People who live in the overlapping sweet spot of that Venn diagram graphing Star Wars and video game fans have been counting the days until the Nov. 17 release of EA’s upcoming Star Wars Battlefront.

Why all the eager anticipation for yet another Star Wars title, a game line that is far from sparse and has more than its share of disappointments? The Battlefront reboot not only hopes to reclaim the spark of some of the franchise’s best games, as well as capture the excitement, look, and appeal of the original trilogy with planetary settings and storylines from those films.

More fuel was added to the hype fire this week thanks to a trailer—posted by Reddit user FreakyMrCaleb in the Gamer News community—for downloadable expansion pack set on Jakku, the desert landscape with the crashed Star Destroyer sticking out of it from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailers.

But the gameplay Battlefront is promising—creating an experience that feels like you’re actually a part of the classic Star Wars films—isn’t unique. These five classic Star Wars arcade and console games accomplished that same feat with far less computer processing power.

1. Destroy the Death Star (Star Wars Arcade, 1993)

Sega’s cabinet game wasn’t the first Star Wars video game to replicate the Death Star attacks in A New Hope or Return of the Jedi. But it was the first one that made you feel like you were behind the controls of an X-wing with its sharp-looking cockpit displays that included transmissions from Admiral Ackbar. Plus, you could play with a friend—one player piloting and the other manning weapons—as you took out TIE fighters and a Super Star Destroyer before destroying the Empire’s fully armed and operational battle station.

2. Fight for the Empire (TIE Fighter, 1994)

Only in a video game is fighting on the side of space fascists cool. This spinoff of the X-Wing flight simulator/combat game line put you in the cockpit of an Imperial fighter for a variety of missions. And yes, it made you feel a bit dirty when you realized how good it felt blasting Rebel pilots into the void.

3. Fly the Falcon (Rogue Squadron, 1998)

Rogue Squadron was the GoldenEye of Star Wars games: It was the Nintendo title that even non-gamers like your parents and your perpetually-between-jobs Uncle Roy would play with you, too. While the regular gameplay was incredibly satisfying, the unlockable features are what gave fans multiple nerdgasms. Different cheat codes let players access a variety of other vehicles, including a T-16 Skyhopper, a Naboo starfighter, and the crown jewel of them all, the Millennium Falcon. Sure, running missions as Wedge Antilles was fun. But flying the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy as Han Solo—or Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Nien Nunb, or any other character a player could envision behind the controls—was the bantha’s pajamas.

4. Live Like a Rebel (Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, 1999)

Not only did this arcade game combine all the key story points from the original trilogy into a single, streamlined experience, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade also combined a variety of gameplay action: flight simulation/combat, first-person shooter, and even an awkward lightsaber function that allowed you to defend yourself against Boba Fett …

… or stiffly fight the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Even though it incorporated familiar elements from past titles—the Death Star looms large in this sit-down game—the nice thing about Trilogy was that it mixed everything a Star Wars fan loves about the original films into an immersive, interactive experience that let you feel like you were an active and vital member of the Rebel Alliance.

5. Be a Foot Soldier on Hoth (Battlefront, 2004)

One of the truly harrowing parts of The Empire Strikes Back is the Imperial invasion of Hoth. There’s a dread that hangs over those scenes as you wait for the eventual and inevitable defeat of the Rebels by Snowtroopers and AT-ATs. The original Star Wars: Battlefront (note the colon in the title of this version of the game) does a remarkable job of re-creating that same feeling. Unless you wanted to play as a soldier for the aforementioned space fascists. Then you got to feel what it was like to be the party responsible for doling out all that dread.
