About this game

And during those missions, you'll be expected to shoot out the sides of huge enemy battlecruisers, travel inside of enemy carriers and travel through the canyons of Redeye to deliver your payload.
The PlayStation and the 3DO versions offer the choice between an arcade mode and an enhanced mode.
In the enhanced modes that flat polygons are remade in fully textured polygons and the black bars on the sides have been removed to turn the image into a fullscreen view.
About 3DO
The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (1993/1994) was an ambitious, expensive CD-based console licensed to multiple manufacturers rather than built by a single company — a business model that ultimately contributed to its commercial failure. Low overall sales and a short commercial life mean 3DO games were produced in modest numbers, making complete copies a specialist retro collecting niche today.
Gamevaro tracks StarBlade for 3DO with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding StarBlade to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DO release dates back to 1991.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
StarBlade has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
