You guys persuaded me, I thought it was a 6 but it's really too simplicistic for that movie. Only discreet graphics.

With a child's imagination you could make this game so much better than it was. As an adult it's another in a now VERY long list of rubbish Star Wars games.

Fun for about half an hour then watch as it disappears into your C64 collection never to be seen again! Not all the commy's fault as the arcade game was pretty dire too.

I loved this as a kid. Play it now it sucks a bit, but takes me back. Great Ewok victory song tho!

Ahmad 2004-02-21

Haven't seen the movie, but I have it on C64. But I don't sometimes play this because I find it hard to play.

The force is not with this one

TWR 2003-06-06

It seems this was made in a rush since it is a hasty work. Small parts of the graphics looks OK but mainly it contains of messy backgrounds and blur sprites. The sound is no big hit. Game-play I find rather boring.

Impressive!
Most impressive!

God arful terrible conversion of the not so hot Atari arcade game. The force was not with this one... (God thats a terrible pun)

Space Ace UK 2002-08-17
