gaming Star Wars games

[Cash In 23,456]

My favourite game has to be the original Star Wars: Dark Forces. Never played the sequel, so not sure if that one is any better or not.

Honourable mention to Star Wars: The Arcade Game on 2600.

[Dreambiscuit 12,533]

I live and breathe all things Star Wars…except games. Still, I have played a few over the years, but most are older games. The ones I recall are:

Star Wars Arcade (arcades only, but GREAT game),

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Atari),

Shadows of the Empire (N64),

Star Wars Episode I Racer (N64),

Jedi Power Battles (Dreamcast),

Star Wars Demolition (Dreamcast),

Star Wars Starfighter (XBox),

Star Wars Battlefront (PS4).

There may have been others, but these are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head.

The original arcade game is my favorite ever. Shadows of the Empire was fun-ish (the Gall level was ridiculously hard). That game had some serious frustration issues involved. Episode I Racer was the best racing game of any kind I ever played; loads of fun. Starfighter was a big favorite; it had the perfect concept; fly ships and shoot stuff. Very simple and very satisfying. Battlefront wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be, for me anyway. It had its points but overall it didn’t deliver. But I can be hard to please when it comes to games. Now if you want to talk about Star Wars non-video games, I can go there.

Dreambiscuit had a Dreamcast?

Both Battlefront and the LEGO Star Wars games were my jam wayback growing up, and I still have fond memories playing Rogue Squadron on the N64, in fact it just so happen to be Rogue Squadron that made me a Star Wars fan in the first place, so I do have to owe a lot to that game for introducing me to the franchise.

Steam has the PC version of Shadows that I think is better with the detailed cutscenes and music. 

Please say you had heck loads of fun with Dash's jetpack and the Boba Fett boss @Dreambiscuit  

Battlefront II (2017) is worth a play, because of more options, a story and the Steam achievement thumbnails  

Squadrons has flight and combat simulation of Rebel and Imperial starfighters in the openness of space.  Hookup a joystick system, Y-wings rule  

Jedi:  Fallen Order is character and story driven with lore that should fulfill your needs.  Hoping it won't be too long for you to grab its sequel Jedi Survivor.  

Finally, how can we forget long and ongoing online multiplayer RPG that is The Old Republic, the final ongoing game of Legends cannon  Though you will need to subscribe if you want to access the 2nd half or two-thirds of the story content.

Oh Rogue Squadron was my jam, followed by Shadows of the Empire before that.

Pod-racing and Jedi Power Battles were fun too.

The pc version sounds good but I doubt I'll ever get a game to play on my pc (it crashes just from opening my email!)

As for the jetpack and Boba Fett boss, I still have nightmares about trying to beat that horrible battle.

I keep forgetting that Dark Forces got an HD rerelease, need to get on that soon

speaking of which, anyone getting the Battlefront remasters? Those are easily some of my favorite Star Wars games

Where in the Hell is Rogue Squadron 

 

Rogue Squadron is on Steam and GOG.  Sadly, nothing planned for its GameCube sequels.  

[EpicEnergy 23,259]

OG Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2

The Force Unleashed

 

All 3 are considered the top Star Wars games I've played.

[BritishBrony2012 914]
