A dream come true. After seeing Star Wars, who hasn't dreamed of taking on the Death Star,
using the force and saving the galaxy from the empire? While many, many games have been made
in the Star Wars name, this is one of the first, and (IMHO) the best. (Star Wars Arcade
by Sega tried to update the idea, but lost the simplicity of the original. Shadows of the Empire,
started off right with a great snow speeder level, but then had too much run and jump garbage.)
Atari's Star Wars features voices from the movie, three stages (Tie fighters, Death Star surface, and Death Star trench),
and a very good learning curve. While any good pilot can take out
the Death Star once or twice, it takes a veteran to blow it up ten or more times!
