Just after high school (2014) I read about the one of the oldest Star Wars video games on starwars.com, and it mentioned an unlicensed Apple II game. Can’t find the article now, but I ended up finding the game on the Internet Archive. You may be interested in the feature set:
Ship stuck on space station.- Time limit.
- May rescue prisoners.
- Must sabotage a tractor beam to escape.
- No graphics, just text commands.
- Color coded corridors
Per the listing the game is called Star Wars, copyright 1979 Donald Brown (later of Eamon fame). You can play it online here:
That’s an Apple //e emulator, however since the source code is BASIC and dated 1979 it was probably written for the original Apple ][.
If you die, type “RUN” to start over.
I made a high score of 142.
