question, i got this ST game today thats label only says Star Wars... is this it?

[bazfanv2]

@CollectorJimmy Its likely to be just Star wars, which uses vektor graphics like ESB, just slightly different gameplay. The original Star wars was better than ESB. You get to blow up the Death Star over and over again.

Is this here a homebrew port?

[bazfanv2]

@lutzdify Hi. This is actually a commercial release.

[lutzdify]

@bazfanv2 Thanks. Was this version on cartridge or floppy disk?

[bazfanv2]

@lutzdify I dont recall any games being released on cartridge for the Atari ST range of computers. I do remember sound samplers and digitizers being on cart. This game is definatly floppy disc, however the game here is being emulated under Saint, recorded using fraps.

@bazfanv2 i detect a hint of sarcasm? is blowing up the death star a lot a good or a bad thing? i dont know yet cuz im not getting my atari computer for another week or 2 (my friends dad gave me some games for it and will soon give me the actual computer)
