The Star Wars Arcade is a 3D shoot 'em-up game set in Episodes 4, 5, and 6 of the Star Wars saga. You take control of either an X-Wing or Y-Wing, and are put right in the middle of the space combat.
The gameplay involves shooting down specific numbers of enemy fighters before time runs out, or simply making it to the end without getting destroyed.
Some missions take place in deep space, around asteroids, or near Star Destroyers. Others take place on the surface of the Death Star and re-create iconic scenes from the films.
