Have fun and ignore episode I and II. You were learn nothing that will give you more of an insight to episode IV (that's Star Wars - A New Hope to us geeks). Enjoy this mindless adventure. Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie - the greatest motley bunch since, well who knows. There is nothing to gain from the movie except this one basic principle; the bad guys wear black and use creepy voices and the good guys use the force and kiss their sister (oops gave something away). George Lucas unfortunately forgot with episodes 1 and 2 that storyline is the most important part of a movie. Thankfully when Star Wars was created CGI was still in a galaxy far, far away.

zackys30 April 2001There are times when you look back at certain video games and say that it was the cheesiest game that ever came out on the market. Then there's one that would never leave you alone.
For me that game is STar WArs.
Yes it's simple 8-bit graphics and mono sound are out dated by today's Playstation 2, Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast. BUt none of those games for any of those sytems can even match the excitement of going down that trench and blowing up the death star.
You can still find this game around in some places collecting dust next to the janitorial supplies closet. If and when you do find it, play it. It's only a quarter but it would be the best quarter that you've ever spent. -
Movie Nuttball4 May 2005Star Wars Arcade is one of the one of the coolest action video games! The characters, the action, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!
Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!
Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the Sega Genesis 32X. The backgrounds are really beautiful! Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!
Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!
Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!
Overall: I have always loved Star Wars Arcade! If you like excellent adventure games, shooters, and more then I strongly recommend you play this game!

XweAponX27 September 2021...At the Hamburger Mary's at the corner of Folsom and 13th St in San Francisco. It's because the game was installed into their bar area and that's where I would be after work on Friday nights, sometimes Saturday nights too. I would order my drink and then I would retire into the cockpit and just play the game until I got sick of it for that night. Which was usually a couple of hours.
I couldn't believe how similar it was to watching the trench run in the movie, even though it was very simple computer animation. Getting into the trench was my favorite part of the game it was very difficult to get through it at that point. The wire frame graphics looked a lot like the graphics from the movie, and back in 1977, that was considered high end graphics. Little did we know that less than 10 years later we would get graphics cards with millions of colors. Heck nobody knew that we would get 4K video, which allows you to see every pimple on Mark Hamill's forehead in the original Star Wars movie.
What killed was that you got to sit in a cockpit and you had a pretty nifty flight controller.
Usually I got through about three drinks before I could no longer function.
I know they are making this game even today and that you can buy the cockpit, they do have versions of the game without the cockpit though. I needed that "steering wheel" in order to do it right.
The only other games that they had back then were astroids and I hated that. There was a game made by Exidy called "StarFire" which was pretty similar to this, but it didn't have a trench run but you did get to fly around and shoot down other enemy space ships, it also had a cockpit. -
ilovestarwars17 November 2004Star Wars: The Arcade Game was the first Star Wars arcade and the second Star Wars game of all times. There are three levels, Easy, Medium and Hard.Each one has more Bonus points than the other.The Easy has 0, the Medium has 3000 and the Hard has 6000 points. And there are three courses, TIE Fighters, Outer Defenses and The Trench Run. The graphics of Star Wars: The Arcade Game are in color vector mode.It was very good graphics for the Atari Dynasty. The good part is the original voices of Obi-Wan and Han Solo.
