- grc586, on 04/07/2008, -2/+119Lego Star Wars wasn't too bad..
- fanboydcs, on 04/07/2008, -0/+75what about Shadows of the Empire for N64? That game was amazing. The battle where you had to throw the tow rope around the AT AT was alot of fun..
- Khael, on 04/07/2008, -1/+53KotOR 1 & 2 were my favorites by far. Looking forward to KotOR 3.
- ADA531, on 04/07/2008, -7/+52Star Wars: Battlefront FTW!!!
- twertyto, on 04/07/2008, -0/+38X-wing and Tie Fighter for the PC was amazing. I have fond memories of spending hours working my config.sys and autoexec.bat files to get the game to run properly.
If those games came out today (15 years after their original release) on any of the current consoles they would be hugely popular. - spmyke, on 04/07/2008, -0/+29LucasArts really should make a new X-Wing combat simulator.
- NoMiT, on 04/07/2008, -1/+30Buried for Heresy.
Rebel Assault I and II were amazing. Anyone who disagrees and buries me obviously did not play the games. - inactive, on 04/07/2008, -5/+32SWG : the Titanic of MMORPGs
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+22What, no Shadows of the Empire? For shame.
- YME1280, on 04/07/2008, -3/+25Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga ... pretty good. And I'm an insane critic when it comes to videogames.
- ckup619, on 04/07/2008, -0/+22i actually had fun playing SWG before the devs ruined it, plus Masters of Teras kasi wasn't anywhere close to being the worst. and what about Yoda Stories?!?!?!?!
- funkymonkey01, on 04/07/2008, -2/+23Revenge of The Sith was good.
- MrBogard, on 04/07/2008, -2/+20They had me up until the SWG bashing. SWG *was* one of the best MMORPG's ever developed. It's been mishandled by SOE from day one, and downgraded into a different game all together, but it was still something special in its day. Galaxies is essentially the only Ultima Online 2 we'll ever see, and brought all of Ultima's goodness into a 3D realm that was beautifully designed. From it's free and open job system to the massive player communities found all over the galaxy, it was UO refined.. todays MMORPG's pale in comparison.
- Vaughanabe13, on 04/07/2008, -3/+20I don't care what they say, when I was little I thought Masters of Teras Kasi was ***** AWESOME. Well ok, only if you use one of the characters that has a light saber, otherwise it blew.
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 04/07/2008, -0/+15Are you kidding? The Phantom Menace game was awesome!
- magicbullets, on 04/07/2008, -3/+16You missed out The Undressing of Princess Leia for the N64, which was a true joy. Teras Kasi UTTERLY sucked, so good call.
- crowbar77, on 04/07/2008, -1/+14Yeah i still thought kotor 2 was decent, even if it wasnt done by bioware. Still imo didnt compare to the first one though.
- dafragsta, on 04/07/2008, -0/+12My memories of trying to get >540KB free main memory after sound drivers and mouse driver are NOT fond.
/mumbles and holds left shift. - navster15, on 04/07/2008, -0/+12I am saddened by the omission of Republic Commando on the best list, but otherwise there are some pretty good picks. BTW, am I the only person to have never beaten Rogue Squadron? That game kicked my ass on the later missions.
- Radan, on 04/07/2008, -0/+11Seriously, there's a distinct lack of Tie Fighter/X-wing kind of games on the market today. What happened to them? I still got my joystick from the X-wing vs. Tie Fighter time and haven't used it since then. I want to fly around in space in first person (no the N64 games doesn't count) and blow up bloody rebel scum!
Also, does anyone else kind of miss the old "cartoony" cut scenes that Lucas Arts used in their games? They just had that kind of feeling that no other game has today. - CrimsonBlur, on 04/07/2008, -0/+11Yeah I had the same thought. Rebel Assault II was really awesome. I remember when it came out I was the only one of my friends with a computer fast enough to play it at full resolution, it was awesome.
The plot and acting in Rebel Assault II was actually pretty damn good, and the special effects were almost Hollywood quality.
Playing those games isn't any more "lame" than playing any other kind of on-rails shooter, I don't see why the author thinks that's such a terrible format. Sure, today those kinds of shooters are out of style because you don't have as much freedom, but at the time it wasn't that odd. - BigBR, on 04/07/2008, -1/+11I know most people hate it, but I really liked Jedi Power Battles for the PS1
- ninjan, on 04/07/2008, -0/+10I had some fun with Shadows of the empire (N64)
- revenz, on 04/07/2008, -0/+10"Masters of Teras Kasi"? i actually thought that was a really good game, throwing your light saber at your enemies was cool, and had a decent amount of unlockables.
- Varney, on 04/07/2008, -0/+10It was based on Episodes I-III and didn't "suck."
- mortinmaxwell, on 04/07/2008, -0/+9Star Wars Rebellion was one of my favorites that wasn't on the list.
- Enasni1212, on 04/07/2008, -1/+9That is a surprisingly apt analogy... well done
- Pstall, on 04/07/2008, -0/+8Yeah where the hell is lego star wars at on this list?
- inactive, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7I have had my best memories ever playing SWg. I have yet to match the fun i had doing corvettes and attacking outpost, even if you were not into PVp, being part of a city wide attack is something no other game can even come close too, and then there was the space side of it, now im pissed again they ***** up my ggame.......
- Motopsycho832, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7i can remember being depressed for a good week when that game went under, you are completely right, a fantastic game before it took an unbelievable nose dive, even just traveling around in the terrain kept me occupied for hours
- Namaha, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7Seriously, this list is terrible if it didn't include Shadows of the Empire.
I think I'll go download that ROM now in fact. - hermslice, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7yeah i played the lego complete saga this weekend!!! good game, nice gameplay, FUN, FUNNY. if you like star warz and dont mind them fudging on a few of the details this game is awesome. seriously check it out.
- Tyrghast, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7Meh, don't really care what this guy thinks since his article reads like what a twelve year-old would write.
- neverender, on 04/07/2008, -1/+8Agreed 100% And the bashing in the article is completely wrong and horribly biased. SWG had the best crafting system in any MMO ever.
- NoMiT, on 04/07/2008, -0/+7Damn right
- wontstoptalking, on 04/07/2008, -3/+9Force Unleashed FTW!!!
- dafragsta, on 04/07/2008, -1/+7X-Wing vs TIE Fighter was cool, but that was like 12 years ago. It barely lived long enough to get GLide support.
- flangepiece, on 04/07/2008, -1/+7I don't know if it's just nostalgia making me click the little 'thumbs up' or what, but you're absolutely bang-on there.
- 1longtime, on 04/07/2008, -0/+6How could they possibly forget the ollllld-school "Star Wars" arcade game?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_(arcade_gam ... - crowbar77, on 04/07/2008, -0/+6I actually liked Obi wan, at least the mutliplayer.
- dema, on 04/07/2008, -0/+6Apparently you don't remember real well.
- Popninety, on 04/07/2008, -1/+7Rebellion FTW!!!
- chris8535, on 04/07/2008, -0/+6The death of this genre was truely unfortunate... the X and TIE series didn't rely on graphics, just really solid gameplay, and awesome writing. The stories were what got me to really fall in live with Tie Fighter.
While the genre is pretty much dead now, at least it went out with one of the best contributions to it, Freespace 1 & 2 which faithfully replicated the excitment and writing of the Tie and X series which inspired them. - StarExtreme, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6Or based on all 6, if you got The Complete Saga.
- Radan, on 04/07/2008, -0/+6You could play as freakin' Darth Vader AND Bobba Fett and could completely beat the crap out of Luke whiny mcSkywalker. Such game cannot be made out of anything but pure awesomeness. While I wasn't really a hardcore beat-em'-up-gamer at that age, I thought that game seriously owned.
- Eslamicolt3, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5Haha my thoughts exactly. When I was like, 10, that game ***** OWNED. It used to take me about 20 tries but when you threw the lightsaber with a full energy bar...
- Scheissen, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5I'd love to see a sequel for Republic Commando.
- Slybri, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5I spent years playing the X-wing sims. I used to love setting up bot matches and just blowing up tie-fighters for hours on end. The force feedback controller would even lurch forward when you jumped into hyperspace. I still play x-wing alliance now and then. One of the best PC games of all time. Dark Forces as well.
Too bad Lucas Arts will never make a new one...especially not for the PC. It's all mindless third person hack 'n slash console games now. - Danktolker, on 04/07/2008, -3/+8No Battlefront either? ***** this list
- malechite, on 04/07/2008, -0/+5Teras Kasi was fun (it was kind of bad, yes...but i had a decent time playing it with my friends)
what i REALLY would like to see is Lucasarts making a NEW Star Wars fighting Game... think capcom vs SNK or something with basically a TON of characters from the entire saga... (and hopefully good game mechanics)
Then you could do like Old Obi-Wan vs Young Obi-Wan, or Anakin versus Vader, or Qui-gon versus Boba-Fett, Xizor versus Maul, etc
Basically the ability to pick anyone at any time in the star wars universe versus someone else... That would be an amazing game. -
