Star Wars: 10 Best Starfighter Games You Need To Play

Arcade was originally designed for (naturally) arcades in 1993. It was later ported to the Sega 32X as a launch title for that peripheral.

For its time the graphics were excellent and the home translation showed off what the 32X could do as a new piece of gaming equipment. The game was fairly simple, with three levels: you hunted TIE fighters, attacked a Super Star Destroyer, and did the Death Star run. You could fly an X-wing or Y-wing and the game offered first and third-person viewpoints.

The unique piece about this game was that in two player co-op mode a second player could be the gunner while the primary player kept the starfighter you were piloting going where it needed to go. To that point, no other Star Wars game had let you team up with a partner to actually make you feel like you were part of a group attack and not just a lonely Rebel flying around on your own.
