That's actually the second C64 version, released by Domark. There was an earlier cartridge version by Parker brothers, which played faster, but wasn't as accurate. The fireballs just looked like bunches of dots.
The 32x isn't really the same game. I think the ZX Spectrum is the best port to a home system. Unfortunately I don't own one, yet. So, in my collection I would say the Colecovision is my favorite port. But for the closest to the real thing I play Star Wars on MAME with an XBOX 360 controller. Good comparison video. This was my ultimate favorite game to play in the arcade when I was a kid.
the 32x version is a port of different star wars arcade game than the atari vector arcade game. it is based on a sega star wars arcade game that used flat shaded polygons
this is different to the C64 version on another review- this on eis MUCH better
