==Ports== The game was ported first by [[Parker Brothers]] in 1983 and 1984 to numerous 8-bit consoles and computers. These include the [[Atari 2600]], [[Atari 5200]], the [[Atari 8-bit family]], [[ColecoVision]] and [[Commodore 64]]. It was designed for the arcade by Mike Hally. The home console version for the ColecoVision was designed by [[Wendell Brown]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} The same game was ported again, in 1987 and 1988, utilizing more advanced graphics and sound capabilities of 16-bit systems of the era. Versions appeared for the [[Amiga]], [[Atari ST]], [[Amstrad CPC]], [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Acorn Electron]], [[BBC Micro]] and [[Enterprise 64]]; the game was also ported again for the [[Atari 8-bit family]] and [[Commodore 64]]. All ports were developed by UK-based [[Vektor Grafix]] (the Atari 8-bit version by [[Zeppelin Games]] being an exception) and were published in Europe by [[Domark]]. That same year [[Brøderbund]] acquired the rights to develop Star Wars games from Lucasfilm. Brøderbund published the [[Apple II]], [[Apple Macintosh]], [[Commodore 64]] and [[MS-DOS]] versions of the arcade game in [[North America]] in 1988. Amiga and Atari ST versions are very similar to the arcade original. They allow the ability to use mouse control and feature digitized sound effects. The Macintosh version contains sampled speech from the films, but has no in-game music other than a monophonic theme during the "attract" mode. This game, along with ''[[Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back]'' and ''[[Star Wars: Return of the Jedi]]'', was also included as an unlockable extra in the [[GameCube]] game ''[[Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike]]''. In the United States and some European countries, customers could get the GameCube version of this game for free when they pre-ordered ''[[Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike]]''. A fan-based remake of this game which is similar in gameplay was released on the [[Vectrex]] in 1999 by John Dondzila called "Star Fire Spirits" as part of his "[[Vecmania]]" cartridge set.
