Somewhat unsurprisingly, the Super Star Wars Trilogy of games nearly made their way onto PC back in the mid-1990’s:-

The blurb: ‘A PC port of Super Star Wars was in the works since 1994, by Danish game company Brain Bug and produced by Softgold. The game was almost completed, and was well into the playtesting phase, but in 1995 LucasArts decided to halt the development and cancel the release.’
