Trivia
- Starhawk is the first video game ever to be based upon Star Wars, although it did not receive official license.
- Tim Skelly wrote the entire game out on legal pads, using opcodes as the development tools had not been written yet.
- The arcade cabinet had to have a cinder block placed inside of it, in order to prevent it from tipping onto the player.
- The Vectrex version will resort to using symbols such as #, @ and ? to represent numbers if the time bonuses extend the 2-digit countdown timer beyond 99 seconds. Good players can cause the game to freeze or crash once all these characters have been used up.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
