Description
A 3-D shooter that combines several modes - flight in several
different vehicle types; first-person shooting; and a unique lightsaber
mode. It uses several pieces of the original film scores. Some
of the dialogue is from the films, but most of it is re-recorded
with impersonations of the original voices.
Cabinet Information
This game was released in either an upright cabinet (LX) or a
deluxe sit-down model (DX). The DX machine uses a projection TV
instead of a monitor.
Conversion
This game uses a Sega Model 3 board, which can be converted into
other Sega games like Virtua Fighter 3 and Top Skater.
Game Introduction
At the start of the game, you choose one of three different missions,
each from a different film in the original trilogy. Each selectable
mission consists of a few stages; after you finish all stages,
you may choose another mission. After you finish two missions,
you enter a bonus round of lightsaber combat. After you finish
the third mission, you enter another lightsaber combat round,
and then you take on a fourth two-stage mission from Return of
the Jedi.
In several of the modes, the red Event buttons will light briefly;
pressing the button will provide the opportunity for a bonus.

Play
The Star Wars mission, Yavin, is all space combat, with you piloting
an X-Wing. In the first stage, you confront a multitude of TIE
Fighters; in the second stage, you must destroy the first Death
Star.
The Empire Strikes Back mission, Hoth, begins with you piloting
a snowspeeder; you must shoot down AT-STs and Probe Droids, and
assist your squadron to destroy AT-ATs. The second stage is a
first-person shooter; you move through the Rebel Base, defending
against snowtroopers and Wampa until you reach the Millenium Falcon.
The Retrun
of the Jedi mission begins with a Speeder Bike sequence; you must
attempt to destroy the Imperial bikes that you encounter. The
second stage is a first-person shooter; make your way to the Imperial
Bunker to destroy it. In a third stage, you take on an AT-ST with
nothing but a blaster.
The first
bonus stage, after your second mission, is a lightsaber phase
where you must block blaster shots from Boba Fett.

against Darth Vader.
After the
Darth Vader duel, you enter a space combat mode, again flying
an X-Wing to destroy the second Death Star.
Miscellaneous
The attract mode graphics include a LucasArts logo, a software
company owned by Lucasfilm.
