I am Sinistar! Beware, I live! Run, Run, Run! Beware, Coward! Run, Coward! RAWWWAAAARRRGGGGHHH! I hunger.
~ Sinistar's in-game lines.

The Sinistar is the titular main antagonist of the 1983 arcade game of the same name, as well as its 1999 Windows sequel Sinistar Unleashed.

He was voiced by the late radio personality John Doremus in the original game. In the sequel, each of the Sinistar is voiced by one of the game's staff.

Appearance[]

Sinistar appears to be an animated spacecraft, with a demonic skull face. His eyes and mouth are bright red, as his body is gray/white colored. Sinistar's voice sounds quite demonic.

Biography[]

In the game, the player's objective is to mine crystals from nearby meteorites to create Sinibombs, while fending off enemy ships who are also mining the crystals. The enemies will use the crystals to build Sinistar, who will start to chase after the player upon obtaining twenty crystals, all while taunting them. The only way to destroy him (and thus clear a stage) is to use the Sinibombs on him, with thirteen required to destroy him. Touching him means immediate death and more taunting. Should the player fail to destroy him, the enemy ships can use the crystals to replenish Sinistar's health.

In the sequel Sinistar Unleashed, each stage features a different Sinistar, all of which are powered up by the Sporg, mining ships controlled by the Distilled Evil alien race, which seeks to dominate the universe by summoning the Sinistar from the Jumpgates.

Personality[]

Sinistar is best described as animalistic and brutal, rushing at any opportunity to destroy the player it can get while roaring like a savage beast. Intelligent and capable of speech, Sinistar displays an arrogant, self-centered and demeaning persona, belittling the player and calling them coward, threatening them and screaming for them to run away. He also makes references to his hunger (for the crystals possibly), showing an insatiable appetite, one that may be the cause of his desire to destroy the player.
