The Jedi Knight series of video games introduced us to Jedi Master Kyle Katarn along with his apprentice, Jaden Korr. A video game is defined as any interactive gaming software, any game played on a video-game console, or any computer game where the primary feedback is a video display. ## Video Game Genres - First-person shooter (FPS) games are computer or video games where the player experiences the game from the perspective of the character in the game. These games commonly involve guns and other weapons used in combat. Star Wars: Dark Forces and its follow-ups are FPS games, as is Star Wars: Republic Commando. For more examples, see Category:First-person shooters. - Flight simulators are games designed to simulate the experience of piloting an aircraft or spacecraft, often against opponents or through challenging environments. Examples include the X-wing and TIE Fighter franchises, the Rogue Squadron franchise, the Starfighter franchise, and Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed. - Real-time strategy (RTS) games typically involve players commanding multiple characters from an overhead view, usually on a computer. In RTS games, players typically lead groups of characters without directly engaging in combat themselves. Titles like Star Wars: Rebellion, Star Wars: Force Commander, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars: Empire at War fall into this category. - Role-playing games (RPGs) are computer or video games in which the player controls a character from a third-person perspective, making choices that influence the game's narrative. 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 games where many players interact with each other through their characters on a large scale. These games often include diverse settings and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to create a more immersive experience. Examples are Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. ## List of Star Wars Games by Release Date ### 1980s #### 1982 - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the first Star Wars video game, was developed by Parker Brothers and launched in 1982 for the Atari 2600 and Intellivision consoles.
