В 1977 году вышел фильм «Звездные войны», который тогда так и назывался — Star Wars. Да, без всяких там эпизодов и прочих подзаголовков. Первая же официальная игра по франшизе появилась лишь спустя пять лет, в 1982-м. А что было до нее? А до нее, как мои постоянные читатели должны уже знать, были десятки неофициальных проектов.

Hey, Scribe here! Thank you and Sightsaber for the kind words!
About NYCPSW, it was not my playthrought, by Mike's. I had the same issue as you did, the game was too irresponsive to be played. Note that I did not discover its existence: someone ("Vedder") had added it back to Mobygames in 2020, though clearly he did not play it. This prompted Porkbelly to check his personal collection (!) of the Ohio Scientific Small Systems Journal and post it (for the first time I think on Internet), which then triggered LanHawk to type it. Teamwork, folks!
Good catch on Star Wars Rescue and the Versatile 1 version - and good luck finding the latter.
"и пусть прикосновение было не особо приятным, руку я мыть какое-то время всё же не буду." => I'll keep that one for my own blog :).
Finally:
"... I will follow your career with great interest!"
Thanks for your comment!
It was truly a pleasure to find your blog and read about the first SW games. It's so great that even after almost 50 years there are enthusiasts like you, Porkbelly and LanHawk who are interested in such little-known things and help each other. This is really awesome!
Scribe, glad to see you here!
What you wrote only confirms that more and more people are interested in the history of video games from their inception, as well as those who are interested in this previously little-known part of the Star Wars fandom. And who was the first and who was the second is not so important. The important is that there are more and more of us, we help each other, and thanks to this there are more and more technical opportunities to play old games (although those times are further away).
