Upon revisiting this childhood arcade classic, it still rules. It's just not as perfect as kid-me thought it was lol.

I am deducting half a point because there are quite a lot of cheap shots that are really just unfair. It can be learned and dealt with as the game is very short, you can learn where every single enemy placement is within a couple play-throughs, but the cheap hits cannot be justified, it's just cheap arcade stuff to take your quarters.

When it isn't being cheap though, it's so damn awesome. Both Death Star Runs, Battle of Hoth, Battle of Endor, Boba Fett Duel, and Darth Vader duel. Every one of these are awesome and so much fun to play. It can be extremely fast paced so it just hits you with adrenaline. It's just an extremely exciting game, there is never a dull moment.

I'm glad this one from my childhood holds up extremely well, and as far as I'm concerned, this is the best Star Wars arcade game ever. If you want an awesome Rail gunning experience through the Star Wars original trilogy, this is your game. Play it.
