Note

Verification needed that this is indeed "Polar Star", and of the media type.
Surviving photos show a tape as the media. The following instruction on the back of the package mostly matches the game.
Dovrete attacare e distruggere i caccia spaziali degli alieni partili dalla astronave madre. Se avrete successo in questa prima fase potrete tentare di distruggere la grande astronave mentre si rifornisce di energia, lanciandole contro il vostro missile atomico.
Translation: You will have to attack and destroy the aliens' space fighters departing from the mothership. If you are successful in this first phase, you can attempt to destroy the large spaceship as it replenishes itself by firing your atomic missile at it.
