The Tie Fighters went through a little redesign for the pod where the pilots sit, but you can tell the ships are still undoubtedly Tie Fighters. The lines used in this game are fatter than the arcade originals due to the much lower resolution of PC monitors at the time, but the shapes and ships still look very much like they did in the arcade. Due to the lessened PC color palette of the time, Vektor Grafix shifted the colors a bit from the arcade. Graphically, the game retains much of the original arcade game. And yes, you can still get a bonus if you “use the Force”.
After that, you go through a 3 level second mission, a more varied 3 level third mission, and from then on, you just get more things thrown at you without really having anything new added to the levels. You start off with a quick 2 level first mission. You'll take on Tie Fighters in outer space, zoom through the Death Star's various defenses, and try to reach the infamous exhaust port in hopes of blowing the Death Star into a billion little pieces. Like the original arcade game, you play the part of Luke Skywalker in his X-Wing fighter. This game got a number of ports, including one for DOS PCs. In the arcades, the original movie was transformed into a vector graphics 3D shmup (shoot-'em-up). Who doesn't know that classic sci-fi movie from the late 1970s? It spawned a huge toy line, many sequels and side stories in movies and books, and quite a few video games of varying quality. The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.Star Wars. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty. Your X-Wing starts with six shields, but more can be awarded for good performance.
In the second phase the station's surface is protected by laser towers, third involves attacking its weakest spot - the unprotected exhaust port - with proton torpedos. In the first phase you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters, including dogfighting the one piloted by Darth Vader himself. You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star. It first appeared for arcade coin-operated machines and was subsequently converted to other gaming platforms.
