Opening Snide Remarks: A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far
away...

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: This game is pretty much a clone of the NES game. You
run around in your sandcrawler, and find levels. There is also a part with
the Millinieum Falcon. You will meet some acquaintences from the movie on
your way. Your weapons are a beam gun, and eventually, a lightsaber.

The game's engine reminded me a lot of Mega Man. If you enjoyed Mega Man, or
you are a big fan of the Star Wars trilogy, you will definetely have fun with
this game. They have enough adventure elements, and elements from the movie
thrown in to keep things interesting.

Liked: Must have for fans. A fun game that puts up a fight with Mega Man and
Metroid in the adventure section.

Hated: A tough game. Novice players will get confused.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Graphics are pretty nice. Luke Skywalker looks like
he's wearing some real baggy pants. Also, a cool looking intro scene that is
remiscent to the movie. The graphics are just as up to par as Mega Man in all
ways. The frames of animation for the characters and enemies are good.

Liked: Nice graphics that look similar to the movie.

Hated: Not a lot of difference between the levels. Needs more detail.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: The songs were cool, but some felt out of place. The
theme song in the intro was average. Needed more sound FX.

Liked: Good Intro. Cool songs.

Hated: Songs felt weird, and some were repetitive. More FX.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: I thought Play Control was great. Jumping and stuff
was easier than Mega Man, even. The vehicle control sometimes felt kind of
weird and un-natural, but for the most part, control was smooth and solid.

Liked: Nice control!

Hated: Controlling the vehicles.

****************************************************************************

Improve: More interesting surroundings.

RIYL: Metroid II, Mega Man.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: If you've seen the movie (thus meaning that you like the movie),
go get this game! It's worthy. If you've never seen the movie, shame on you!
Go get the movie on tape, and then get the game.

GAME STRATEGY

In the Jawa Sandcrawler, on the second level you will find yourself on a big
jump. On the ledge go all the way to the right. Then Face forward,  press and
hold B and go forward and press A as soon as you reach the end  of the
platform. You should make it.

In the Sandcrawler when you get to the second level and the big jump, let
Luke stand on the left small platform's very right edge. Press B and run. As
soon as you have reached the other end press A and jump. You should reach the
other edge.

To find Ben Kenobi, when you're at the end of the cave in the top right of
the Tatooine Desert, go get the power ball and run and jump left, keep doing
it until you find Ben. When you find him you will get the lightsaber. The 
lightsaber is useless until the garbage part.

In the Millennium Falcon, while on your way to the death star, stay in the
lower right hand corner to dodge all meteors.

On Tatooine, in the landspeeder, go to the far left of themap. There you will
find the Catinia, from there you can find Han.

On the first cave on the Tatooine desert, the one that you have to go in. The
easiest way to beat it is to run and jump through the level until you get to
the small rocks. Then you just jump until you get to the end.

An easy way to get past the asteroid field is to point the nose of the
millennium falcon as far down as you can. After a while you will be out of
the field.

On the level in which you find Ben Kenobi, in the top-right of the Tatooine
desert, you can find two lives. Instead of dropping of a platform into
another platform, which is situated on a wall, jump, and you should find a
secret passage where you should find two lives. Also, you can find a life in
a cave on the bottom right of the Tatooine desert. Also, before going to the
exit, keep on going left, where you'll find two shields.
