What are your favorite retro Star Wars games, anons?
>>12234281https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ls8Gd5mNh01993,, Virtua Star Wars. by Sega. Arcade version with two players. It had rail shooter sections and also NON rail shooter sections.
>>12234281>The Empire Strikes Back (Atari 2600 1982-the first Star Wars video game)>Star Wars (arcade 1983)>Return of the Jedi (1984)>Shadows of the Empire (N64)>Rebel Assault I and II (PC;et al 1993)>Star Wars Arcade 32x (arcade and SEGA CD 1994)>Rogue Squadron (N64)>Rebel Strike (Gamecube)>Star Wars Trilogy (arcade 1998)Almost didn't include the original Empire game, but it was fun in 1982. Now? It's fun for a few minutes. But all of the above are all the Star Wars game I feel I need, but there's some prequel games too, but I felt that needs a separate list.
*SEGA 32x not CD for Star Wars Arcade
>>12234291Threre's also some edge case shit on SNES, and the desktop dagoba shit.
>>12234290That evolution of the trench run via video game technology is something else when you consider that the later video games had greater tech than what was originally at George Lucas's disposal.
>>12234302Yeah the SNES games can in no way be considered my favorites because they're too cheap to be fun, same with the NES ones. What a shame, but I try to play them now and then anyway because they are still kinda cool.Why no Jedi game for NES anyway?
>>12234303It's so iconic, and so familiar to every programmer. I am sure it defined rail shooters as we know them.
>>12234312It had to have defined rail shooters because outside of an actual WWII flick, there was nothing else that could so easily be lent to a video game. It's also practically a miracle that the technology for video games matured enough to even offer vector graphics running that fast in 1983. Imagine if that exact game was available in 1977. There'd probably be stories today of all the "dead Star Wars fools" who died an masse in arcades from over-excitement.
Jedi Knight trilogy.It seems like license is only able to produce amazing games. Have any of you ever played a legitimately terrible Star Wars game?
>>12234361>Have any of you ever played a legitimately terrible Star Wars game?Fuck yes. Most Star Wars games are weak. I can name just over a dozen and then I gotta consider scraping the barrel. What's a half-bake one that could have been great...? Ah yes, The Battle for Naboo for the N64.But the worst has to be Flight of the Falcon for the GBA. They were smoking something bad, ese. You can't do anything in the game because the CPU can't handle it, so it crawls. Has anyone ever beat it legit?
>>12234281>>12234281The first two Lego games are still some of the most faithful movie adaptations. The Namco Famicom game is pretty good as well. Speaking of Star Wars games. How do you bind the controls for the Atari arcade game? It runs perfectly but it's impossible to move the cursor fast on a controller.
>>12234281It's the only one I played but I loved Jedi Power Battles on PS1, never beat it though the platforming was hard as hell and even some of the combat encountersMy friends didn't like it at the time so I only played alone, but the few times they played the first or second level with me it was very fun
>>12234385>How do you bind the controls for the Atari arcade game? It runs perfectly but it's impossible to move the cursor fast on a controller.If you want the actual best answer because you just want to play the game, you should get a Gamecube or the Dolphin emulator and run Rebel Strike which contains the game as an unlockable. That version is perfect. Screw MAME.
>>12234389Thank you Anon. Not a deal breaker but is empire strikes back on there too?
>>12234390Yes it is along with RotJ as well. You gotta earn 'em, but they're not too hard to get. Those are nothing compared to some of the platinum metals,May the Force be with you, Anon.
ctrl-f TIE Fighterdie console shitters
>MAME lists Star Wars Arcade as "working">play through it>always crashes during the endingWell then it's not FUCKING WORKING IS IT?!There are hardware captures on youtube though. https://www.youtube.com/@segamodelking2307/search?query=star%20wars
>>12234281These might just be my favorite games in general
>>12234281Age of Star Wars II
>>12234281>dark forces/jedi knight series>rogue squadron>pod racer>battlefront 1 + 2>KotOR 1 + 2>that one twisted metal ripoff one for gaycube that was set during the clone wars same team as battlefront iircim glad i was never that big a star wars fan. i just liked the games because they were some of the only consistently good licensed games back then.but man, has it been some bleak decades since. shit games, shit movies, shit everything.
>>12234624The sprite work in these games was off the charts
X-Wing and TIE-Fighter
I'm a Kotor/Jedi knight pleb but I loved super star wars even though I never got past the sandcrawler, and episode 1 on psx (played the demo probs 20 times)
Do I suck or is this hard?
>>12234751Both, it's unforgiving and you need to stay on task during the mission
>>12234390There is a perfect copy of Star wars the arcade game, the empire strikes back and return of the jedi. You can also unlock them with a cheat code
>>12234361On GBA I have. But even panned things like masters of Tera Kasi was a game I played enough to unlock all the bonus characters
>>12234751Every game becomes hard when the player is constantly being desoriented by so much framerate fluctuations, stuttering, repetitive sounds, perspective changes, blurry textures and fog... Sensory deprivation simulator.Btw, N64 games are nauseating
>>12234791>zoomie tryhard couldn't beat rougue squadronLol what a dumb faggot
>>12234795Yeah, I played the playable GC version. The same game, but playable.
Absolute kino passing through. Good luck finding a working cab though. The most common problem is busted solenoids which give the lens flare a sickly blue color.
>>12234803>I beat a different gameLol, lmao really
>>12234361>Have any of you ever played a legitimately terrible Star Wars game?No, but I haven't played that many.>Star Wars Arcade game (cockpit version) (1983)>Empire Strikes Back Arcade (1985)>Star Wars NES (1991)>X-Wing (1993)>TIE-Fighter (1994)>SNES Super Star Wars trilogy>X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter>Shadows of the Empire (N64)>X-Wing Alliance>Star Wars: Rebellion (strategy game)>Rogue Squadron (N64)This might be the most number of games where I've played a substantial amount, but never beaten any of them (except the strategy game I guess but that doesn't really count). I did get all the way to this mission in the original X-Wing, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewf9x-BEBBQCould never get past it.
>>12234624>>12234643I never got around to trying those games. I love Zero's gameplay in X4,5 & 6 so I think i'd enjoy the lightsaber gameplay. Funny I never knew those snes Star Wars games existed for a long time, no one I knew owned them, and none of the rental shops here had them.
>>12234981They are difficult unforgiving games, but if you're looking for lightsaber Play start with ROTJ which is by far the easiest to play and to get into
Bump
>>12234963This is like level 3 in super star wars and it legitimately has the most difficult platforming in the whole game
this on Jedi Mode might be the hardest PS1 game
>>12236026>when on jedi difficulty >hardest ps1 gameNo, there is another
bump to counter sega spammer faggot
>>12236454BattlefrontOr KOTOR
>>12236026No, lolAs a kid I finished it multiple times
Most Star Wars games were good, my favorites back in the day were:Super Star WarsSuper Return of the JediJedi KnightKotorNever really got into Dark Forces, should probably give that one a go, as I imagine I'd like it.
>>12234361Star Wars Droids for the C64 is an absolute bottom tier game by any standard.
>>12234281Tier Fighter and Trilogy Arcade
Someone make a list of ALL sw games.

I liked Republic Commando
Dark Foces, Shadows of the Empire, Jedi KnightThe real trilogy
>>12236746>no super star warsFail
>>12236746I can understand forgetting that Jedi Academy exists if you've only played the single player, but JK2 should be in there.
>>12237078It's obviously ai delusions
>>12236508You beat it on Easy Mode
>>12236746f AI l
>>12237151>It's obviously ai delusionsThis. The other day it told me I could knock out King Hippo with a star-you cannot do that not even in the hacks.
The Phantom Menace is pretty good. It has a lot of different weapons and RPG elements.>I won't help a murderer like you>I won't help a murderer like you>I won't help a murderer like you
>>12234281I lean towards the X-wing and Tie Fighter games. The KOTOR and Battlefront games are pretty good too. The Star Wars games pretty much prove some great games can be derived from other media such as movies.
>>12237637I'd take the super star wars series because I owned it, probably would feel different if I was gaming on PC during the mid nineties, based collection btw
>>12234369>>12234385>legitimately terrible Star Wars gamemasters of teras kasibattle for Nabooforce commanderrebel assault 2every non-/vr/ sw game
>>12237637Lucasarts made a lot of them in-house and when they did license, they typically licensed them out to competent 3rd parties
>>12237662Lucasarts from inception until the mid-2000s did good work, and I can only think of a few absolute bombs. Like everything else Star Wars, it lost steam hard after the prequels ended; the output of SW games really declined hard. Last retro sw game I remember caring about was empire at war, and even that wasn’t incredible. However, it’s a classic compared to any of the newer trash.
>>12237654>battle for NabooWhat's wrong with it?
>>12237637At the time, back when Star Wars was still cool, and you were a kid, piloting your X-Wing or Tie Fighter along the belly of a huge ship while the turbolasers go off all around you... it was kino. The fact that these games just kept getting better over time was awesome too.
>>12236764The bot got the years wrong. Original star wars arcade was 83. Empire strkes back is 1985, and was rare as fuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z76t3HMqR1g
>>12238408>Empire strkes back is 1985, and was rare as fuck.Yeah I never saw that in the wild ever. Pretty good game, but I prefer the original. I think I would have loved it equally if operators in my area ever bothered to do conversions, but apparently they said nah.
>>12238161>>battle for Naboo>What's wrong with it?What if they made Rogue Squadron, but had bad hit detection, a far worse camera, and worse graphics?
>>12237654>rebel assault 2Whatchoo say?Explain yourself.
>>12238424They probably didn't see any value in an upgrade since the star wars cab was always in high demand
>>12238429Picrel felt like the sequel to rebel strike, or maybe if you could combine it with battle for naboo since it's ground based combat
>>12238443I should get that. I love Rebel Strike and it's my preferred way to play the arcade originals.Does that have any good bonus stuff in it? Looks good irradisregardless.
>>12238434That makes sense because when it was 50 cents for a long while I hardly flinched. That has to be the first video game that ever nailed a movie adaption. Sure there may have been previous games based on movies, but that has to be the queen mother of all movie-to-video-games success stories and paved the way for Goldeneye.
>>12238448I don't think I spent more than 10$ for my copy. If you like the ground stuff in rebel strike then I'd recommend it. It's bonus stuff is levels and characters, not arcade bonuses but unlockables akin to rogue squadron 1&2
>>12238525Sounds more than acceptable to me.longingextendedlookatyourpostthencapesaway.gif
>>12237653I had yet to watch the movies at the time I played X-wing, later to find the first one to be poorly acted despite its media appeal, but after watching the other two films found those games to be great companion pieces to the films. Originally I "borrowed" X-wing from a friend, but I got those expansions, so I suppose owning the games does color my fondness to the games more. The included Lucasarts newsletter and demo disc of Tie Fighter did hype me up for that release.>>12237662They are a quality developer of a lot of games I liked, mostly in the point & click adventure genre which I trusted. However, in this torrent there are some duds with the Star Wars franchise on PC.>>12238389I started with Wing Commander 2, which helps give that space battle aura around the whole flight sim genre to me. The movies seemed overhyped in their day, but they were cool special effects showcases which translates well to a video game medium.
>>12238668X-wing felt far and away more advanced than Wing Commander, I played 'em all back in the day. I had a pretty beefy machine in the '93-95 era, a 486DX266 eventually, with 16MB RAM, Trident SVGA (8900 IIRC), CD-ROM and the works. Wish I still had that machine. Not quite Pentium fast but it was good enough for most all the games in that era.It ran the X-Wing games like a champ for sure.
>>12234281Star Wars Galaxies ( Pre-CU and CU. NOT NGE)
>>12234628intensely beautiful.
>>12238668>I had yet to watch the movies at the time I played X-wingYeah I was watching the star wars movies on repeat with my mom by the time I was 6 or 7. My mom picked up super empire for me for Christmas when I was about 9 and I remember watching commercials for super return of the jedi before it's release and it's the first game release I remember comprehending. >Originally I "borrowed" X-wing from a friend, but I got those expansions, so I suppose owning the games does color my fondness to the games more. I'm 100% nostalgia clouded when it comes to the super star wars series. The mode 7 level of hoth is probably the most mind blown I've ever been by a video game
>>12238668>find the first one to be poorly acted despite its media appealGeorge Lucas had a real talent for getting terrible performances out of good actors, and then putting those takes in the final movies. Empire is a lot better because he let somebody else do it.
>>12238876It was corny but it didn't matter, the movies were basically a slightly more grown up version of Goonies in their way. Indiana Jones is the same thing. Corny goofy afventure movies. It's the kind of movie they would struggle to make these days because they've lost their sense of childlike joy and wonder. Whoever they are.
>>12239363>it didn't matterAgreed on that count, I love the original trilogy, warts and all.
>>12239363It's at its most corny during the early scenes on Tatooine, where Luke is a smalltown all-American boy from the 1950s, and he says his famous line: "But I was going into Tosche station to pick up some power convertors!" Hamill's performance improves as the film progresses, and I think the corniness has mostly disappeared by the time they get to the cantina.
>>12239459He says that line perfectly. He was a teenager.
One of my favorite RTS's foe the space combat, absolutely hated the ground combat and usually simulated it. Moving around the map with the Death Star and the executor was always satisfying, as was donkey dicking the Executor with a fleet of b wings when playing as the rebels
>>12239971yeah, he's literally a whiny 19 year old who realizes he's old enough to do shit on his own but also realizes he has little opportunity to actually escape his dreadful situation
>>12239995Yup. You can hear the frustration in his voice for pretty much everything he says until he meets Ben. Owen failed him.
>>12240004eh yes and no. based on the ending of ep 3, owen and beru married young and their whole life was living a sparse existence doing moisture farming. were they planning to have kids? maybe. is it possible they accepted the forced situation of getting luke as a reasonable substitute for having kids of their own? maybe. is it possible owen secretly resented luke and the entire situation as the years went on? also maybe.
>>12240070Maybe Owen and Beru couldn't have kids? I got the impression that they did love him dearly, but that Owen was already too old to keep up with his son.Fixed: Also, I think they had every reason to believe that Luke was just going to get murdered badly if they didn't keep him on a tight leash, so it was a tricky situation.
>>12240102>I think they had every reason to believe that Luke was just going to get murdered badly if they didn't keep him on a tight leashtrue. doing it for his own good. but at the same time because they didn't explain anything to him, that just makes a rebellious teenager want to get out even more.
>>12240127Luke isn't really rebellious, he's dutiful but has an eye towards the stars. He doesn't really become a rebel until he finds the corpses of Owen and veru.
>>12240127A tale as old as time.
>>12240132^this is a different anon replying to you btw. (for some reason I felt the need to specify) Since it's online it's not really butting in, but...
>>12240138^this is an autist who thinks he's on reddit
>>12240167No one brought that site up but you. Rent free....look into that.I just sometimes want the anon I was chatting with to understand that my reply was a specific reply. If you got a problem with that, oh well.
>>12240182I brought up reddit because you think the source of the information outweighs the point being made because you are a weird autist who thinks this is reddit and anyone cares who is making the statement

>>12240191NTA but no one cares about who is saying what here because it's an anonymous image board and you come off as a redditor
>>12240198Anon, you're trolling in every thread you're in. My Protip for you is to fuck off.

>>12240197I've got to do it anon. I've been playing vanilla for like 20 years, same shit with Dawn of war soulstorm. I see the mods put there but I'm just lazy or afraid my toaster laptop will get bricked by them>my laptop works well since every game I play is 15 years old but it makes my think twice about installing mods
>>12240205If I was trolling I wouldn't be sincerely calling you a redditor and if you were a mod you'd know I'm only trolling in like 1/3rd of the threads I'm in.
>>12240226Never said I was a mod, but thanks for confirming you're a worthless troll.Honestly, I am sorry about your shitty life. I hope it improves (if you deserve it) and that you can look back and see what a worthless excuse for a human being you are by going onto a retro video game board and attempting to make random strangers feel bad. That is what you're trying to do.Go to /x/ and be edgy there. Thanks.
>>12240220You'll see a bit of slowdown when there's a lot of shit going on especially with some of the new units but it's not that bad, try it and see how you like it.
>>12240242Calling you a redditor because you're acting like a convo on this thread is a super secret sidebar isn't trolling you autist lol
>>12240247Will do anon, I've seen some vids on it and the multitude of factions is crazy to me
>>12240264No one said anything was secret, teenager, now go away. You're bad news.
>>12240269Lol seethe for me
>>12240268Pick whoever you think is the coolest honestly. I played as the Empire of the Hand at first and I didn't regret it, it was a challenging and fun. It's even better now since there's been a ton of updates so you're getting into the best current version of the mod.
>>12234292that port is fucking unplayable with its garbage frame rate. Just makes me more upset that the arcade version crashes during the ending
>>12240308>Just makes me more upset that the arcade version crashes during the endingI had great fun with my 32x and SW Arcade, but the crashing ending, do you mean just the emulated arcade ending, or the arcade ending actually crashes?
>>12240319It’s listed as working on MAME but crashes right after you shoot the core.
>>12240308Still waiting for a 32x romhack that will makes the game easier because it's unbeatable.
>>12240324The MAME devs seem to have lost their minds sometime around 2010. I suggest to look for an older build because I'm sure it'll work just fine.
>>12240325>it's unbeatable.I owned the real game and it's very beatable, but you do need to git gud.I can still hear Admiral Ackbar.>STORM DA SUPER STAR DESTROYER AND DESTROY ITS MAIN ENGINE

>>12240443>>12240447I like masters of teras kami. Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome since I sunk so many hours into unlocking vader, but in couch play it was a good time
>>12240498You're right, they're not very good. They're excellent. I suggest you play some Ninja Gaiden (NES) and Punch Out (NES) to heighten your reaction times.Better yet, start with Atari 2600 games.
>>12240503>Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome since I sunk so many hours into unlocking vaderI can understand that. I salute ya.

>>12238876>Empire is a lot better because he let somebody else do it.It was a lot more than just that.Lucas poured his heart and soul into Empire Strikes Back. It was his chance to become independent of Hollywood.ESB also had a really good cinematographer. The shot composition is consistently above ANH and ROTJ.

>>12240350>>12240341I only played it in Japan, and I am sure that I heard chatter and Japanese C3p0Nothing game critical. All of that was in english. And if you remotely know the movies you can figure out everything anyways.
>>12238434You could have both and set it so pressing certain buttons for a time would switch them.
>>12241108>anon accidentally discovers the real Polybius
>>12241112I don't know about Polybius. But I knew that the ESB board wasn't set for freeplay. And that purists don't wanna hear what happened to that particular cabinet when the owner of that venue sold it.
>>12241115>And that purists don't wanna hear what happened to that particular cabinet when the owner of that venue sold it.Sure I do. I've heard much worse. What you've got to say won't even scratch my deflector shields.
>>12241125Allright. So the cabinet was sold due to the screen misbehaving (expensive to fix, even if you just convert a normal 25 inch to CRT) and taking lots of space in what was a then growing arcade bar in Quebec City. So the owner sold it. He later learned that, because the one he sold him to came back to him for help, that all the wood had been sanded when it was essentially in a very good state.
>>12241131>He later learned that, because the one he sold him to came back to him for help, that all the wood had been sanded when it was essentially in a very good state.Oh well. Wanna hear worse? How about me telling a tech NOT TO THROW AWAY my Jr. Pac-Man monitor if he can't fix it. I specifcally asked him not to get rid of it and to just give it back regardless. ...So of course when I call him up he says that he couldn't fix it so he BROKE THE NECK and tossed it out. Worst case scenario, he made up that story and stole my monitor, best case, he broke the monitor that I possibly could have had someone else fix.He acted like I was asking about a used gum wrapped.BOOMER TECHS-not even once.

>>12242064It's a playstyle that doesn't really exist anymore. You aren't meant to dick around, the levels aren't sandboxes, they have strict guidelines and time limits, so if you're more used to modern gaming It's not an easy game to get into. I had gold medals on all missions since RS was one of the 2 N64 games I'd get a year during childhood. As an adult I bought the GC sequels after years of playing battlefront and the like and I really had to buckle down to beat the levels. It's unlikely your controller, more likely just unease with the way RS makes you play and you aren't alone. It's an antiquated style of game that you'll have to ease yourself into
>>12242143>10th deathYeah anon, that's how the game was designed especially in the later levels. It's meant to be replayed over and over until you have a perfect run. The best part is when eventually you complete it but you took 30 seconds longer or shot 3% less accurate than required to medal.
>>12241151>revenge of the sithIs /vr/, so it’s fine according what I said.>force unleashedNot /vr/, see the sticky.>on ps2Sure let’s play the shitty port of the ps3 version lol. It seems you are in fact the mongoloid here *aristocratic chuckle*
I had a yoda game on a floppy disk that randomly generated levels. So it was like infinite games
>>12240608they had a couple of smaller versions of it, but the one i played way back was the big one. My theater had an arcade section and they brought this monster in it was the first thign you'd see when you enter the arcade. As a kid in that huge seat you really felt like Anakin with those huge controls and the sound effect blasting and moving the handles up and down to control the podracer. It was an unforgettable experience. I wish I got to play it more it. I know i can emulate it, which si cool, but i wish i could play the big arcade version again.
>>12238675Better than what I had at the time which was a 386DX-40. I'm still amazed at the progress I was able to achieve in the games with a keyboard more suited to typing than gaming, with its clicky space invaders switches. However, the games are much smoother to control with a flight stick. Admittedly, to progress just a bit further due to the high difficulty, the strategy guides written in the perspective like a pilot during those missions were of assistance.>>12238720Mode 7 was impressive to me too. I liked the solution of expanding the pixels creating the illusion of depth, which attracted me to Wing Commander 2. I remember seeing the SNES Star Wars games at Blockbuster Video, but like always all the SNES games are rented out leaving only Genesis games. Played the first one at a friend's place, and it felt more slippy than Contra. They reviewed well in magazines, but I was kind of nonplussed about them.>>12238876Without even knowing the behind-the-scenes information, I did feel that drastic improvement from the first film to the second. In my young naivety, I just figured the first was experimental while the next one was refined due to the experience of the first.
>>12242653>Played the first one at a friend's place, and it felt more slippy than Contra. They reviewed well in magazines, but I was kind of nonplussed about themWhich did you play? To me that describes super star wars but empire is hard as shit as well but is helped by the double jump. They are high skill floor games that you really need to play a bunch to progress. Just playing it occasionally wouldn't be a good way to get into them because they are games of constant bombardment
Super Star Wars trilogy were some of my favorites on SNES. I remember the secret area on Hoth where you can fall down and get a bunch of extra lives and a Sabre. The cheat code for infinite Thermal Detonators and manipulating the title crawl and Star-Destroyer in the intro. I still have this copy of Nintendo Power laying around somewhere as well.
>>12242530Yoda Stories. They also had an indiana jones verison.
Anyone has the Steam version of Shadows of the Empire? Are the mouse controls as bad as some reviews claim?
>>12242841I think ROTJ is probably the best of the 3 but empire is my favorite. It's a perfect winter game
>>12242498The port is actually better than the 7th gen version. The PSP version is the real winner. It has a vs mode that you play online with three or four people. It has a horde mode where you have to survive against the clones during Order 66 for as long as possible and it has Heroic Battles, essentially reenactments of famous battles across the Star Wars mythos that you can partake in. The PSP version has the most content out of all the other versions.
>>12238720>>12242653Mode 7 in general in most games wasn't that impressive to me. Making something really big and pixelated was just...ugly. Super Star Wars, though, did really interesting things with it. It really looks like a texture mapped ground in many stages, very cool stuff. It still looks really cool.
I'm playing pic related right now.>>12234361Yoda Stories on Game Boy Color.
>>12234281Dark Forces 2 is my all time favorite Star Wars game and Star Wars Bounty Hunter is good too
>>12245985That's an RTS right? How is it?
>>12246240>bounty hunter>goodNo>>12246701Galactic battlegrounds is pretty fun. Even though it’s pretty much a Star Wars skin of AoE2, the devs clearly put a lot of effort into it. Some of the big mech units can be a little janky, but generally it’s a good rts adaptation of Star Wars, and I would play again. Republic is op once you get the double cloning tech, though. However, I think Rebellion (1998) is a more enjoyable game by far.
>>12234751You suck, I beat this game at nine years old Rogue Squadron where’s our cover?!
>>12247073I've beaten now actually. Sullust was hell though.I think I'll wait for Steam sales to buy the PC version do attempt the Gold medals because the aiming is probably a lot better with a mouse
>>12247073>t. 0 gold/silver medals
>>12247109I got silver/gold on about half of them, show us your medals if they’re so much better
>>12247073It's easier to beat a game like rougue squadron when you're 9 than when you're 35 ... depending on your neet status
>>12247038Thanks man I'm gonna give it a shot
>>12234751It gets pretty hard in some of the later levels. If I hear "beep beep" at a specific tone, it still gives me ptsd flashbacks.
Episode I Racer
>>12240443damn, never knew that existed, that's awesome as hell. i'd love to put that shit in my house and not warn people before they come over.My favorite retro star wars games:- Episode 1 Racer is probably my overall favorite- Rogue Squadron on N64 is also good, but I don't think it aged as well as Episode 1 RacerI need to go back and play the star wars SNES games, they were hard as hell as a kid but I remember them looking pretty cool.
>>12246701It's fun as fuck. Fans have kept it alive with a pretty robust expansion mod, but I'm fine with playing the original.
>>12234281Rogue Squadron, or as my dad used to call it "Rogue Wagon"
>>12248073I got back into it with the mod the other day. Relearning the game is a little tough but the Empire has never let me down
>>12247038Bounty hunter is good you probably got filtered
>>12242498Its a different game than the ps3 version you pseud faggot. Different levels, different combat, different enemies.
>>12248075cute
>>12243925>Yoda StoriesVery underrated game. Very simple but fun.>>12248386No, it’s a great concept that got translated into buggy jank. I’ve played it, the controls are retarded.>>12248623Still not /vr/
