Flojomojo Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The Amiga version probably gets my vote for best classic version. Features digitized speech and mouse control too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9tc-dbyUjjc I recently discovered this and think it's great too. Fat color vectors, excellent sound and control. I'll have to try the Atari ST version sometime too. I had the Mac version, which didn't have great sound or color but was pretty amazing for what it was. You can play a browser-based emulation of it here. https://jamesfriend.com.au/pce-js/system6/ I think the same person, Jurgen Friedrich, programmed all 3 ports! The Gamecube port by Aaron Giles is just MAME, the screen is too dim, and the controller isn't right. I'd just as soon play it emulated on a PC. This was a good retro remake. It's probably hard to get it running on a modern PC though. http://www.minionsoft.com/wordpress/?page_id=160 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The Amiga and ST versions look great. I never saw them before. I never knew anyone who owned either of those computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Oooh, just thought of the one I like best. I don't know if it counts since it was a latter-day homebrew (but is now nearly 20 years old itself!):Star Fire for the Vectrex. Although ostensibly a clone of Star Fire--the first screen looks more like Star Fire than Star Wars--there's no question this game is really Star Wars: The Arcade Game, complete with the surface tower stage and the trench run. And it's amazing; not only is it a vector game, but you can "reverse" the controls so it's actually playable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Probably not the "best", but what do you think of the new Trak-Ball control for 2600 Star Wars The Arcade Game ( in 2 versions for reveresed controls )? http://atariage.com/forums/topic/243453-atari-2600-trak-ball-games/?p=3338227 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska_music_fan83 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I have always thought the 32X version was enjoyable and pretty good. However, I've only ever played the Atari 2600 and 32X versions so I don't have much to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
