Game Boy

Star Wars is one of the most recognisable film licences on the original Game Boy, turning the 1977 film into a side-scrolling action game.

The US release lets you play through key scenes as Luke Skywalker, from Tatooine to the Death Star. Published by Capcom and developed by NMS Software, it gave the monochrome Game Boy a proper Star Wars action title rather than a stripped-down spin-off. The collection also holds the Limited Run re-release and the UK Star Wars console bundle.
