Dr Doom SUBS
3rd Sep 2016
 Rated 7/10
I don't remember this one and after a bit of research I can see why. Two years after the success of the Star Wars arcade game came this follow up which was merely a modification of the original. Arcade owners had the choice to convert their existing Star Wars cabinets to house this new game at considerable cost. The problem being that the new game is inferior to the old one!

The At-At level is pretty cool but the real problem is the final level. Dodging asteroids is something of an anti-climax and simply can't compete with the previous finale of destroying the Death Star.

With the original Star Wars still doing good business there was little incentive for arcades to convert to this new game (unless they had two machines) making it something of a rarity.

Not a bad game but one destined to forever be compared to it's classic predecessor.
