'Star Wars 1977' The Video Game

Remember the old Atari Arcade 'Star Wars' shooter from the 80's? Well, 'Star Wars' fan Shawn-Todd O'Malley is creating his own Star Wars video game, based on the old airplane shooter style video games.

'Star Wars 1977' is 24 levels of simple, fun game play - complete with power-ups and boss battles, Star wars props, space and planet landscapes, and a pre-episode IV story line - and is virtually complete. It only lacks some original artwork for the back drops and in a few months, after extensive game testing, he hopes to release the full game, FREE, to who ever wants to play.
