessor. The Rakshasa is lighter cruiser than the Lilith.

You only would have had to compare the Aeolus-Rakshasa and then the Aeolus-Leviathan and the Rakshasa-Lilith. That simple.

How many weapons does the Deimos corvette have?

[ZylonBane]

I'm thinking the translator microbes are having a little trouble with the word "trivia" here.

24.

How much time do you have in the final mission of FS2 before Capella goes boom?

[redsniper]

50 seconds? I don't know if this is right so I won't post a question yet

[Hippo]

IIRC its around 12 minutes

[ZylonBane]

It's variable. You can even stop it entirely.

[Black Wolf]

What are the eight main components of a Subspace Drive?

And so I haven't answered a question. This is a good one

Correct.
It's almost always 11-12 minutes.

Just talk to Grey Wolf 2009 ...

The flux capacitor, hydrospanner, chronosynclastic infundibulator, antimatter confabulator, interocitor, rishathra router, zathras multiplexor, and a cup of tea.

[kasperl]

He didn't play it correctly, so his experiences don't count. Plus, he didn't really save Capella; the juggernauts could easily raze the planet with impunity.

[redsniper]

ooooooooh, the whole mission. I thought you meant just the supernova warning timer thing.
