In a sense, this game proves that you can't change history. Even in the more recent Star Wars games such as the Rogue Squadron series, you don't play to prevent the Empire from overrunning the Rebel base, but to just give the Rebels time enough to escape. So yes, you can't change the outcome of the movies, but you can sure have a hell of a lot of fun trying!

I remember that game, played it in a shop display in stevenage (early 80's) not a bad game if i say so myself....I have seen a couple of A8 variants of that game that were pretty decent, namely the original 'attack of the mutant camels' and rebel probe i think (might have been called something else (but it did have the same game theme as your blog game LF)

True, that's a classic ploy of the Rebels. You'd think the Empire would be onto them by now. But ah well, it is satisfying to blow things up. That seems to be something I'm liking more and more as I get older.

 

 

Attack of the mutant camels? LOL! I haven't heard of that one before, but it is much too similar to this to be a coincidence. But it is a very fun game. Maybe it's just because I was so young at the time. I was probably six when I first tried playing this.
