Star Wars #arcade game is 40 years old

The sit down cabinet featured stereo sound, digitised speech, 3D vectors and was a new experience in gaming

With the cool yoke controller you had to battle the Empire as 'Red 5'

A brilliant game

Did you use The Force?

Anyway if this got your John Williams going, some guy did a freeware version in his spare time 20 years ago. https://www.moddb.com/games/starwars-battle-of-endor/downloads/starwars-battle-of-endor-full-game
STARWARS: Battle of Endor, full game file

This is the full game of starwars Battle of Endor. Please note that this is not my game, I only upload it so my mods will work.

(to cheat - you should, it's really hard! - turn off radar, don't ever fire, and just ram tie fighters until you die. you'll come back with 99 lives. USE THE FORCE, LUKE)

@lum
No idea if that is your joke,
or if is actually in the game.
Either way, I laughed.
Thanks!

@lum My dad used to take me to the local arcade in the mall and between us we would spend like 5 bucks on this game, a quarter at a time (I was a kid at the time and was terrible). It was the coolest video game ever. Thinking back on it, that 5.00 was a pretty big spend for my poor college student parents at the time, especially for a video game.
