Description

9060. Rarity 7 very rare. North America NTSC. 1 player or 2 players alternating.
Very similar the 2600 version. Fly the Millennium Falcon in the last great battle of the Rebellion against the Empire. You exit hyperspace into a narrow corridor between the imperial fleet and the Death Star's shield. Try not to get blasted by individual imperial vessels who make attack runs at you. And of course, don't get blasted by the Death Star primary weapon. If you live long enough, the Death Star shield will drop. But smaller holes will periodically pop up before then and you can pass through them if your quick and precise. You'll have to blast away sections of the Death Star interior in order to clear a path to the core. Leave quickly when the core is about to explode. If you succeed, it turns out the Empire has an unlimited supply of Death Stars and fleets that are even faster and all await your attacks. Not only that, you will fall for the same trap each time you attack one.

Easter eggs/Bugs:
The select button will pause the game. Moving the joystick will start it again.
If you have no extra lives left and are 200 points (or less) away from an extra life and you die while the Death Star is exploding, you will gain and extra life but the game will end.
