Re: Star Wars Arcade port for the Apple II?

Well it might have been quite bad. I do not seem to remember any
advertisement for it in any of the usual apple magazines.

 I remember playing some kind of Star Wars arcade game. But it was bad.
At least I thought so.
Seems like it was over in 10 seconds. Maybe a little to hard for me.
Maybe it was a demo, but there was no indication of it.  Seemed like
all you did was shoot Tye Fighters and got points for it. Color and
sound but the graphics were bad. Probably still have it.

Take Care
