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:
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“Phlegmatic natures can be inspired to enthusiasm only by being made into fanatics.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
