Uridium (released on the NES as The Last Starfighter) is a science fiction side-scrolling shoot 'em up originally designed by Andrew Braybrook for the Commodore 64, and later ported to other 8-bit machines. It consists of fifteen levels, each named after a metal element, with the last level being called Uridium (a fictional metallic element, not to be confused with the real metallic element iridium). The manual quotes Robert Orchard, who invented the name as saying "I really thought it existed".

  • Uridium ist eine zweiteilige Reihe von horizontal scrollenden Shoot-’em-up-Computerspielen, die für den C64 bzw. Amiga erschienen. Die beiden Spiele wurden von Hewson Consultants produziert. (de)
  • Uridium est un jeu vidéo développé par Graftgold et édité par Hewson Consultants, sorti en 1986 sur l'ordinateur 8-bit Commodore 64. Conçu et programmé par Andrew Braybrook, Uridium est un shoot them up à scrolling horizontal, plébiscité pour son concept original et sa réalisation poussée. Aux commandes du vaisseau Manta, le joueur survole des cuirassés de l'espace et doit détruire des cibles tout en évitant la flotte ennemie et les reliefs. Le jeu a été porté sur les 8-bit Amstrad CPC et ZX Spectrum, le 16-bit Atari ST et les compatibles PC. Il est également disponible sur Nintendo Entertainment System, dans une version remaniée intitulée The Last Starfighter (1990), basée sur le film homonyme. Le jeu a connu une suite, Uridium 2, en 1993. En 2014, presque 30 ans après la sortie d'Uridium, une adaptation appelée Oricium est réalisée par Jose Maria Enguita (alias "Chema") pour les ordinateurs 8-bit Oric 1 et Oric Atmos, contemporains du Commodore 64 et du ZX Spectrum. Cette adaptation, véritable prouesse technique au vu des limitations des micro-ordinateurs Oric, est jouable sur les machines d'origine, et est également compatible avec des émulateurs multiplateformes comme Oricutron.

The manual quotes Robert Orchard, who invented the name as saying "I really thought it existed". Uridium was later released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. Mindscape purchased a license to release a game based on the film The Last Starfighter. Rather than program a new game, however, Mindscape decided to take an easier route by recycling an older, relatively obscure game. The title screen, sprites, and soundtrack were modified, but the levels and gameplay were identical. In 2003, it was re-released on the C64 Direct-to-TV. In 2008, the C64 version was a title on the Wii Virtual Console, released on 28 March for the Virtual Console in Europe, costing 500 Wii Points. (en)
