Starfire is available from the Starfire Design Studio
(www.starfiredesign.com) with both hardcopy versions and downloadable
versions. The original version of the game came out in 1975-76 as a
small
game in a ziploc bag from Task Force games and was their simple space
game
they sold along with Star Fleet Battles. There were a few ziploc
supplements released soon after that added fighters and then empires.
Later
2nd and 3rd editions were released as box games compiling and updating
the
rules. A couple of years ago the Galactic Starfire 4th edition was
released
and now the Ultra Starfire edition is available as a 100% PDF product.
