This video contains gameplay footage of "Star Force", developed by an unknown developer and taken from the "U-Bewdy All Aussie Pak", published by ECP in 1987. It's not a complete play through, but rather a brief demonstration of the game in action in order to give you an idea of it.

Gameplay footage was recorded from a PAL (Early) C64C via Composite, with the resulting footage deinterlaced and rendered out at 50 frames per second (as you would expect for PAL hardware).

Additional Notes:
All the copies of this title I've seen online happen have the same corrupted sprite for the bases you dock at to refuel - I wonder if there is a copy of this title out there which doesn't have corrupted graphics?

Also, the instructions in the compilation didn't include the icons for enemy ships and starbases, meaning some trial and error was necessary to work out which is which. In addition, I found it dragged out a lot when engaging enemies - compared to similar games, which is why this video is quite long in comparison.
