Star Wars 1983

About

Star Wars is a first-person shoot 'em up based around the original Star Wars film. You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star - which, as any fan knows, involves attacking the 'weak spot' near the exhaust. To even get to this you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty. The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.

What is happening now

Star Wars is a classic arcade shooter that has appeared across numerous platforms since its 1983 arcade debut, establishing itself as a foundational entry in the Star Wars video game library. Star Wars Zero Company has recently launched and already generated significant player activity and discussion. Within days of release, fans have restored cut missions that didn't make the final build, while the community has begun experimenting with expanded squad configurations on PC, pushing the party size beyond its default limits. Character-specific build guides have emerged for players seeking optimal loadouts. The game's development was marked by some turbulence, with staff furloughed shortly before launch, and an early pitch reportedly positioned it within the Titanfall universe before the Star Wars license was secured. Community interest continues to grow, with players vocally requesting additional game modes.
