About Super Star Wars Holiday Special

Super Star Wars Holiday Special is a SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis homebrew game that works like an unofficial game from the cult-classic Super Star Wars series that was released originally for the Super Nintendo, but now, loosely based on the outrageous The Star Wars Holiday Special from 1978. 

Super Star Wars Holiday Special was developed for the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis with the Scorpion Engine by earok.


Story

Han Solo and Chewbacca are racing to the Kashyyyk planet to celebrate the Life Day with their family and friends. Unfortunatelly, Imperial Forces intercepted the Millenium Falcon and captured they on the detention block. Leia and C3PO received a help message from they and contacted Luke Skywalker.
You are Luke Skywalker and your mission is to save Han and Chewie from the evil Imperial Forces to finally celebrate the Life Day.

Development

This game was made in only 20 days and started as a joke:
How "The Star Wars Holiday Special" would be adapted as a "Super Star Wars game" , what would be the differences on the plot and how cool would be to make a game in only 20 days to be released at the Christmas holidays!?
It could be much more for sure, but i think for a retro game made in so small time during my free time after job, i think its actually a solid result. LOL

UPDATES:

Version 1.1:

-Improved the fade effects on cutscene transictions. Thanks to Earok!
-Changed one of the cutscene images to match with the plot.
-Improved Boba Fett AI
-Improved Boba Fett's Vertical Blaster Animation
-More little polishments...

Isso em 20 dias? Trabalho incrível! A tela dos caças X-Wing e do Império, fizeram-me imaginar um jogo de nave/tiro, tendo como opções os vários modelos da franquia... Valeu pessoal, é um ótimo presente de Natal.

Eu sempre sonhei com jogos Star Wars pro meu console favorito. Quem sabe no futuro não faça mais alguns...
