Star Wars
aka:
Star Wars: The Arcade Game
Moby ID: 3929
DOS version
The Force arrives on the PC
The Good
- Nonstop arcade action.
- Easy to play.
- Nice vector graphics, you can easily recognize the TIE Fighter and the TIE Interceptor.
- "Use the Force" bonus, survive the Trench without firing your lasers, and you'll be awarded this extra bonus.
- It's Star Wars, which makes the game just that little bit better (for me at least).
**The Bad**
- Audio is almost non-existent. I know it is an old game, but the developers could have used the PC speaker to at least produce something which resembles the Star wars theme.
- You play the same three stages over and over again. It seems a bit illogical to destroy seven Death Stars and it also gives me that "been there done that" feeling.
**The Bottom Line**
Star Wars is an arcade shooter that's so action-packed, you don't have the time to think about how dated the graphics are. But due to it's repetitive nature you probably won't play it for a very long time.
