Return of the Jedi (arcade game)

Canon Linked from 38 articles

The Return of the Jedi debuted in video arcades in 1984. Levels in the game are set during the Battle of Endor. Digitized voices of various actors' lines from the film play at certain moments in the game. During the recording of the player's records on the high score screen, the Ewok Celebration song will play in the background.

The game was later ported to home platforms including Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum. It also appeared in the Arcade mode of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, like the other two Arcade games Star Wars: The Arcade Game and The Empire Strikes Back. Unlike those two, however, it can't be unlocked by regular means, and requires a two-part passcode to unlock. The passcode is "!?ATH!RD GAME?YES".
