Star Wars for C64 by Domark/Vektor Grafx, loaded from tape
The framerate is low, sure, but it's acutally really playable - I assume because the controls are NOT slowed down by the frame rate, so you can move the cross hairs smoothly even though the game does not run that smoothly in the background.
I hate inverted y-axis controls on this sort of game, though I intellectually understand that's how the original was, and so that's how this should be. I'm quite sure there existed a versiojn without inverted controls, though - but this tape clearly has them, and I can't see any option to change it!
There might be one, though - I don't have the manual. Still, a surprisingly solid port!
