Description: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

Star Wars is a first-person shooter based around the final scenes of the original Star Wars film. It first appeared for arcade coin-operated machines and was subsequently converted to other gaming platforms.

You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star. In the first phase you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters, including dogfighting the one piloted by Darth Vader himself. In the second phase the station's surface is protected by laser towers, third involves attacking its weakest spot - the unprotected exhaust port - with proton torpedos. Your X-Wing starts with six shields, but more can be awarded for good performance. 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.
Box Text: At last! The most famous coin-op Arcade Game and one of the most successful films of our era come together int his Domark publication.
Faithful to the original, the home computer version of STAR WARS should win first place in any game players collection, and will always be the one you go back to time after time.
The first scene is the Space Attack, with waves of hostile space-craft attacking your lonely but powerful ship. You battle to the deathstar, and once there fly close to the ground in a daring attempt to blast the space towers and flying stars, steering your way through the barrage.
Finally, you emerge in the trench, jumping and ducking the stretch barriers and shooting the missile emplacements fastened to each side of the death defying walls. There are many levels to the game with stirring music and speech synthesis* fast and furious action is guaranteed throughout.
