The game itself is truly excellent with it's smooth controls, nice graphics, faithful soundtrack and storyline to the at least 90% of the first Star Wars episode. If it wasn't for the extreme difficulty (doesn't mean the difficulty is a bad thing but this game could go pretty far sometimes.) I would say it's a decent game and worth it for your NES library. Recommended.

Star Wars was released in 1991 by JVC for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Master System, Game Boy and Sega Game Gear. The object of the game is much closer to the storyline of A New Hope, where the user (playing Luke) has to pilot a landspeeder around Tatooine, collect R2-D2 from the Sandcrawler, Obi-Wan Kenobi from a cave, and Han Solo from the Mos Eisley bar, while fighting stormtroopers, sand people, and many other different enemy characters from the movies. After assembling all the characters, the user navigates the Millennium Falcon (in a first-person perspective) through an asteroid field to the Death Star (shields for the Millennium Falcon to withstand the asteroid field must also be collected in the Tatooine levels). Once arriving at the Death Star, the user is required to destroy the tractor beam generator, rescue Princess Leia from the detention block, then proceed to destroy the Death Star with the rebel fighters. The Sega Game Gear has a few exclusive levels. The first level is of Leia delivering the stolen plans to R2-D2. The speeder over world is replaced with three side scrolling levels through the desert for Luke to travel through on foot. Each character has different attributes. Han Solo and Leia can also be used to replace Luke in game play, but unlike Luke who has numerous lives, Han and Leia only have one life each. Obi-Wan Kenobi can resurrect Han Solo or Princess Leia five times, you're even required to kill, and then resurrect them in the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System versions, so that you may earn your last 10% completion points, in order to see the ending. R2-D2 can display a map of Death Star hallways. C-3PO can provide information on the current part of the game. Darth Vader makes his only appearance on the Game Over screen. Strangely, Chewbacca does not make any appearance, but is mentioned in passing a few times. It is noted in the instruction manual that Chewie flies the Millennium Falcon if Han Solo dies. Enemies include: Jawas Banthas Sandpeople Flying Insectoids Womp Rats Giant Slugs Bounty Hunters Boba Fett Imperial Stormtroopers Various DroidsRead full review

It's rare to find a great Star Wars product in fine condition, especially a Nintendo game with all the manuals and advertisement inserts in the box. An original Star Wars game for the Nintendo NES, although its graphics are not that of its successor Super Star Wars for the Super Nintendo, it still provides a fun and exciting game play for an 8 bit system a definite buy for any video game or Star Wars fan!
