Video game


Jedi Academy PC

The Jedi Knight series, a collection of video games, gave us Kyle Katarn, a Jedi Master, and his Padawan, Jaden Korr. The term "video game" encompasses any interactive game software, or computer game, where a video display serves as the main method of feedback, and is typically played on a video game console. ## Game genres - First-person shooter (FPS) games are a type of video or computer game where the player views the game world through the eyes of their character. These games commonly involve firearms and other weapons. Star Wars: Dark Forces, along with its sequels, falls into the FPS category, as does Star Wars: Republic Commando. More examples can be found in Category:First-person shooters. - Flight simulators are a genre of game that place the user in the pilot's seat of an aircraft or spacecraft, challenging them to navigate against opponents or through obstacles. The X-wing and TIE Fighter series, the Rogue Squadron series, the Starfighter series, and Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed all exemplify flight simulators. - Real-time strategy (RTS) games, typically found on computers, present players with a top-down perspective of multiple characters. In these games, players typically direct groups of units without directly engaging in combat themselves. Star Wars: Rebellion](/article/star_wars:rebellion(video_game)), Star Wars: Force Commander, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars: Empire at War are all examples of RTS games. - Role-playing games (RPGs) are video or computer games where the player observes their character from a third-person viewpoint and makes decisions 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 prime examples of RPGs. They share similarities with tabletop roleplaying games. - Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are online games that allow players to embody characters and engage with one another on a large scale. These games often feature diverse environments and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to enhance the sense of realism. Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided](/article/star_wars_galaxies), Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, and Star Wars: The Old Republic are all examples of MMORPGs. ## List of Star Wars games in order of publication ### 1980s #### 1982 - The first Star Wars video game was Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
