Star Wars Arcade for the Sega Genesis (aka Mega Drive) 32x add-on is a home console port of Sega's Star Wars Arcade. The graphics and gameplay are better than Atari's arcade Star Wars games from a decade earlier, but there were better games to play on other consoles from the same time.
The game doesn't even know what battle it wants to present. The opening crawl says it's an adaptation of Episode IV (A New Hope), but then gives the player orders from Admiral Ackbar. The Arcade mode ends with blowing up the Second Death Star from Return of the Jedi, then shows the award ceremony from ANH, only to show Obi-Wan and Yoda's Force Ghosts from ROTJ as a post-credits scene.
The "enhanced" 32x mode blows up the First Death Star, but I didn't play that mode until the end, so I don't know what the credits look like in that mode. (I assume it's the same for both.) I have no desire to play the same game again but with additional repeated levels. Either way the game is fun, but doesn't offer anything compelling enough to warrant multiple playthroughs for me.

Beating Every Star Wars Game Ever (BESWGE) is a "Let's Play" series with the goal of beating every Star Wars game.
The rules:
- Games are beaten in release order. If a game has an updated re-release that doesn't change the core experience it may be played as a substitution of the original release. (Examples: X-Wing/TIE Fighter CD releases, Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga, Dark Forces Remastered, Bounty Hunter PC Release)
- Games released on multiple platforms will be played with the "definitive" version. Additional releases may be played by request or if I feel like it. (Ex: PS2/Wii version of The Force Unleashed,)
- Other "game" material, such as board games, may be covered in the future; there are no plans anytime soon. I might also do fan games in the future.
- If a game is unplayable for any reason (like being lost media or having server shutdowns) then I have to accept that. I will do my best to include as many as possible.
