Play Star Wars - The Arcade Game Online

Summary

In Star Wars – The Arcade Game for the Atari 5200 you sit right in the cockpit, looking out at a battlefield that feels like a true space dogfight. Your ship starts with nine energy shields, and each collision with a fireball, tower or catwalk chips one away, while blasting the Death Star can reward you with extra shields. The moment your shield count hits zero and you get hit, the mission ends.

Before you can even aim at the iconic Death Star, you must carve through relentless waves of Imperial TIE fighters that swarm an artificial planet, all while dodging a hail of fireballs. After clearing the fleet, you navigate a maze of laser‑topped towers stretching into the void, shooting the tops off for bonus points as the fireballs return for a final barrage.
