A simple Zaxxon clone. But still good at it! Nothing more (well, it's SW ). Except, Ewok's are lame, and here they are very much the same...

Very poor scrolling. Fun for a go until your walker gets killed by water drops (?) every single time.

Played this a lot thanks to Rampage magazine giving it away. It wasn't a classic like Star Wars or Empire before it but it I'm glad they tried something different.

Weakest of the 3 film tie-ins for me. I didn't like the change from 3D vector graphics to D-scrolling. The whole game just feels like some cheap Zaxxon knock off. Very poor and for the Amiga it won't work with expanded memory which is a pain.

Dull 3/10

Alright as far as movie tie-ins go. I liked that the game isn't too difficult and allows for a sense of accomplishment when you escape to the Ewok village (Speederbike sequence), destroy the Empire's communications bunker (AT-AT sequence) and, finally, blow up the second Death Star's reactor (Millennium Falcon sequence).

Me and my brother spent a lot of time on this one in our very early Amiga days (1988, that's it). Finally, he was able to complete it, and we never ever loaded it again. Much like its vectorial predecessors, ROTJ sports the endless repetition of the same three levels with increasing difficulty. This one, however, can get extremely frustrating, especially in the Millennium Falcon sequence, where the whole play is reduced to learning by heart the position of each beam cannon and trap death after death. All in all, nothing too special about it.

Film sucked more than the game, Arcade version still the best.

I loved this one. I was young and I did not understand why this game had three times the same levels. Now, some years later I understand why

I thought this game sucked even during my most intense Star Wars period.

Why do these movie title copyrights games suck in general ?
Not the worst I've played, but so much more fun they could made out of the Amiga !

Did a small child draw the ewoks, R2 and C3P0 at the end of the Endor level? Ok, it was playable for a while but the arcade game was quite dull anyway.

A pretty weak conversion of a pretty weak coin-op.

Apart from that horrid, broad status-console on the right border, I prefer the amiga-version to the original arcade game. The characters are bigger, the colours are brighter and there even are more sound effects than in the coin-op. I also feel it is more playable on the Amiga, especially the speeder bike chase (level 1).

nevertheless, Trantor certainly is right about ROTJ being "harmless". The four sections only differ in terms of visual design from each other, gameplay remains the same throughout. It has never been a grand classic, but Domark's ROTJ is challenging, good fun all around.

it is quite motivating to try to get yet another bonus, and the lovely, chunky graphics are strangely attractive. The music is a neat, twangy reproduction of john williams' score. I think it was david whittaker who adapted it for 16bit.

Best way to describe this game is: Mostly Harmless. Not horridly bad, but not really all that great. Again, the original arcade game preceded this release by quite a while and that didn't help it.
