Star Wars Review Summary
Star Wars does have some positive aspects to it, but it also has some problems as well. If you're absolutely crazy about anything Star Wars or looking to satisfy your nostalgia, this game could be what you're looking for. For anyone else, this game probably wouldn't be your best choice. However, it is free so there's no reason not to give it a shot and see how much you really enjoy the game.

Game Description
Special Note: Reason for Discontinuing This Game
After some internal discussion we decided to discontinue this game due to potential trademark violations by the game developer. Game remakes, as fun as they are, actually are not legal if they use trademarked names or game features found in the original game. Since this particular game closely resembles the original, we decided to be safe rather than sorry and discontinued it.
If you would like to still play the game, we are happy to point you to the Star Wars Developer's Site.
Remake of the awesome arcade shooter!
Star Wars is an award-winning remake of the classic space shooter that many of us remember playing in the arcades. From the sounds, graphics, and controls, the folks at Minionsoft did a fine job capturing the true essence of the original.
The gameplay is very straightfoward - you get into the cockpit of your trusty X-Wing fighter and take on waves of Tie Fighters, tower defenses, and trench guns. There are three stages, and each ends with a final run to fire your torpedoes to destroy the dreaded Death Star! If you miss, you'll have to do it again and risk your life for the sake of the rebel alliance.
Windows 7 Users
Since this is an older game, if you are running Windows 7 you will need to download a special .dll file in order to get it to work. You can download the Windows 7 .dll file at the developer's site here.

If you are a Star Wars fan like me, you will love this game. Destroy the TIE Fighters and blow up the Death Star. The only problem is it’s hard to play with a laptop.

I found this game to be quite interesting, though nothing special.
The game basically starts with an arcade like style where the screen is essentially controlled for you, and you have to shoot down the TIE fighters and block their lasers by shooting them with your own. After you finish that, 3 or 4 generally start retreating to the Death Star, and that’s your cue.
The game might glitch and cause you to go through the portion of the game where you scrape the surface of the Death Star and throw you right into the trench, where you have to shoot at turrets and again, block their bullets. In the medium level, the gameplay changes slightly and you have to fly over small blockades while you’re also avoiding the turret fire.
The game also offers an invincibility mode.
Overall, the game was okay, but it took longer to download than it did to play.

This game was so cool that I forgot heavy games of GTA, NFS. It’s fun to pass cool and adventurous missions and much more. The sound effects are amazing as if the spaceships are behind me. Don’t worry, it’s free and the full version.

It is the excellent game of space shooting ever played. It has best 3d background because it looks nearly same as the cartoon star wars. It also appears to feel us as the pilot of that plane I feel that I myself is in that war.
