OBI-WAN IS GONE BUT HIS PRESENCE IS FELT WITHIN THE FORCE. THE EMPIRE'S DEATH STAR, UNDER THE COMMAND OF DARTH VADER, NEARS THE REBEL PLANET. YOU MUST JOIN THE REBELLION TO STOP THE EMPIRE. THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU. ALWAYS.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Star Wars: The Arcade Game (originally just titled Star Wars) is an arcade game developed and released by Atari in 1983. It was also ported to various consoles and home computers in 1984 by Parker Brothers, and in 1987 and 1988 by Domark and Brøderbund.The game replicates the final battle in Star Wars: A New Hope in that you pilot an X-Wing Fighter to the Death Star in order to fire the torpedo that goes into the reactor core and destroys the battlestation. Opposing your approach are a squadron of TIE Fighters, bunkers and towers on the surface, and laser turrets firing shots at you in the trench run that leads to the exhaust port you need to fire into.The game is notable in its use of color vector graphics and its digitized speech replicating famous lines from the movie. It was followed in the arcades by Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi (which used an isometric diagonal-scrolling perspective similar to Zaxxon) and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (which was a conversion kit for this game).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Not to be confused with either Star Wars Arcade or Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, both by Sega.

Deflector Shields/Hit Points: Your X-Wing Fighter can take several hits before its shield is destroyed, with one more hit ending the game. Completing a level with the destruction of the Death Star regenerates the shield by one hit point.

comment
Attract Mode: This game is one of the few instances where the attract mode doesn't have a demo sequence. The game also occasionally plays the cantina theme from the movie during the title screen (which also plays when you make the high score list).

Collision Damage: Colliding with any of the towers or bunkers on the surface, as well as any of the barriers in the trench, costs your shield one hit point.

Airstrike Impossible: The trench run, which now has barriers blocking your way to the exhaust port, making that part more reminiscent of the Death Star reactor core shaft run from Return of the Jedi.
