Star Fighter is a 1978 board game published by Heritage Models under the name Gametime Games. Its Gameplay section describes it as 'a simple science fiction game of tactical space combat playable by two to four players.' Tony Watson reviewed it for The Space Gamer magazine (No. 23, May-June 1979), writing that 'the rules are simple enough to allow you to play with wives or girlfriends, little brothers or sons, but Starfighter offers a tactical interest which even more jaded SF gamers can appreciate,' and calling it 'a fun little game, further enhanced by its high physical quality.' It is catalogued among board games introduced in 1978 and titles published by Heritage Models. It is a distinct game from Star, the unrelated 1983 abstract connection game created by Craige Schensted for Games magazine, sharing no publisher, designer, genre or era beyond a partial name overlap.
