Line 16:
In a bizarre [[Where It All Began]] [[Book Ends|Book End]], a former Atari employee has [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/698159145/atari-2600-star-castle created what Warshaw said was impossible]: an Atari 2600 port of ''Star Castle'' that works and doesn't "suck".
{{tropelist}}
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The plot.
Line 31:
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: You, if you don't get out of the way of the cannon projectile.
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]: Justified in that they're Earth insects that got mutated into intelligent beings while in space. In the remake, they're still mutant Earth insects, but they look like 4-armed humans with wings and antennae
* [[Instant 180
* [[Justified Extra Lives]]: Always another Yar to send out there.
* [[Lead the Target]]: Shooting the Qotile with the Zorlon Cannon.
Line 37:
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]
* [[Painfully-Slow Projectile]]: The Zorlon Cannon, which works both for you and against you. For you, in that it gives you time to get out of the way; against you, in that you have to set up a shot against a moving target.
* [[Revenge]]: [[Captain Obvious| Of course,]] but in order to learn ''why'' you have to [[All There in the Manual|read the mini-comic]] included with the original game.
* [[Scoring Points]]
* [[Shoot'Em Up]]
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
----
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Yar.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
** Stage 3: Yar reluctantly runs away or hides when Bar-Yargler tells her to stay away from the Qotile dreadnoughts, but ultimately grows fed up and, when one of them notices her, she attacks it with all she has. Cue [[Boss Battle]]!
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Bar-Yargler is very good at snarking. Yar picks up the habit herself while talking to him, though she can't match his zingers.
* [[In Name Only]]: There is some stuff from the original that remains here (Namely, there are the Yars, the Qotile, the Zorlon Cannon, the Yar homeworld is still called Razak), but [https://web.archive.org/web/20150128163824/http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/16/yars-revenge-remade-into-an-anime-inspired-rail-shooter/ most of it has been reimagined, including the gameplay, to the point that you wouldn't think that the original game and this one had much of a link between each other].
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]: Yar gets a new armor in the beginning of Stage 3. Later on, she also gets the Zorlon Cannon.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Yar's race is known as the Yars.
