ATemporaryDistraction.com: "Hot on the heels of Yar’s Revenge and Haunted House, Atari continue their wave of Atari 2600 remakes with downloadable title Star Raiders. A game that originally came at the peak of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica’s success, Star Raiders allowed players to jump into the cockpit of a space ship and engage in some intergalactic dogfighting action. With Battlestar Galactica newly popular and fresh in the minds of a more recent generation and high-flying dogfighting games in short supply, there’s perhaps no better time for someone to take a stab at it, but those hoping for a next-gen Tie Fighter will be sorely disappointed with Star Raiders’ dull, dreary and repetitive gameplay."

The ST sold extremely well, was the best selling computer in Europe for several years running.
Oh yeah? I just remember it here in the states doing nothing. Everyone I knew definitely went with the Amiga.

GB: "Reboots of classic games seem to do fairly well for XBLA and PSN; retro fans get a trip down memory lane while the uninitiated get to see what all the fuss is about with the benefit of HD graphics and updated sound. Some three decades after its first appearance, the classic Atari title Star Raiders is the latest blast from the past. "
The original Star Raiders was released in 1979 for the Atari 400 \ 800 8-bit computers. How does this remake hold up?
