Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is a 1984 arcade game by Atari, Inc. and the follow-up to the first Star Wars arcade game. The game uses raster graphics, rather than vector graphics which were used for the first and third Atari arcade games based on the Star Wars franchise. Home ports were released by Domark Software for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Commodore 64, and Amiga in 1988.
Gameplay
The player takes control of three different vehicles in stages based upon the Return of the Jedi film. Gameplay is from a 3/4 isometrically projected perspective and is broken into several stages. In the first stage, the player pilots a speeder bike to the Ewok village. The next stage involves piloting the Millennium Falcon to destroy a reactor. Another speeder bike stage follows. The final stage involves piloting both an AT-ST and the Millennium Falcon in rapid succession in a fight against a star destroyer.
