Episode 122 - The Star Wars Arcade Game Story

This week Jason and Gabe look at the history of one of the first great Star Wars video games, 1983's Atari Star Wars : The Arcade Game. Made in a time when the arcade market was dwindling and Atari desperately needed a hit, this Star Wars game was one of their only hopes. Take a trip back into the world of vector graphics as Blast Points explores how the awesome game got made and how it helped usher in a new era of Star Wars games all while home video games crumbled around it.
