Star Wars is a first-person shoot 'em up based around the original Star Wars film. You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star - which, as any fan knows, involves attacking the 'weak spot' near the exhaust. To even get to this you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty. The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.
Released 1 May 1983 for Atari 5200, Atari ST/STE, Mac and Atari 2600 by Atari Games and Atari, published by Parker Brothers and Brøderbund Software. About 1 hours to beat.
