Of course, the pinnacle of Star Wars gaming achievement is and always will be Yoda Stories for the Game Boy Colour.

Also, when playing as an imp, that stupid noise that the droid made whenever bad poo poo happened was so grating. Yeah but that Imperial protocol droid made up for it. "The forces of the Empire are at your command."  "What do you desire?"

I used rebeledit to make all the imperial ships cost one upkeep point. Then I used a Death Star to destroy the entire Corillian system, and Corsucant with the emperor still on it. He some how made it injured to the death star. I then used the only planet that did not defect to he rebels, Byss, to rebuild my empire. I couldn't win the game though. One of the imperial win conditions was to control Corsucant. I had a lot of time on my hands.

It took me longer than i care to admit to find out how to select multiple characters in Rebellion to send them all on a mission. You wouldn't believe how long a game takes when you're sending individual guys to blow up whole regiments.

It took my forever to figure out how to assign someone as a decoy. I was mad when I figured it out I just had to click another tab The randomization of events and successes in that game made no sense, especially with characters. I once had Wedge blockaded on Mon Calimari. I had all the defenses destroyed and was trying to assassinate him. After my third attempt, I managed to injure him. But I continually failed trying to kill him and he kept taking out my decoy Noghri with him. This was way before I read Wraith Squadron, so I couldn't even say "Yub yub" to amuse myself. Luke deciding to fly off whenever the gently caress he wants was frustrating, along with his magical ability to capture the Emperor no matter what you had going on. And I don't think I've ever managed to successfully complete a full game in multiplayer mode. One of us would always have to leave and good luck ever tracking that guy down again on The Zone WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 02:39 on May 8, 2013 |

Honestly I think the most fun I ever had playing a Star Wars game was Star Wars:Demolition on the PS1. poo poo was goofy and glorious.

I have very fond memories of being 8 and loving the Phantom Menace PC game. 8 year old me was an idiot. Episode I Racer owned bones, though.

I'm pretty sure you could. I'm trying to remember playing it at my neighbor's house in 5th grade and I'm pretty sure he had it. Pressing L on the controller did the flames.

You had to come first in all the races or something like that. I remember being happy as gently caress that I'd unlocked him because I could use the flamethrower, but then switched back to using Ben Quadrinaros, because he was faster. Kind of a let down, really.

Speaking of old Star Wars games, I have the sounds of the Stormtroopers getting shot and the usual stuff they shouted at you in Shadows Of The Empire for the N64 burnt into my memory to this day.

Yeah, this is exactly my experience. "Sweet, I unlocked Sebulba! Flamethrowers, yay!...hmm, he's kind of slow and clunky. Back to Ben Quadrinaros!" (Also, I can't read Ben Quadrinaros without hearing it in the Greg Proops announcer voice in my head.) Such a great game.

You know, I really (truly) loved that game Masters of Teras Kasi and am always saddened it can't be purchased in the play station store so I can play it on my PS3.

On Dark Force Rising now in my audiobook trek through the series. The loving artwork thing is just jarring now. When I was like 10 I thought it was pimp as gently caress though.

Even at 8 years old, I enjoyed killing Gungans. But then they all whipped out thermal detonators. Killjoys. At least, that's how I remember it.

I've been playing through my favorite Star Wars game, and probably one of my favorite computer games ever, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It still holds up well, though I'll never understand why after you finally get your lightsaber and a few force powers, they throw you onto a level that's very wide open with a lot of snipers and make all your new toys useless  It is a great game, though I put in the console command to up the dismemberment value so there's a lot of bad guys that have been quartered  I always liked that Katarn showed up in the EU novels, and I remember some anecdote that one author wanted to kill him off but the character was so popular it wasn't allowed.

I watched "The People vs. George Lucas" on Netflix today with a friend. In some ways it's 10 times worse than "Trekkies" in terms of fanaticism. There was a whole lot of talking heads from Youtube, including some German-speaking guy in a quarry... They spent like 20 minutes talking about the Christmas Special too. Can't wait for these Disney sequels

I see I'm not the only one who caught that Steam sale. I was quite happy with that, though; I misplaced my JK2/JKA discs two or three moves ago, I think. I still have fond memories of running the killall command on JKA's sandworm level and spawning stormtrooper armies to duke it out with each other.

Metal Loaf posted:"GRRR... YER A NO-GOOD KILLER!"  This is actually the "scavenger" that steals a part of Anikin's podracer, but they're the same species and mostly the same model. Also, The Rebellion manual is about the size of a strategy guide. Someday I'm going to sit down and read it cover to cover. Last time I played I thought I had the galaxy map portion of the game pretty well figured out, then hosed things up bad once I got to a battle.

I remember the other weird "side-quests" on the Tatooine levels were fighting Jabba's champion, obtaining juri juice for Teemto (which was really annoying because the bartender would eventually tell you you'd had enough and stopped selling to you, which meant you couldn't complete the mission), and rescuing a kidnapped boy from Captain Neg, who keeps a kind of brown wampa thing or something in his back garden.
