Super Star Wars

DOS - 1995

Also available on: Genesis

This is the never-released PC version of a console side-scrolling platform game from LucasArts. The game follows the plot of the first Star Wars very closely-- as Luke Skywalker, you must fight your way from the sand dunes of Tatooine to becoming an X-Wing pilot and participate in the attack on the Empire's Death Star. German licensee SoftGold developed the PC version on their own and tried to convince LucasArts to release it. LucasArts declined, sensing (quite correctly) that the game would not do well on a PC. A good game, but pales in comparison to Rebel Assault, its de facto replacement. [thanks to Boris S. for the info]

How to Play

DOS

The development of MS-DOS port of Super Star Wars game was almost finished but the release was cancelled at the last moment, for unknown reason. The game has all content and can be completed for 100%, but some minor issues remained, such as high difficulty, the inability to save the progress on levels, and a few small bugs

Genesis

The SEGA Genesis port of Super Star Wars was based on the SNES version. Development lasted only a few months before being canceled, so the game is not finished: there's no cutscenes, and some of the stages are just placeholder screens with text. In January, 2020 the prototype of the game from January, 25, 1993 has been leaked. You can read more about the SEGA Genesis port here and on Hidden Palace website
