The Return of the Jedi completes the Trilogy of games basesd on the STAR WARS films. Each one is a conversion of the Arcade game and Return of the Jedi picks up the action of the movie where the rebel forces begin their attack against the Imperial Death Star.
In the first level you control Princess Leia on her Speederbike through the forest of Endor to safety of the Ewok village. You leave Leia there and go to another part of the forest to control Chewbacca's Scout Walker. There, Han Solo is waiting to deactivate the shields protecting the Death Star.
On the second and third levels, you control Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian as he flies the Millennium Falcon. Lando flies close to the Death Star fighting off a mighty attack from the T.I.E. fighters. The Millennium Falcon enters the Death Star and travels down a dangerous tube towards the central reactor. Blast the reactor and then turnaround to get away from the Death Star as it blows up. — Cassette cover
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is a 1984 Atari arcade game, and the follow-up to the first Star Wars arcade game. The game utilizes raster graphics, rather than vector graphics, which were used for the first and third Atari arcade games based on the Star Wars franchise.
The game was also released for various home computers in the late 80's by Software company Domark Ltd. Ports of the game included the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Atari St & Commodore 64 and Amiga.
Gameplay
The player takes control of three different vehicles in stages based upon the original film. Gameplay is from a 3/4 isometrically projected perspective, as pioneered in Sega's earlier Zaxxon. Play is broken into several stages. In the first stage, the player pilots a speeder bike to the Ewok village. The next stage involves piloting the Millennium Falcon to destroy a reactor. Another speeder bike stage follows. The final stage involves piloting both an AT-ST and the Millennium Falcon in rapid succession in a fight against a star destroyer.
