About the game
A Star Wars based game in which you command a squadron of three X-wing fighters and try to drop your proton torpedoes down the ventilation shaft of the Death Star before it can destroy Yavin IV. A spinner dictates movement and determines the results of the battles. Darth Vader can pop up to cause trouble, but watch for the Millennium Falcon coming to the rescue! This is one of two games released by Kenner almost concurrently with the original Star Wars movie (Star Wars: Escape from Death Star Game is the other). Though named the same as Star Wars: Destroy Death Star Game, these are much different games.
