This game was my claim to fame back in the '80s...I completed the whole game with a score of over 1 million several times on a single 10 pence piece...the arcade owner asked me to leave as I wasn't spending enough money and I had a crowd around the machine while I was playing it 🤣...we lived in a seaside resort and the arcade owners used to put up signs saying "No locals allowed" 😮 Don't think they'd get away with that now 😡
I still remember the "wait for me!" lol. This arcade game had a great steering wheel that you used, with two thumb triggers. And I don't give a damn who doesn't like the voices, that was great for the time.
I remember being in arcades in the 80s and playing a video game adjacent to this one. while it was in "standby" mode, it would suddenly start playing the EWOK CELEBRATION that you hear at 20:30. (aka "Yub Nub" by John Williams) gave me the chills every time! Sounds great synthesized like this
There wouldn't be an Amiga version if it wasn't for the arcade version that it was converted from. Also, the Amiga version gives credit to the "coin-op" version when you load it up.
Weird that you have to destroy the DS multiple times to see some of the other segments, like actually destroying the shield generator with Han! Guess in this game the empire had multiple death stars.
PLAYED THIS CONSTANTLY IN BLACKPOOL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, GOT TOP SCORE EVERY TIME, AND A WEE VIDEO SHOP IN GLASGOW HAD THE ARCADE, WON EVERY GAME TOP SCORER!!!
Although an interesting arcade game in itself, it seemed to have been overshadowed by the Indiana Jones arcade games and it's older brother Star Wars: The Arcade Game.
Game with sound starts @0.44. I was a bit of a twat when I was a little kid and used to steal money of my parents to go play this in Huddersfield in an arcade at the side of a gun shop down the bottom of town.,
1:22. I found out that 3PO's *supposed* to be saying, "We are now a part of the tribe", but because of the voice clarity, the enunciation on the "r" isn't very good, so to me, it sounds like he's saying "tibe".
There were thumb triggers that would turn the AT-ST's head left and right but you didn't seem to need them - This game was really hard - the controls and feel were absolutely horrendous.
So I'm wondering anyone out there is a expert in the game and can answer a question -- several sites when talking about this game, such as KLOV, mention the game DOES have a ending, if you finish Wave 8, with Yoda giving you a message and a symbol next to your name on the high score table. Can anyone confirm or deny?
It's true... if you finish level 8, the game is cleared and you get a 100.000 point Jedi Knight Bonus. I've seen a couple vids on YT with an all-clear of ROTJ.
Man I remember spending a lot of time around 1987at the local Pamida playing this. I know I made it to at least the level shown here because I remember the additional challenges - wish I could remember what my highest score was.
Alright team we have to land on Endor, destroy the shield generator and then get into the Death Star and destroy the reactor...not necessarily in that order ...I know it’s a 4 year old post but hey lol
Used to regularly clock this game over a million .. there is a cheat/hack/bug on the speeder bike section , u would push the yoke hard forward and right before luke gets on the speeder , then once the bike moved you'd snap the yoke back and right and the speeder would go into the grass verge on the right and avoid all the trees and obstacles .. not sure its possible to do on mame as I've tried and couldn't do it
It works, but with a different method from what you described. I saw a video where the guy goes in big circular motions and eventually the speeder goes out of bounds. Then it's Jumping *Peppers* time.
@@happycamper90596 On Mame I used it for save state practice. I just did the achievement set on retroarcade with the FBNeo Core and was also able to replicate it on that. I will say Playing the game on Mame the movement feels more floaty while on FBNeo it was tighter.
Just bloody hard to control.... The throttle way too sensitive, amd just blind luck to not career into some random tree/ship/upright tube etc... I liked it first time around, but a bit clunky, on reflection.

Lol yet the movie its I see them,wait leia!!!!
The voices remind me of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,arcade cabinet. I loved that game and this. Classic arcade sounds and graphics.
The sound was half of the whole attraction to the game.

1:22 "Wonderful, we are now papa hepatitis"-C-3PO
I can't believe he came out and said that completely unprompted.
Some of those Very Voices were lifted Electronically, by Permission, from The Original Film
Probably the hardest arcade game i can remember
Dragons Lair was Harder ! Used to cost Me 1 pound for 3 goes ! Used to last about 20 seconds! £1 was a lot of money 💰 in the 80’s
Oh yes absolutely, great game too and yes mega difficult.@@lucaschapman2188
@@AlanAttack This is great banter.
OMG, how many Death Stars did the empire build?
Jabba The Hutt's Cousin, Durga The Hutt,had One Built, in one of The Novels
Contracted to and Built by The Hutts,Jabba and Durga,With Lots of Money and Paid, and Slave Labor
The voices all sound like they were recorded underwater. "Buh sheld uhs duwn! Cubense dutabk bon du Debh Srar's bain beractur!"
+TheIdiot dude, you ROCK for transcribing that!!!
Hahaha
Played this on Amiga. Didn't realize there was an Arcade version!

This arcade game is available at cidercade in Austin, Tx as of May 31 2022
Instead of watching the movie RETURN OF THE JEDI, I'll just watch this TH-cam clip about 3x before I go see the new movie. That's all I need!
why does he keep shooting?
PLAYED THIS CONSTANTLY IN BLACKPOOL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, GOT TOP SCORE EVERY TIME, AND A WEE VIDEO SHOP IN GLASGOW HAD THE ARCADE, WON EVERY GAME TOP SCORER!!!
I was very good at this game back in the day.
MAAAAAN I LOVVVVVVED THIS GAME, I PLAYED IT CONSTANTLY IN BLACKPOOL ON THE 80S&90S MAKES ME WISH MY FLAT WAS BIGGER SO I COULD BUY THE ARCADE!!!
All of the voices sound like Stephen Hawking versions of the Star Wars characters! xD
I used to play this with the dexterity of Stephen Hawking

I always remembered it as, "We are now a part of the pack".
MANDELA EFFECT IN FULL... EFFECT.
@@JinzoCrash I think he is saying we are part of the pack.
@@Bowling4986 I'm hearing "pack", well, in this video.
It's not what I heard for years and years back then.
This is a Really Tough Game to Beat

I always played this game when I was a kid. Never could get past level two.
So the game keeps repeating forever until you lose?
Gameshowboy 92 Most arcade games during this period were like that.
No it had 8 levels
The blip in the game where you can stay in the middle and go through the bars when you're in the millennium falcon and not die 🤣
There were thumb triggers that would turn the AT-ST's head left and right but you didn't seem to need them -

This was so good

I GOT TO LEVEL 7 WITH 12 LIVES DIDN'T GET TO LEVEL8
WHY PLAY IMPERIAL MARCH AS THE FALCONS ESCAPING FROM THE DEATH STAR????

So, wait, you destroy the Death Star _before_ shutting down the shield on the moon of Endor?
Ghost81 This is the super-secret Special Edition that George Lucas never approved the release of. It's known as the "Makes No Sense Edition" of ROTJ.
***** It's like a bad dream, it just loops and loops again!
Alright team we have to land on Endor, destroy the shield generator and then get into the Death Star and destroy the reactor...not necessarily in that order ...I know it’s a 4 year old post but hey lol
NO, THATS JUST A TEASER!!;
HOT CHA!
this is crazy! do they really have to start all over again to destroy another death star?
This is One of My Favorite Atari Arcade Games
I Love The Music and The Graphics
You were on level 6 of 8. there is an end and each loop IS different. Try again young Jedi.
took forever to beat amd when i did, it was meh

Great Keyboard and Accordion Music

I Spent a lot of Quarters on This in the Arcade
Looking at this game now, I bet you wish you'd saved them, inflation would have given you a pretty hefty sum
Fuck this game... uff... i get it out of my chest lol
Voice clips are boss
It's kind of underwhelming compared to the previous ones. Excellent sound, though.
Oh my dog
Pro speech!
Well at least they TRIED to mimic the voices. :P
Incredible Game, By Lucasfilm and Atari Games
One of the first games I ever played.. loved it.. on reflection I m not sure why.. a bit meh
Now Lock onto its Frontal Power Source it Should be The Main Generator

Its.... spy hunter... but star wars.
Lol Han Solo sounds like Butthead
It's a trap!
I have a bad feeling about this...
LOL!
This was better on Atari ST.
Flashier, but not even half as good as the original Star Wars arcade game
Do batman dark tomorrow plz😇I love ur vids soooooo muuuuuch
