Star Wars Vintage Video Games

So video games aren't exactly vintage, I bet you're thinking. Okay, so forget the PC-based games, your Xboxes, Playstation, and related, and you're still left with a ton of games beginning in the 1980's.

The original Star Wars (episode IV) game was actually the second video game released, and it came out shortly after the Empire Strikes Back (episode V) was released. Empire Strikes Back was released in 1982 for the Atari 2600 and the Intellivision. In 1983, Star Wars was released on just about every console in existence at the time, thanks to the popularity of the previous year's release. It was available in the 80's on the Atari 2600, Colecovision, Apple, Commodore 64, you name it. The full-size arcade game was available as well.

Star Wars Video Games

Because I'm a huge video game freak, allow me to break the vintage theme for some of the non-vintage video games. This really includes anything from 1990 on. Even though early 80's doesn't technically define the vintage era, the early 80's is the time when Atari, Intellivision, and Coleco all released consoles, so it's as vintage as console video games get.

Since the 1990's the Star Wars franchise has seen tons of games in all kinds of genres:

• Traditional action/adventure video games (All of the movie title games)
• Role playing video games (Knights of the Old Republic)
• First and third-person shooters (Dark Forces, Jedi Outcast, Battlefront)
• Flight simulators (like StarFighter and Jedi StarFighter)
• Strategy games (Empire at War)
• Multiplayer online games (the Star Wars Galaxies series for Windows)

Though not a genre, there were also several Star Wars Lego games released beginning in 2005 for the newer game consoles like Xbox, PS3, and Gamecube.
