+intellivotion Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I guess we all grew up with Star Wars, especially if you are as young as me (...ehm...) and you are in your 50's. I checked with all Intellivision games (classics and homebrews) and found only six games matching Star Wars saga scenes (in chronological order): Blockade Runner – Solo: A Star Wars Story (The Kessel run) Space Battle/Space Spartans – Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (The Tie Fighter attack) Star Strike – Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (The Death Star battle) Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (The planet Hoth battle) Meteor Storm (from IntyBasic Showcase Vol. 2) – Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (The Hoth asteroid field) Space Raid/Zaxxon – Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (The battle of Starkiller Base) The Dreadnaught Factor – Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (Poe Dameron's T-70 X-wing fighter vs. a First Order dreadnaught) I didn't find any scene matching Space Battle, Space Armada, Space Hawk, Astrosmash, Space Spartans, Beamrider, Defender, Zaxxon, Atlantis, Demon Attack, Nova Blast, Astro Invader, Missile Domination et cetera Did I miss anything?

+JasonlikesINTV Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Pretty sure Frog Bog takes place in the Degobah system. Lots of tasty frogs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntyFanMatt Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I think one could argue that Space Battle and Space Spartans are very similar to the Tie Fighter attack on the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope. When you are shooting down the spaceships, it's very similar to shooting the Tie Fighters from the gun turrets that Luke and Han used. The ships really look like Ties in Space Spartans too, the kind Vader has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loafer Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Zaxxon could reflect the attack on the city by the rebels at the end of Rogue One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Last Jedi has the bombing run at the beginning. Any Intellivision games with bombing? ? Shark Shark is obviously the underwater scene from Phantom Menace where there is always a bigger fish Night Stalker = battles against Droid Army. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 These last few entries stretch the imagination some, so I will offer that Pitfall is really the Jedi training on Degobah 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One ends with the long battle on planet Scarif Yeah, the Rebels never really attacked/bombed any city/planet directly with their ships - At least not that I recall The battle at Scarif was a ground assault with a big space battle.

Some rebels had made it inside the dome and attacked the empire's forces but it's true, it's not really relevant as much as The Force Awakens rebel attack on the Starkiller's base at the end of that movie. Right? RIGHT?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
