Descpription:
Star Wars is an arcade game produced by Atari Inc.
and released in 1983. The game is a first person space simulator, simulating the
attack on the Death Star from the final act of Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope.
The game is composed of 3D color vector graphics. The player assumes the role of
Luke Skywalker ("Red Five"), as he pilots an X-wing fighter from a first-person perspective.
Unlike other arcade games of similar nature, the player does not have to destroy every
enemy in order to advance through the game; he must simply survive as his fighter flies
through the level, which most often means he must avoid or destroy the shots that enemies fire.
Each hit on his craft takes away one shield (of the six he started out with),
and if he runs out of shields and takes another hit, the game ends.
