Dark Forces is good, but I have to third the nomination of the Atari arcade game.

I love the Death Star Trench sequence, and up until I had played Rogue Leader, my favorite was the 1983 vector game. However, my favorite now has to be Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, for the Gamecube. Not only does it present the trench sequence with amazing realism and excitement, but it's an all around fantastic game. Hoth is a blast, and the following levels are a lot of fun as well.

After that, it's a tie between the 1983 vector Star Wars, and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace for Playstation (nothing's cooler than deflecting all those laser blasts!).

Honorable mentions go to Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, The Empire Strikes back (2600), and Super Star Wars.

I personally think that Super Bombad Racing is one of the most underrated titles ever

But the best of all is Super Star Wars.....

I always like Star Wars: Demolition, just because I like vehicular combat games.

Episode I Racer is fun. The original Star Wars PC game (Wolfenstein-esque and all) was easy to get into and a blast to play. Despite the popular opinion on the subject, I really enjoy Teras Kasi on the PS1. And you can't overlook the SNES games or classics like Star Wars: TAG on 5200 and ColecoVision.

I'll go against the grain here and say that my fav SW game has to be Star Wars: Masters of Teras-Kasi (PSX) , it was helluafun using every single character to beat the everloving snot out luke. :wink: :P

But as for actualy SW games the SNES series, the 32X port of arcade and the Dark Forces game and demolition was always good Twisted Metalisque fun :D

Star wars arcade in the sit down cabinet get my No 1 vote. Theres a SW pcb on ebay at the moment and im gonna get it if it doesnt go through the roof.

Dark forces was an excellent romp

Rogue squadran is ine of the best n64 games, Rs2 is fricken excellent.


In fact the only starwars game i never liked was return of the jedi arcade.

At home, my favorite is GCN Rogue Leader. I can't play it a lot because I get frustrated, but the presentation, visuals, and the level missions themselves are Star Wars nirvana to me. I still cannot believe I can play a game of that calibre graphics at home. The AT-AT Hoth scenes alone were worth the $20 I paid.

I liked Star Wars Pod Racer (SEGA) at the arcades. The home version is not quite as exciting but it seemed fun at times (never finished it). THe Star Wars ones, radically cool in the 90's, seem very aged and too difficult to me now.

I think I've remembered enough of 'em to list a top five now:

1. Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
2. Star Wars Arcade (Atari 80's version, sit down cab)
3. Star Wars Pod Racer (SEGA, coinop)
4. Super Star Wars (SNES)
5. The Empire Strikes Back (2600)

4. Super Star Wars (snes)
5. Star Wars Arcade

In order:

* Rogue Leader. Amazing. The first game that, with the Battle of Endor, captured the feeling of "There's Too Many Of Them!" swarms of TIEs which is why I loved RotJ all these years, despite the ewoks...
I'm way psyched about the upcoming sequel.

* Star Wars the arcade game...but I think a huge part of that was that awesome controller.

* X-Wing (never got Tie Fighter) Heh, I remember trying to play this on my 386...my dormmates were laughing at me, yawning quite loudly as it took forever just to get past the title screen...finally I got a 486, and they shut up.

Actually, N64 Rogue Squadrom should probably be in there, but it kind of fulls under Rogue Leader.

I'm with you. I know most people hate it, but "Masters" was the whole reason I ended up getting a Playstation to begin with.

Masters of Teras Kasi is extremely underrated. But my favorite would have to be either the Jedi Knight series, or the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series

My favorite experiences have been with Jedi Knight II on the PC. Very good FPS with fun online play, can't keep my Quake roots down too long :)

Oh yeah, I had forgotten the old 2600 games.

I really loved "Empire Strikes Back". It was one I was jonesing for, a long with Battlezone, before I got an Atari. (I think, I may have the timing mixed up)

Empire Strikes Back for 2600: it taught us that armor wasn't too strong for blasters, but your firebutton finger was going to get really really tired.

2600 Return of the Jedi was kinda cool to. Interesting kinetic control scheme.
