To be fair nearly everything possible has been released on the Atari by ! But, the Atari arcade cab to me was the first proper Star Wars game and what an experience it was. Back then it felt like a completely immersive experience playing the classic sit-down cockpit version of Star Wars. Originally the game started development in as a 3D space game which was called Warp Speed.
Plans though would eventually change, and the game would be developed into the first official Star Wars arcade experience. When it comes to the actual physical arcade cabinets you have two cabinets. The stand-up cab has different but very awesome artwork to look at and it is absolutely stunning.
I love the design so much that my MAME arcade cab in my games room was based on this design. The control system is a yoke with four triggers all of which are just used to fire.
It was also featured on the Return of the Jedi arcade cab that followed in Have you tried to play this game on emulation with a control pad or arcade stick? Nothing really compares to or replicates the Atari yoke which means playing it on the original arcade cab. Although Arcade1Up have released a Yoke controlled scaled down arcade cab in the States. When you start the game you can choose which difficulty level. You just need to shoot the TIE Fighters and their fireballs.
Survive the Tie Fighter onslaught and you head towards the Death Star. Once you have completed the Death Star surface you begin the famous trench run.

The familiar lines from the movie are also gone, and all this takes away some of the charm and atmosphere the arcade game had.
Granted, this game was published at a time when PCs weren't exactly known for their spectacular sound capabilities, but it's disappointing that basically all the sound effects are pretty much just one sound at different pitches. In the end, this is a pretty faithful port. It takes a few missions before the game starts getting interesting, and the sound is disappointing, but it captures the core gameplay and graphics, has all the levels, and the mouse controls make Star Wars: The Arcade Game easy to play.
It a good game to load up when you just want a quick gaming break. Even at cycles, this game runs too fast. You'll need to drop the cycles to about Please give whatever you can to help us. Create new account Request new password. Click here for the C64 version. Click here for the Amiga version.
