This bizarre platformer isn't strictly a Star Wars game. Still, it stars a worker who has to churn out toy Stormtroopers, which means it makes the cut.

NIGHT SHIFT

Year: 1990

A cash-in that reused the base code of Chessmaster 3000. At least the battle scenes are amusingly brutal.

STAR WARS CHESS

Year: 1993

This cult curio has Luke exploring randomized maps. Part of LucasArts' Desktop Adventure series, we love the chibi character designs.

STAR WARS: YODA STORIES

Year: 1997

Diplomacy! Espionage! Exploration! With strangely compelling strategic battles, this 4X proves to be an effective Star Wars story generator.

STAR WARS REBELLION

Year: 1998

This cooky bot builder lets you construct droids from dozens of parts. Want to make a dancing C-3PO? Go for it.

STAR WARS: DROIDWORKS

Year: 1998

STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE GUNGAN FRONTIER

Year: 1999

A clumsy, retro-fitted N64 game that sees you blasting Trade Federation fighters.

STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE BATTLE FOR NABOO

Year: 2000

Shoot a Rancor where the sun don't shine in this strange yet charming vehicle combat game.

STAR WARS: DEMOLITION

Year: 2000
