[edit] Yoke input

The article states the following.

The controls consist of a yoke control (similar to a steering wheel) with several buttons, all which fired the fighter's laser.

Isn't the input more like a positional gun than a steering wheel? It's been so long since I've played one of these that I'm not sure. - ApolloCreed 02:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Updated Version

On 2006/10/6 I played an arcade game at InPlay in Peoria, IL, that was an updated version of this classic arcade game. The initial levels were the same as described here (how I remember them from childhood), only with modern color graphics (i.e. textures instead of merely lines). The arcade game had also been expanded to incorporate duels with Bobba Fett and Vader, as well as flying through fields of Hoth and riding a speeder through the forests of Endor. It also had sections that were FPS-style, going though hallways killing storm troopers. Anyway, this might be old news, but it was a lot of fun. Sclaughl 18:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
