from StarWars.com:
Now there’s a new way to enjoy Star Wars: Trench Run, the addictive game that puts you behind the stick of an X-wing fighter during the climactic Battle of Yavin. Infrared5 and Lucasfilm have developed a web-version of the game playable at StarWars.com. You’ll need the Unity game engine to start, which is available free here.
Trench Run includes high altitude dogfights between X-wings and TIEs far above the surface of the Death Star, as well as the famous attack run on the Imperial battle station’s vulnerable exhaust port. Use your keyboard and mouse to fly your fighter and target and blast enemies. The game includes rich 3-D graphics, authentic Lucasfilm sound effects, and the classic John Williams musical score. If the Force is truly with you, maybe you’ll end up ranking on our Leaderboard.

The iTunes Trench Run Game Now Better Than Ever:
Our friends at Infrared5 have also been steadily improving their original Trench Run game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and have listened carefully to user feedback. The most recent version has a number of improvements. As they describe:
“In addition to fixing some irritating bugs in the game, we also listened to what our users were most frustrated with, and have addressed them in the latest release. Calibration was the number one request, and we’ve added it to the latest release. Others mentioned that the cannons were too easy, so we made them harder as well. Even though we didn’t originally intend the game to work on the first gen iPhone, and were really pushing the boundaries with performance in such a fast 3-D game, with the latest release we were able to make the game run flawlessly on 1st gen iPhone, 3G and the first gen iPod touch.”
