A game entitled The Last Starfighter was released in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a side-scrolling game where the player controls a Gunstar and fights against enemy fighters and battleships. When a level is completed, the Gunstar initiates Death Blossom and destroys the battleship.

Sadly, this game is simply a remake of a Commodore 64 game entitled Uridium and aside from a few modifications, such as the title screen, theme music, and some of the sprites, it is only vaguely connected to the film.
