Video game

The Jedi Knight series of video games introduced both Kyle Katarn, a Jedi Master, and his Padawan, Jaden Korr. A video game is defined as any interactive game software, computer game, or game played on a video game console where the primary feedback mechanism is a video display. ## Video Game Genres - First-person shooter (FPS) games are computer or video games in which the player experiences the game from the perspective of a character within the game. These games commonly involve firearms and other forms of weaponry. Star Wars: Dark Forces and its sequels are examples of FPS games, as is Star Wars: Republic Commando. For more examples, see Category:First-person shooters. - Flight simulators place the player in the role of a pilot, controlling an air- or spacecraft against enemies or obstacles. Examples include the X-wing and TIE Fighter series, the Rogue Squadron series, the Starfighter series, and Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed. - Real-time strategy (RTS) games are typically computer games where players observe and manage multiple characters from an overhead viewpoint. In RTS games, players generally command groups of characters without directly participating in combat. Star Wars: Rebellion, 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 computer or video games where the player sees the character from a third-person view and makes decisions that influence the game's narrative. Examples of RPGs include Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. They share similarities with tabletop roleplaying games. - Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are online games where a large number of players control characters and interact with one another. These games often feature diverse environments and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to enhance realism. Examples 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 - The first Star Wars video game was Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
