Star Wars: Attack on the Death Star

Star Wars: Attack on the Death Star is a Star Wars video game released only in Japan that recreates the Battle of Yavin, putting the player at the controls of an X-wing starfighter. It was released for the Sharp X68000 system in 1991 and the PC-98 in 1992.^[2]

The music from the game was arranged by Yuzo Koshiro, who also created the music for the Streets of Rage trilogy and ActRaiser video games.^[2]

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to the popular 1983 arcade game: the first stage is a dogfight with TIE fighters as you approach the station, the second stage makes you skim Death Star's surface while dodging turbolaser towers, and the last stage is the trench run to finally destroy the battle station.

The game features digitized voices taken from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and 3D wireframe vector graphics, which make the Death Star analysis sequence during the introduction of the game look nearly identical to original animation used in the movie during the Rebel base briefing room scene.^[1]
