Dark Forces stage 1 is a paragon of visual storytelling in this era. That wall section around the plans slowly raising up like a vault door, the understanding that the same Empire that wouldn't consider a fighter to be a threat to the Death Star would also barely bother defending the plans based on the idea that no one would DARE to. I've always felt that Dark Forces is how Operation Skyhook really happened; Rogue One is how the New Republic parents tell the story to their kids. Also I always offer an obligatory "Hi Crix!" whenever his name is mentioned in a Star Wars game. Edit: 12:45 This always bugged me as a kid, but why does the hud say 'Dark Trooper Weapon' as if the rebels have any clue what a dark trooper even is? This could have been a fun little easter egg in the new renderer to replace that with "What the frack is this?!" a la the Unmaker in Doom 64.

1:06:00 "And it was all thanks to the last game being so damn cryptic in what it wanted from me."

Definitely would be interested in such a video, maybe you could work it into a gaiden episode?

Hi. You use the force on star wars arcade by not firing in the trench run.

i was an Atari kid back in the 80's. i had star war's battle arena & the empire strikes back for the Atari 2600.

Disparages my beloved Missile Boat over and and over and never learns to use SLAM. Sad face. Great videos though!

I swear this goes deeper than just the scream

1:02:36 does this remind anyone else of Breaking Bad or is it just me

Woohoo! Glad you got to that last cutscene, I knew you would like that part.

I wish Galacta didn't speak during this :/

The SubLight Acceleration Motor, abbreviated to SLAM, was an overdrive system that allowed the Missile Boat to double its sublight speed. By drawing energy from the missile boat's laser cannon reserves, SLAM provided a burst of acceleration from the ion engines to enhance the Missile Boat's combat capabilities.

Wow, that's not bad for a 1990s release of Star Wars Game! - looking for the release date

I will never watch your Chanel again you hhjjkkjj

Love hearing about hearing about what people thought the clone wars was before the prequels. I have a similar problem where reading comics is difficult for me but I realized that I do better when I have a physical copy. I need to get into some Star Wars comics. I scrolled through one about Luke's descendent and Darth Talon for reference research but I would never read that comic cause without reading I knew I hated the Luke descendent character and his girlfriend was dressed so... 90-00s. It put me off lol.

On your point about how you feel Disney could have continued the EU into the new stuff. I feel like in some way the writers want to do their own thing and not just be adaptation writers. This is evident even in the new stuff coming out where writers will kinda just ignore things in canon. I had some examples from Skeleton Crew but idk if you've seen it and with the show being so new I don't want to spoil anyone. But yeah I do kinda feel that doing so would limit the writers who want to do their own stories and adaptations always see negativity by original fans. In my opinion it was truly a lose lose situation. Obviously my view is different since I never really knew about the EU until after the Sequels and even than I more focus on Old Republic stuff like the KOTOR games as opposed to the post OT stuff. Star Wars is a mess but it's my mess, weird canon and all.

….

What is this lighting r u on that fps booster

That's comedic timing

Very well done as usual.

Also you only give the Disney+ shows a chance is because of me

Traitor

A fellow fan of the EU I see!!!

All the caves reminds me of the NES/Master System game (the one that left Japan) but better realized.

I had this. Loved it back then. Another great one was Stelar Assault for the 32X.

No, it doesn't look like the original arcade game. The original used all wire-frame graphics. Vector graphics I think it was called ?

This is one of those games I was blissfully unaware of at the time and didn't learn of until many years later. I had moved onto Sega Genesis and Turbografx by this point. So while some of my peers were playing this I was playing Bonk's Revenge and Streets Of Rage 1.

I've spent the past week watching this level by level. My God that is brutal. I understand now why it never left Japan.

The orbs are Dandelion Warriors

thank You for the credit. Greatly appreciated.

That glider game is very ambitious for the atari, i'm legitimately impressed by it! Also i like this idea of the gaiden videos also being a 'How it's going.'

It's cool to see how the arcade games evolve over time in terms of graphics and yet no matter what you're still shooting fireballs

This is cool!!! Digging up history!!!

Ahh…. it’s alright

I used to play this all the time in Jr. High. One of the few 32x games I actually had. Me and my friends would always laugh at Admiral Ackbar. 😂

I loved the 32x version ❤❤❤

Amazing conversion... I played till death

I worked with one of the programmers of this game

Lol the og starwars arcade game had wire frame graphics

Wait? What? You can just input a code? I was always told you had to beat the game (or most of it) while also being told it's not as good as the game before it. I never got it for that reason. The only one I like is the original Star Wars Arcade game. The real thing looks better with actual vector graphics. The explosions look cooler too. Played it a month ago at a barcade I went to. That one is fun for short bursts. Play for like 10-15 minutes and you're good. The other two never were as much fun. Return Of The Jedi was cool for a minute when it first came out as you didn't see games like that then, but time has NOT been kind to it since.

It is Luke who blows up the first death star bro, he turns off his targeting computer and uses the force.

Do a barrel roll !

The 32X version wasn't too bad, Back then Star Wars games were hit or miss...If you are indeed playing all of them, there is also the Sega CD game, Star Wars:Rebel Assault. that one was different.

For the time, and for a cartridge based game, this was very impressive. Could have been better. As I recall this along with Doom were launch titles that were heavily rushed. So while finished they probably wanted more time to work on this but weren't given it. On a side note, I have to say it amused me that you were trying to figure out the timeline and Lando is what convinced you this took place during Return Of The Jedi all the while ignoring the most obvious part that would have led you to that conclusion: Admiral Akbar! 😆

That's why I call BS. I was there in 82 I was over at a friends house we stayed up all night in hopes of beating the game not realizing it was an endless hellscape. You failed before you began.

Somebody's entirely too happy to work for the Empire 😂

Master System version is so superior. You should play through that version.

If you like hanging out with Thrawn then you definitely need to play the expansion missions. Plus it adds a ton of new ships to fight against and my favorite fighter in all of Star Wars. Glad you liked TIE Fighter so much.

Looks like zelda: a link to the past orginal Nintendo. But star wars version!😁

Some tactical advice. 1) Disable the capital ships once the shields are down if you have ion cannons. Then they'll stop shooting at you. 2) You can target the components on capital ships by cycling with "," It is very useful to take out the turrets with torpedoes or missiles before you get close. 3) You have a tendency to waste missiles. If a starfighter is almost destroyed, finish it with cannons, not dual missiles. 4) Those missile launching mines can get really annoying, but if you shoot them with dual or quad cannons you'll often hit the missile as it launches.

Glad that you are enjoying one of the best games ever made. I've completed this game a bunch of times, and enjoy it every time, though I never really liked piloting the Assault Gunboat.
