Star Wars: Jedi Arena
GAME » on July 23, 1983
Star Wars: Jedi Arena is one of the first Star Wars games to ever be released on a video game console. The original release was back in 1983 for the Atari 2600.


Overview

The object of the game was to fire lightning bolts from the training remote at your opponent. The bolts could be blocked with the lightsaber. If the player failed to block, the bolt would hit their shield.

Hitting the shield enough times would make a hole and leave the opponent vulnerable. A hit scored in this manner awarded the attacker a point. Occasionally the remote would go crazy and fire lightning in an erratic manner.

The game used the paddle controls. Believe it or not, this was the first Star Wars video game to feature a lightsaber.

There was also a PLug'N'Play version released before the 2600 port.
