First part you try to shoot recon droids on the surface of "Thoth" 
(sp?) to prevent Vader from finding you. Second you attack imperial
walkers and ack-ack "tanks" with lasers and tow cables. Fourth, you
fight off tie fighters like the first version, and lastly you navigate
an asteroid belt. Still looking for one with the sound turned up so
that I can hear what they are saying.

Simpler, with a lot fewer moves than Karate Master.

Finally go the stats on this one, it is called Vertigo and is put out by 
Exidy. The play is somewhat simplistic, along the lines of time pilot,
where you shoot x number of "enemies" and then go for the mother ship.
Basically, the only thing going for it is the fact that it moves in 
three axes of tilt. But that is quite enough to make it interesting.
There is one in the Galactican II arcade on the corner of Stelling
and Homestead in Sunnyvale CA, if you are local to the S.F. bay area
you could check it out.
