This term refers to a digital copy of the software that powered the classic arcade game, “Star Wars Trilogy.” The original arcade machine, released by Sega, featured gameplay based on the original trilogy of films and utilized advanced graphics for its time. A ROM, in this context, is a file containing all the data from the game’s original memory chips, allowing it to be emulated on other platforms.
The availability of such files permits enthusiasts to experience the game without requiring access to the original arcade hardware. This preservation method contributes to the historical record of video games and provides a way for new generations to appreciate classic gaming experiences. The act of emulating these games can also extend the lifespan of the software, safeguarding it against the obsolescence of dedicated arcade cabinets.
