Star Wars video games: A visual history

We recap the last 27 years of video games based on George Lucas's enormously influential Star Wars franchise.

1983



Star Wars (Arcade): Featuring sound effects and voice tracks from A New Hope, this vector-graphic game ranks among the most beloved arcade games of the early 1980s. Ports appear for various home PCs, the Atari consoles, and the ColecoVision. In Jedi Arena (Atari 2600), each player has a lightsaber and tries to redirect blasts from a Millennium Falcon-style floating seeker to the other player. Return of the Jedi: Death Star Battle (Atari 2600, 5200, Atari 8-bit, ZX Spectrum) lets you fly the Falcon in the Battle of Endor.
