Video game

The Jedi Knight series of games introduced the characters Kyle Katarn, a Jedi Master, and his apprentice, Jaden Korr. The term "video game" refers to any interactive game software played on a console, or any computer game that primarily uses a video display for feedback. ## Video Game Genres - First-person shooter (FPS) games, found on video game consoles or computers, place the player directly into the perspective of a character within the game. These games commonly involve firearms and other weapons used in combat. Star Wars: Dark Forces and its sequels exemplify this genre, alongside Star Wars: Republic Commando. For more examples, see Category:First-person shooters. - Flight simulators immerse players in the experience of piloting aircraft or spacecraft, often against opponents or through challenging environments. Games like the X-wing and TIE Fighter series, the Rogue Squadron series, the Starfighter series, and Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed all fall into this category. - Real-time strategy (RTS) games, typically computer-based, present players with a top-down view to manage multiple characters. Players in RTS games usually direct groups of units without engaging in direct combat themselves. Examples include Star Wars: Rebellion, Star Wars: Force Commander, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars: Empire at War. - Role-playing games (RPGs), available on video game consoles and computers, allow players to view their character from a third-person perspective and influence the game's narrative through their choices. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords are examples of RPGs. They share similarities with tabletop roleplaying games. - Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are online environments where players embody characters and interact extensively with one another. These games often feature diverse settings and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to enhance realism. Examples of MMORPGs include Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. ## Star Wars Games Listed by Release Date ### 1980s #### 1982 - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the inaugural Star Wars video game, was created by Parker Brothers.
