''Stargunner'' boasts some impressive VGA graphics and a great soundtrack, and could also run smoothly on a computer with a 486DX/33 processor.[[note]]This is quite a feat given that said processor was manufactured seven years before the game's release and most other MS-DOS games released at around the same time as ''Stargunner'' required a 486DX/66 (which has double the processing speed) to run just as well.[[/note]] The game has 33 stages divided into four parts, with the first one, a six-stage episode called Scout Mission, being the only available episode in the {{shareware}} version, detailing the Stargunners' reconnaissance against all three strongholds of Zile. The full version adds three nine-stage episodes, titled Stellar Attack, Terran Assault and Aquatic Combat, with each episode detailing the strike on each of the Zilions' three strongholds. In between each stage, you are allowed to purchase upgrades for your ship using credits accumulated throughout the game. These upgrades range from top and bottom sidearms and engine upgrades that make your ship more responsive in flight to satellites, or moons, that orbit your ship and extra lives.
