Star Wars
The arcade game was out several years ago and was a fast and furious shoot-'em-up. The computer game has the features of the arcade without the digitised speech. The game itself is not too bad, but the format is very old. Starstrike from Realtime was virtually the same game, more fun to play and is over two and a half years old - 'nuff said.
