Instantly recognizable visuals, which is more of a credit to Lucas than anything else. This was a bit of a poor choice of scenario for the 2600 since the real play here would have been to have you tether the walkers. Having to shoo them just turns this into spamming attacks at bullet sponges.

Ever since Jontron called this one Bird vs Camels, I saw life in a different light.
It's nothing special, but it's certainly a novelty. Flying at full speed is kinda fun.

Once you figure out to do, it's still not good.

Simply Incredible

The first official Star Wars game ever made. This is the start of my journey through every Star Wars game ever.

This is an Atari video game where you fly around and shoot at AT-ATs. That is all there is to it.

Decent graphics for Atari, uhhh yeah really not much to say on this one. It's the first star wars game ever and it's just like, kinda no reason to play now. I bet in 1982 this was somewhat impressive, but now there's no reason to play it. It's got nice sounds and easy to understand graphics.

I really got nothing else to say on this one lol

(See all my Star Wars Rankings and reviews on my profile here, the list is titled "Star Wars Ranked.")

pretty bare downs from what came before, I know you can't do a lot with Atari but at least the first game had some pretty colors and was actually fun, this one just bores me after like 30 minutes.
