Star Wars is a classic first-person rail shooter released for the Arcade by Atari in 1983. Featuring distinctive 3D color vector graphics, the game puts you in the cockpit of Luke Skywalker’s X-wing fighter to relive the climactic assault on the Death Star. As one of the most iconic arcade cabinets of its era, it delivers fast-paced space combat and digitized voice samples straight from the movie.
How to Play
The objective is to survive three distinct combat phases: dogfighting TIE fighters in open space, skimming the Death Star’s surface to destroy turrets, and finally navigating the iconic trench run to fire a proton torpedo into the exhaust port. In this browser emulator, use the arrow keys to pilot your X-wing and press Z or X to fire your lasers.
Tips
- Listen closely to the digitized voices; characters will often warn you of incoming fire or when you need to maneuver.
- Don’t worry about destroying every TIE fighter. Your main priority is shooting their incoming fireballs to avoid taking damage to your shields.
