I was delighted to see Star Wars: Shadows on the Empire on a Steam sale on PC. I originally beat the game on the N64 on Easy difficulty when I was in middle school, but I regretted not being able to finish it on Medium, since it unlocks an extra ending. This game hearkens back to an age when games held your hand less, and enemies were sometimes ridiculously hard to beat.
Overall, it's a great story, and I prefer this version over the N64 since there are 3D cutscenes and voiced dialogue. In the N64 version, the cutscenes are 2D with no voiceovers. It was also great to finally unlock the secret ending after all these years.

Used to piss me off when the droid would complain about never getting paid. TF you mean WE -- I'm the one out here fighting Boba Fett!
For some reason, I remember spending a disproportionate amount of time on this level as a kid, I would've been 6 or 7 at the time. I think it took me a long time to complete, but apart from that, I used to just start up the level and hang around the ship, check out the insides of it etc and just *exist* in the world as a way to relax after school. Sometimes when I felt like hiding from enemies I'd just go chill in the ship, because it was "safe" there and it was my spot to hang out.
It's kinda funny how the mind of a kid works, and how easily occupied we will be by the most random things. I've heard stories of young kids doing similar things in Breath of the Wild, where they'll start a savefile and will somehow manage to spend 50+ hours just messing around on the Great Plateau without even feeling the need to progress further than that. It's both cool and kind of hilarious at the same time.
Yeah kids' minds are strange things.
This was a thing as kid in many 90s games for me, whether open world (well, open world by 90s standards) or not: SOTE, the Tattooine levels in Phantom Menace, Little Big Adventure 2, Grim Fandango, the list goes on. Games with well crafter atmospheres really let you just hang out in the world.
These dudes actually call it a hangout level in this video, which made me remember those times, and now your comment too. ruclips.net/video/SMRiFsFwDQg/видео.html
Yeah I just had a cardboard box lol
Leebo: "The ship is safe with me sir...we will never get paid if you stay here all day...go away sir"
That's how I treat the modern fallout games and I'm 35. I do get around to completing things but it takes me a long time, only beaten 3 but I put at least 200 hours into each of them (except the first). Used to love RPGs when I was adolescent but now I'm much older and prefer the fast paced, quick reflexes kind of thing like gears of war or starcraft 2. Multiplayer of course.
The N64 version of this game is like playing on a calculator lol
Yeah, it is.
Git good scrubz
This was my first start to finish game with my father, on N64. Years later in college I bought this game on Steam and cannot play this game worth Banta poodoo. The mouse forward and back controls front/back movement, it's weird asf. I want my N64 controller back ;-;
Eh.. it wasn't that bad. The auto-aim is pretty generous imo.
@@hyde_2476I used to play with my dad too. This and wave race was the only game he enjoyed lol. This was our favorite level. Since he only has sight in one eye this was for some reason enjoyable to him. Guess the visuals were less intense for his eyes. This level was great. Love when the guy screams “AHHH” as he falls off the cliff lol.
One of the greatest video game levels ever.
Agreed. I'm really missing it rn. Just the landscape, the jetpack, the music Boba Fett boss fight, everything.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to find my way out of the ship at the beginning...
I've been there.
Go away sir.
Me: oh f*** you Leebo
First time I played it, I spent hours trying to open the cockpit door of the Outrider and Leebo kept telling me "the ship is safe with me... we'll never get paid if you stay here all day...go away sir"
I see the level is also just as long as I remember..... Gawd this was too long for it;s own good.
11:07 I love that scream the storm troopers make when falling off an edge
Yeah it’s funny as fuck. They should bring back the scream in the modern games
"go away sir."
I am italian and i have played This game when i was a kid with my father.
Boba fett was so difficult
Yeah he was pretty hard to beat.
Boba Fett and 'Slave 1' lol
Anche io con mio padre pazzesco
Stessa cosa io, Nintendo 64!
"Shadows of the Empire" was my favourite "expanded universe" in the Star Wars story, before Disney scratched it. But they can still make a movie based on parts of it, like the bounty hunters fighting over Han Solo, and with Dash Rendar hired by Leia to track down Han's location. 'Bounty Hunters: A Star Wars Story'
It was a sad day when Disney got rid of the expanded universe, but, they needed to do it for creative licensing. It made sense from a business standpoint.
It’s a shame it was retconned for various reasons. The story itself tied Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi’s events together perfectly. Idk if you’ve read the novel or not but in it the relationship between Vader and Palpatine slowly toxifies thus shining more light on why Vader abruptly betrays Palps at the end. They could always just make this canon again simply by making reference to the events themselves.
Wow, the PC version is so crisp and smooth.
Definitely beats the 25FPS on the Nintendo 64.
Just now playing PC version after however many years the game has been out, and the mouse controlling the movement is my only gripe. Idk how to change it either, there's no setting that I can find that makes it WASD only
This level took me forever as a kid. Mostly because I was scared of falling off. Still freaks me out a little, but it eventually became one of my favorite levels
*This takes me back to my PC game days. Back then everything was very different. Before the dark times. Before the Covid 19 empire.*
Before the dark times. Before the Woke Disney empire.
Dude you were so careful not to die once all the way through both sections of this level including fighting Bobba fett but when he got into slave one man you just went reckless and got killed 5 times before you killed him lol
#ShitHappens
I only ever played on N64, I had no idea that there was a PC version that had voiced dialogue lines and more than 25 FPS, this is like night and day! I'm going to pick this up on steam when I get off work.
FYI for future reference you can fight slave one like an AT-AT. Just keep it on the ground and go behind it and shoot the back. The blasters will turn backwards and try to get you what if you're far enough away it can't hit you
I remember there was a glitch to the slave I. If you flew over top of it and still continued to fire it would do damage without the ship hitting you
Yeah those games had interesting glitches.
I like this level even though I had trouble with the jetpack section. I eventually overcame that part. I also remember calling the Cliff Wampa the "Poop Wampa".
Jeeze, this game looks so much smoother than it did back in the day
Eye Of Nelms Did you play it on N64 or PC? The PC version runs much smoother. I recall the N64 one having a lower frame rate.
@@iFlyFlightSims I played it on 64 back then.
@@Eyeofnelms same here
I remember this level took ages to finish....partially because when I was younger I didn’t know that shooting the AT-ST in the back of the head dealt more damage so it me over an hour alone just to beat that thing. Good playthrough!
Even just looking at gameplays I get cringed and woozy just by looking down.
This game was not friendly to my fear of heights.
My second favorite level with the first being xizors palace.
I remember playing this in 1996. 12 year old me would get frustrated to no end on this level, I remember it going on forever and then dying multiple times at the end. It was a huge victory when I finally finished it
8:21 lmao 🤣
Wilhelm scream FTW.
I loved this level as a kid. I thought the fact that you actually could go into the landed Imperial shuttle near the end was the coolest thing ever. And as far as Nintendo 64 games go, it still is.
14:12 This is why this generation of 30-40 YO's have range anxiety.
28:50 for 1996, LucasArts was ahead of its time in cinematic animation
Jeez the music is so much better
Hi IflyFlighSims! Nice play through of probably the longest level ever in a Star Wars game! Love shadows of the empire! A little tip for ya if you were going for all the challenge points! There are two of them outside the Boba Fett boss arena! One of them is on the back right corner when you jump out of the arena! The other is off the cliff side! You will see a platform by some hanger doors, one side has the challenge point, other is a 1 up!
Thanks for the tips!
My favorite mission. Also I completely forgot that the walking robot had a sick beat.
This game was sick altogether.
@KawaDude SS YES!! thank you so much, I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called.
When you’d push the joystick on the n64 a little as your near a cliff, you’re always in critical danger of falling in this level. Must’ve died over 10,000 times at the jump parts alone. Also got stuck on the jet pack section for quite a while.
Yeah, this level killed me so many times on the N64.
That level burnt the bobba fett theme in me
Besides the Probe Droids. What are all those other droids, and was that a Wampa?
Yes, there are wampas in this game.
@@iFlyFlightSims I just meant in this level and not the second level. And can you answer what other droids are, besides the Probe Droids?
@@matthewkretschmer7010 Can you give me a time stamp? Not sure what you’re seeing.
@@iFlyFlightSims 5:55, for the Wampa.9:25, and 10:06 for the two other kinds of droids there.
@@matthewkretschmer7010 Yes, brown wampas confirmed. (See Gall Spaceport) starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Shadows_of_the_Empire_(video_game) No idea what the other droids are.
This shit was RIDONKULOUSLY LONNNG. Especially with clunky-ass N64 controls.
Why wasn't the AT-ST taking damage for the first little while?
You have to shoot the AT-ST from the rear where the armor is thinnest.
@@iFlyFlightSims ah yes I remember now. I loved this game as a child, haven't killed an AT-ST as Dash in almost 30 years. Thanks for the response!
Did you do anything for the sensitivity of the controls? There are times I barely order a move but he then runs of the cliff.
I don’t think I did. I used an old XBOX360 controller I had lying around.
iFlyFlightSims gotcha! I’m using a mouse and keyboard and it’s so touchy! I think this game is meant for a controller
Cameron984 Yeah the N64 version came out first.
iFlyFlightSims oh I owned it, the frame rate was also much more choppy on the N64, I think they cleaned up the frame rate without modifying the controls.
core memories
I hate this level.
Dreamcast version, if there was one.
The music was kinda scary to me as a kid lol
Playing this on the n64 controller always gave me a bunch of Welch’s on my thumb. the n64s joystick required so much pressure to be able to fully aim in any direction and it gave me an uncomfortable , tender raw feeling when trying to make sharp turns for an enemy that just emerged. The yettis in that one level scared the fuck out of me. I’d ALLLLWAAYYS hand the controller to my older brother when I encountered them.
“Go Away, Sir” 😂
Isso agora é fichinha para garotada que joga Roblox kkkk
So, you like playing Roblox? I've never heard of it.
This has got to be the longest level ever in this game.
No, it's the Mos Eisley race
Anyone remember that bug of sliding down the canyon ?
I remember falling a lot.
@@iFlyFlightSims Yeah that was so annoying. It made me cry & I remember smashing my keyboard with bare hands.
@@Indians-dl3to We’ve all been frustrated like that at one point. Did you eventually beat the level, though?
@@iFlyFlightSims Yes. It was years ago though, back when I was in High School.
I played the N64 version and I don't think that ever happened to me. The bug was only in the PC version.
Of all the levels throughout this game, this was actually the longest one. Lol
😅
