Star Wars: The Arcade Game 12/15/83

 

There's not a lot of difference between this prototype and the one from 12/5/83, but there have been some additions.  The colors have been tweaked a bit (the shields are now red), but the trench and fireball placeholders are now an odd shade of green.  The lasers have been changed to look like actual lasers now instead of alternating lines.  The player can now also move the targeting cursor around (although it moves way too fast).  The shield counter will slowly count down and reset to eight once it reaches zero.  It's also worth noting that the guns are shaped differently (more square) than they are in the final. 

The movement controls are not inverted in this prototype (up is up and down is down), this would be reverted back in the next prototype (12/23/83).


Mmm... Green...

 

Those squares are placeholders for the fireballs

 


I've lost R2!

 

Here's a screenshot from the final version
