What started as an exercise in morbid curiosity is now a full-on HG101 article, as I attempt to play through Namco's 1987 Famicom game Star Wars. I sent the article text to Kurt yesterday, and I believe MP83 already sent in his screenshots and music rips as well, so all that's left is to wait for Kurt to give it his blessing.
The article is a bit of a departure from HG101's usual style, but since there's really only one version of the game, I didn't really see a lot of room for comparisons and nitpicking (except to its source material).

So... has this article been blessed by Kurt? I know the article doesn't cover the whole game, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, because it did motivate me to find the game and play it myself.

I'm not sure what's going on with it - I offered to Kurt to elaborate on the other worlds, but he hasn't said either way if I should go ahead with that or not. I personally think it should be left as is, but it's his website after all...

I actually just picked up the cart of this game this week and I have to say that it's tough as nails but fun.

Duh, here's the topic. Silly me. I thought this was about some old arcade star wars or something like that.

Wow. My feeling that this is like Alex Kidd in Miracle World was just reinforced by seeing the shots of the underwater planet. I've yet to make it that far.

When I saw the pictures, my first tough were: Hey! This looks a lot like Zelda 2! Is it?

And here I thought this was a (parody) thread about Soul Calibur IV...

At first it looks like Zelda 2, but as you play the game it feels more like Alex Kidd or those Wonderboy adventure games.
