I had the star wars game for my Atari ST computer. I love it. It was so very fun. *sigh*.

Yeah, there were tons of versions for micro computers and early consoles as well. I remember one based on Empire Strikes back that had blocky AT-ATs walking across the screen and tiny fighter craft that shot pixels at them. 'Fun' indeed.

I loved that Star Wars game back in those days... Same vector graphics as Battlezone, only with color!

Sadly, I came along after these machine were already old school. They were similar to the ones I played on my neighbor's Atari, though.
I remember being amazed at the original Combat, where you were little more than a rectangular blob that shot pixels at another similarly-designed opponent. For the love of God how can I steer and shoot in different directions? And what was with the invisible opponent?

I loved Battlezone. Seem to remember playing it (or some spinoff) on the C64 too. Which, by the way, was a platform that had a lot of pixelated blobs you had to shoot with.

I didn't used to play that much in arcades, although I did have BBC Micro at home. I did one summer though when i was just into my teens play WWF all holiday and got blisters on my fingers!
