Not that long time ago I had the pleasure to play "Attack on the Death Star" on an emulator. It's a very old game released on Japanese computers, not even Wikipedia has an entry, so I added one here:

The early vector graphics look exactly like the special effects from the movie! Just compare the pre-Death Star run briefing.

BTW, this website lists over a hundred of Star Wars games, dating back to 1982: http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/star-wars-universe

I remember finding that game about 10 years ago when I was heavily involved with the now defunct "The Emulator Strikes Back" website but the emulator for it back then was nearly impossible to get working. It sounds like it may be worth re-visit...

 

Does anyone have any tips on getting Rogue Squadron to work on Windows 7? I have found fixes for V1.3 but my copies are V1.0 and V1.01.

Alternatively, can anyone offer what to look for in buying the V1.3 version?
