Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Death Star Battle

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Death Star Battle is a game produced by Parker Brothers and released for the Atari 2600 in 1983, and for the Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit home computers and ZX Spectrum in 1984. The object of the game is to pilot the Millennium Falcon and destroy the second Death Star, but you also have to defend yourself from TIE interceptors. This game can be found online for free and unlimited plays.
The cover art was designed by the renowned sci-fi artist John Berkey, who designed some of the earliest poster art for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope in 1976.
==Publisher's summary==
Just when you thought the DEATH STAR had been reduced to dust—it's making a comeback! Piece by piece, the Empire's reconstructing the ultimate space station. Its completion would mean unthinkable power for the Imperial forces!
The DEATH STAR must be destroyed... once and for all!
==Development==
Early materials from Parker Brothers initially referred to the game as Star Wars: Revenge of the Jedi: Game II, and then Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Game II. The ultimately canceled Ewok Adventure game was Game I. Some early materials feature placeholder artwork featuring the battle at the sarlaac pit instead of the film's space battle.
A version for Intellivision was at one point slated for October 1983 but was never released.
