Description

 

 

 

The player controls an X-wing fighter from a first-person perspective with color 3D vector graphics. His goal is to destroy the Death Star through three attack phases.

In the first phase he is in a dogfight with enemy TIE fighters. The second phase takes place on the surface of the Death Star. The player must destroy laser turrets and make it to the trench that contains a ventilation tube, which is the weakness of the Death Star. In the third phase the player flies through the trench, avoiding turrets, and must fire a proton torpedo into the ventilation tube. If the player is successful, the Death Star explodes and the game restarts with a higher difficulty level.

Unlike the movie, where the units shoot beams similar to lasers, the enemy units in this game shoot projectiles resembling fireballs at the player's fighter.

The game featured several digitized samples of voices from the movie. The most memorable was perhaps the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi, after losing the game, stating "The force will be with you--always."

The game is available as a standard upright or an elaborately decorated sit-down version. The controls consist of a yoke control (similar to a steering wheel) with several buttons, all which fired the fighter's laser.
