Publisher's Description
STARWARS is a BASIC-language computer game of war with a twist: the player may actively participate by playing the game against the computer, or, alternately, the player may function as an uninvolved observer as the "on-board computers" battle against one another, that is, the computer will play against itself.

The game is played in the scenario of the film STARWARS: the players are the characters of the film, the time and place is "long ago in a galaxy far away." The human player assumes the role of Han Solo, mercenary captain of the Millennium Falcon. The computer assumes the role of Darth Vadar, Chief Bad Buy. The Millennium Falcon must reach a goal - Yavin-4 - before the evil force personified by Darth Vadar can destroy it and its occupants. The fate of the entire galaxy hinges on the successful completion of this mission.
