The game replicates the final battle in ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars: A New Hope]]'' in that you pilot an X-Wing Fighter to the Death Star in order to fire the torpedo that goes into the reactor core and destroys the battlestation. Opposing your approach are a squadron of TIE Fighters, bunkers and towers on the surface, and laser cannons firing shots at you in the trench run that leads to the exhaust port you need to fire into.

The game is notable in its use of color vector graphics and its digitized speech replicating famous lines from the movie. It was followed in the arcades by ''Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi'' (which used an isometric diagonal-scrolling perspective similar to ''VideoGame/{{Zaxxon}}'') and ''Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back''.
