King Atari Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I've been wondering about this one recently. Which 2600 Star Wars game do you feel is best? Personally, I like ESB, with TAG a close second (I HATE that control scheme. I know it's meant to simulate a real throttle, but it just doesn't work for me). I also like Death Star Battle, with that cool half-built Death Star. Jedi Arena is, uh, less than good. But what do YOU think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inextremis staple Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 the only one i can really remember playing was ESB and since thats like my all time favorite atari game id have to say that ones the best theres just something about it when the theme plays and youre invincible for just that long...

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I like Star Wars the Arcade game first and a close second I like Death Star Battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted July 7, 2002 Author Share Posted July 7, 2002 close second I like Death Star Battle. Really? I thought DSB was generally disliked. It's on my "Really want badly" list. The graphics are good, I love the shot of the not-completed Death Star in the distance on screen one, and that zoom-ahead thing when you go towards the Death Star isn't too shoddy, either. Although it doesn't have the addictive fun of ESB, it's good for a few plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Star Wars the Arcade Game is by far the best. 3 unique sections of play, shooting Vader's TIE off into oblivion, using the Force to hit the exhaust port and rack up BIG points, that manic trench run, its all there, baby! ESB is really fun, but it can get monotonous after a while. I'm glad they have cool features like solid walkers and stuff to keep it fun. DSB is definitely on my major want list, I've never played it, but want to. Jedi Arena is neat in its own way, but most fun with 2 people.

Stella'sGhost Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 TAG is the best, you have 3 different screens and the vector looking graphics work well. DSB is the second best, nice colors, and it's not easy. The problem with ESB is that nothing happens, you just keep playing until your finger dies, though it is fun none the less. JA is well, a nice try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 BAH! Ewoks do not count! They are second class Star Wars citizens! And besides you can only play their game on the emu or Cuttle Cart! Hooey on a bunch of Ewoks. (the game isn't even 100% complete is it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted July 7, 2002 Author Share Posted July 7, 2002 Yeah, but I was thinking released SW games. PS-Can you get Ewok from Hozer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I don't think Hozer can get you a copy of Ewok Adventure, due to it's bankswitch scheme...still, wouldn't hurt to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Getting Ewok Adventure to work on the Cuttle Cart just a week after I got it, and a week after the rom had been found was a real satisfying moment. It was like back in the eighties, playing a new game that had been just released, even if it wasn't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
