Other Games Inspired By Star Wars

The classic science fiction role-playing game Traveller was released in the summer of 1977, very close to the release of the original Star Wars movie. As a consequence, some of the original designers have remarked that for them the game and the movie were very similar, despite the fact that Traveller is generally considered to have a more Golden Age Sci-Fi feel to it. Traveller received legal copyright threats due to the fact that Traveller Supplement 4: Citizens of the Imperium included game statistics for Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in it as sample characters.

Famous quotes containing the words games and/or inspired:

    As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
    Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
    Before their plays and games were organized,
    They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
    And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The inspired scribbler always has the gift for gossip in our common usage ... he or she can always inspire the commonplace with an uncommon flavor, and transform trivialities by some original grace or sympathy or humor or affection.
    Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
