Video game

The Jedi Knight series of video games introduced the characters Kyle Katarn, a Jedi Master, and his apprentice, Jaden Korr. A video game can be defined as any interactive game software played on a video game console, or any computer game where the primary feedback mechanism 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 a character within the game, often utilizing guns and other weapons. Titles such as Star Wars: Dark Forces and its sequels, in addition to Star Wars: Republic Commando, fall into this category. See Category:First-person shooters for more examples. - Flight simulators place the player in the cockpit of an air- or spacecraft, challenging them to navigate against enemies or obstacles. The X-wing and TIE Fighter series, the Rogue Squadron series, the Starfighter series, and Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed all qualify as flight simulator games. - Real-time strategy (RTS) games typically involve players commanding multiple units from an overhead perspective, often without directly engaging in combat themselves. Examples of RTS games include titles like Star Wars: Rebellion, Star Wars: Force Commander, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars: Empire at War. - Role-playing games (RPGs) allow players to view their character from a third-person perspective and make 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, bearing some resemblance to tabletop roleplaying games. - Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are online games where many players interact with each other through their chosen characters. These games often feature diverse settings and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to enhance the sense of realism. Titles such as Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, and Star Wars: The Old Republic are MMORPGs. ## Star Wars Games Listed by Release Date ### 1980s #### 1982 - The first Star Wars video game was Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
