If we're talking old "skool", I used to love the Atari version of Empire Strikes Back. You were a snowspeeder, which was basically just a rectangle, and you kept passing the same legless AT-AT over and over again, and you'd have to fire at the blinking parts, which were "weaknesses" in the armor. So basic, but so awesome at the time.

The ROTJ arcade game was great too. You sat down in it and you were Luke on a speeder bike trying to evade Biker Scouts and Ewok traps. And if you passed that level you went on to be the Falcon dodging rafters in the Death Star II's superstructure. I can still hear the intro with Han saying "Parts and technical group, forest moon." And Vader saying "Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself."

Anybody else remember those? Or am I a 25-year-old geezer?
