Date error
Starhawk was released in 1979, around March. This date (March, 1979) is given in Mame. Its release was also announced in the March 15, 1979 issue of Play Meter. Ads from early 1979 annouce that the game would be available that spring. Its first appearance was at the ATE in London in January of 1979 (mentioned in the same issue of Play Meter as well as in other trade publications). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrp3 (talk • contribs) 07:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

1977 can't be right - according to Skelly, he wasn't even at Cinematronics then (he interviewed in May '78). The manual says '79 but it was at a trade show in '78 and the 'history of Cinematronics' article says it was released in '78 so I guess '78 seems a good fit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.79.110.43 (talk) 03:07, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
