This game started out as a port of the arcade game Star Castle.

Yars' Revenge was programmed by Howard Scott Warshaw, who also designed Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., and Saboteur.

An “easter egg” in the game displayed Howard's initials on screen when the player moved vertically across the line where the Qotile was killed.

In the Japanese box scans, the “Atari 2800” was actually a redesigned Atari 2600.
