Video game

The Jedi Knight series of games, including Kyle Katarn and his apprentice Jaden Korr, introduced the Jedi Master. Any interactive software-based game played on a video game console, or computer game where the primary feedback occurs through a video display, is called a video game. ## Video Game Genres - First-person shooter (FPS) games are computer or video games where the player experiences the game from the perspective of a game character. These games often involve firearms and other weapons used in combat. Star Wars: Dark Forces and its sequels, along with Star Wars: Republic Commando, are all examples of FPS games. For more examples, see Category:First-person shooters. - Flight simulators place the player in the role of a pilot, flying an air- or spacecraft 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 are all considered flight simulators. - Real-time strategy (RTS) games, typically computer-based, present the player with a top-down view of multiple characters. In RTS games, players usually direct groups of characters 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) are computer or video games in which the player controls a character from a third-person viewpoint, making decisions that ultimately 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 numerous players control characters and interact with one another on a large scale. They often include diverse environments and numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to enhance the sense of 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 - 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.
