The 1st 3D game I ever saw. At my neighbors house on their 32x as a kid. I fondly remember how it blew my mind and opened my imagination as to what was possible. Nice seeing the arcade version side by side here.
This is the first time I have seen the actual arcade game. The arcade clearly wins however I have more respect for the 32x version now. It was clearly a very decent home port of a then recent arcade game.
You have a point about it all being in-context. I'd be interested to see what the N64 or PSX could have made of this. Probably both close to perfect, albeit not at 60fps.
The 32X version could,ve waaaaay better , but because of limited cartride space, limited time, they just rushed it to reach the hollyday christmas season to be in stores, and it was not the only game.
Considering it is a comparison between a piece of hardware that cost a couple of hundred at release against something that cost thousands when launched, the 32X version is a remarkably good port. Looks like it is running at half the frame rate but not bad at all.
Yep, it was a good effort. It is unfortunate for the 32X that it had to compete against Sega's own Saturn and faced the problems of a high cost of entry and so few games to sell it. It was a bad combination that doomed it to fail. It was a good bit of hardware from a technical point of view and obviously improved on the Genesis/Mega Drive considerably.
@@J.Crooner Fixed so that people will actually want to read it, since it's got some good points but is likely to get skimmed across due to it being written in ALL CAPS which comes across as childish or immature for most people. Agreed. The president of Sega should have simply scrapped the production of the Sega 32X & the Saturn altogether, putting all their focus on the Sega Dreamcast from the start which would have put SEGA back in the #1 driver's seat all the way into the new millennium, especially with Sonic Adventure being the definitive launch title & the release of the masterful remastered Soul Caliber game that I still faithfully play even today. Sega would still be around & on top if they had just tweaked their ideas & focal points just a little sooner than what they decided to do unfortunately😔. It would be nice to see Sega team up with SNK & give the world a true 1000 lightyear futuristic video game experience we so desperately need right now. The two companies could perform real magic together & put Sony & Microsoft officially "OUT OF BUSINESS" for good😎 .
The arcade game is really impressive for it's time with how the Death Star approach seamlessly transitions to the trench and uses that to mask the obvious difference between the detailed surface versus what's seen in the approach, in the 32X it cuts away like many games would but the arcade version gives the impression of it being more like a physical place rather than a series of segments glued together with moments of blank screens.
Sega should have also made a Saturn version of the game, that would have looked pretty much identical to the arcade version. The 32X version still looks good though.
Nah it wouldn't have looked identical to arcade but it would of looked closer to the arcade than 32x version. It would of took the dreamcast to make the graphics identical or even better than the arcade.
Think about the limitations they had on the 32x. Just like the other cartridge based game, they could program so much until they run out of memory. don't just assume every port on the 32x is rushed.
True, they could had done better. That said, doom 32x was rushed, but I'd like to fix that. I'd like to start disassembling Sega Roms, if I had a workn computer though. I can still type on the phone.
👏👏👏.... Esse 32x é muito, muito valente... Quem viveu essa época sabe que os Arcades eram muito superiores aos consoles... E esse pro 32 x tá muito bom.
This is the first I've seen of this arcade game. I always thought the 32X game was supposed to be a fleshed out version of the Eighties Star Wars game with the vector graphics.
Always enjoyed the 32x port and good to see how close they managed to get the conversion. Good effort all round especially for a £50 piece of hardware compared to £8,000
@@commscan314 Jaguar is low bar compared to SNES? Check out SNES Doom vs Jaguar Doom. Jag Doom is better than 32X Doom as well. Jaguar is a bit more powerful than 32X. But game quality wise, 32X has the better games. And I agree Star Wars Arcade 32X is more impressive than Star Fox. Just as Virtua Racing is more impressive than Stunt Race FX.
the Sega 32x has its charm I must admit and even has some of the authentic sound effects but I got a like the coin slot better it's more articulate and more detailed even for the graphics of its time
The 32x is missing fps and isn't as smooth as the arcade but it's still a good port, I don't remember games having such good graphics in 1993, to think there was a huge leap from this to Mario64 and Tomb Raider only 3 years later. It's like games became graphically better from 1993 to 1996 and then from 1996 to 2000 there was another huge improvement when PS2 and Xbox games came out and then from 2000 to 2006 it reached even a better detailed look with PS3 and XB360 but I feel after that games haven't really looked better since then. I mean PS4 games look slightly better than PS3 but it's not as noticeable as PS1 to PS2 to PS3
Why are a lot of u ppl putting out that the 32x port was Horrible and rused. Its like ur saying that the game was not programmed correctly. Think of the limitations they had. just like every other cartridge based games, it could hold up to 32Mb of data, thats 4009kb of Rom file size. They could do so much of programing until they reached the limit of memory usage. I know the 32x was not the best 32bit add-on, but the game was one of the best of all other 32x games I've played.
Excellent choice for a launch game. With Virtua Racing Deluxe and Doom, SEGA had one of the best console launch lineup of games ever (best ever?). Too bad the games felt a bit rushed. In the case of Doom, it was very rushed. Star Wars Arcade on 32X could've benefited from extra opening animations (R2 is missing!), and more gameplay options, but it's nice as it is. The digitized Star Wars theme impressed me at the time and helped me "do the connection" (It was a cart after all!)
Visuals and sound are better on the arcade of course (the Model 1 was truly a beast for its time), but the playability of the home port seems to be a bit better even with the digital pad. That game was fun but also very hard, I only have beaten it once in 2 player mode (with the Y Wing). The little video feeds on the ship's hud reminded me of the original Star Tours. The 90s were a great time to be a young adult.
This is...it's a $30,000 sit down arcade cab ($54,077.65 today) vs a cheap $179.00 add-on for the Sega Genesis ($325.19 today). The 32X version absolutely blew our minds in 1994 and was one of the best games to ever hit the add-on. This was a time when home consoles started to truly be a threat to the arcades. Once the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation hit the end was rapidly approaching for arcades. Games like Ridge Racer, Tekken, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, Soul Edge, just about any 2d fighter (with little concessions), Sega Rally, Virtua Cop, and so many more were pushing closer to the same experience at home. By the time the Sega Dreamcast hit that was the end of the line. Unfortunately, arcades never truly recovered and have been on a slow downward journey to full extinction.
@@retroboy-fh1ji damn. Look foward to trying that one. Have you played this 32X yet though? I don't even think it was intended for humans to win. Edit: I got so fed up I tried using save states and still couldn't win.

Actually they used the 32x chip for the opening story roll, it plays the entire movie theme song straight from the movie. Something Genesis alone couldn't have come close too. And during gameplay its used for sound effects from the movie. I think only the in game music is fm, which does stand out. So I can see how the sound fx could be over looked. Too bad this comparison doesnt show the story roll.
sadly the 32x was more than capable of a 1:1 port (content wise, but visually, it could also have done a lot better with little to no performance loss). due to openlaura, we're finding out the system is more capable than they let on. 100% of the games released were rushed to the point that absolutely none of them represents what the system is capable of.. not even close!
Olhando pras versões de Saturn do Virtua Fighter 1 e Virtua Racing que também são da Model 1, acho que não ficaria igual ao do arcade... só não sei se isso era desleixo da Sega ou limitação do Saturn mesmo.
Arcade looks better, but that aside, the 32x was really hot for what it brought home to the TV. I like what I see here. I'm only sorry i was late to the game, regardless of the 32x's fate. I forgot what store came before Gamestop (not EB, not Babbage, there was another game store that was a rental/buy that was popular here in SoCal). It was 1996, I bought my 32x from it, also a few games (Kolibri, Virtua Fighter, Doom) they were a LOT of fun! I didn't know what games existed for 32x, but had I known star wars was on it, I'd have hunted it down for sure. I'd say the system did its job and kept me entertained on a budget, even with its limited library (the 32x was $20 and the games $10 each). It wouldn't be till 1998 till I got a PS1, so it was most certainly worth it.
That store would be Software Etc. Which later turned into GameStop. I had one reserved the day it released,grabbed Star Wars,Virtua Racing Deluxe, and a few months later Knuckles Chaotic. For its time the hardware was great,but you knew that it was on shaky ground with the Saturn coming. I had no regrets buying one,was an incredible rush playing Sega arcade ports in those days. Err wait,rental store? Are you thinking of BRE Software? WE had 3 of them here in Fresno/Clovis in those days. They were really nice. You could ren or buy the games and they often got games in faster than anyone.
cheguei jogar nas arcadas, bela cabine tela enorme monitor retroprojector 4canais audio, 2xfrente e 2xbanco atras, dava imersao epico, boa conversao 32x,...mas sega model1 superior em graficos
I had no idea there’s a Model 1 Star Wars Arcade. I only knew of the Model 3. All these years I was wondering why 32X had a Star Wars Arcade; thinking it was because of its play style.
You have to give the 32x version some credit for doing a commendable job with the conversion. After all this is a home console version using an adapter that fitted on top of the Genesis. I am amazed it could even pull this off to be honest.
Can you imagine a Saturn version with CD-quality music, better graphics, better framerate and video cutscenes starring Star Wars characters in between missions?
I played this in Sega World as a kid. I had the 32X and bought this game since I already had doom on Dad’s computer and Virtua racing for my mega drive. At the time I thought it was arcade perfect, looking at it now, not so much.
Ughh the sound in the 32X version could have been arcade perfect, but sadly not, but I do agree with most of you the 32X did a pretty damn good job with trying to push a model 1 Hardware arcade port in full 3D, alas missing details and scaled back res, other then that its one of those ports that you can own and think of how close of a port sega had done and the fact that they even attempted it on a less powerful sega system add on was incredible at the time and still to this day, BUT! Lol if sega would have found a way to make its 32X cartridges have a lot more space in a way and more power there’s no DOUBT that this would have been model 1 arcade perfect on the 32X
I always assumed the 32x game was a really bad port of Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Now I see it was a really good port of this arcade game I've never seen before. Was it not released in the US? These were my prime arcade going years, I'm sure I would have seen it
It saw an extremely limited test run in the US and Europe, with only, like, 12 units making it over. Not long after, Sega lost their contract with Lucasfilm, and the PCB’s were destroyed. So yeah, this game is INSANELY rare.
Had no idea the original game was running off a Model 1 board. Wow - -that meant AT LEAST a 50% drop in rendered poly's in the conversion to 32X! I never finished this game... It was just WAY TOO HARD and the control was bad. I imagine the reason it was never ported to Saturn might have been timing and licensing. For that matter, they NEVER ported Star Wars Trilogy to any console, either.
throw on the free play to make sure the roms function in their entirety, mortal kombat II arcade upright I owned had one faulty rom for the 2nd player so I got it for free and fixed the rom it was just corrosion on contact. Can't say the same for jamma boards vs pcb eeprom. Perhaps if there's a difference in game quality or play that could be a vc decide...
Eu não posso nem criticar a versão do 32X, porque é evidente que essa versão seria inferior ao do Arcade. Agora eu queria saber, se o game fosse portado para o Mega Drive com o chip SVP, as pessoas não teriam tanto preconceito com esse jogo?
The 32x was like the Super FX for the Genesis, quite primitive compared to what was already being developed for the fifth generation, but a necessary stopgap until release of those consoles.
The 1st 3D game I ever saw. At my neighbors house on their 32x as a kid. I fondly remember how it blew my mind and opened my imagination as to what was possible.
Nice seeing the arcade version side by side here.
Wow that first star destroyer is much bigger in the arcade! It's like the beginning of Spaceballs lol!
May the shwartz be with you!
I was thinking the same thing!
This is the first time I have seen the actual arcade game. The arcade clearly wins however I have more respect for the 32x version now. It was clearly a very decent home port of a then recent arcade game.
I've never seen the arcade version, either. Still have my Sega 32x and the game, though. :)
BRIAN WALKER I played the arcade once in Las Vegas as a kid. Back when good arcades still existed. It was amazing [and in English btw]

Pretty cool. The 32X really wasn't that far off. A little slower and less textures but it works.
Respectable Model 1-to-32X port, and one that prob sold the most consoles out of any other 32X game.

It saw an extremely limited test run in the US and Europe, with only, like, 12 units making it over. Not long after, Sega lost their contract with Lucasfilm, and the PCB’s were destroyed. So yeah, this game is INSANELY rare.
It's a good port.
32x is really good considering it was competing against a super computer.
Out of both of them, I will go with the arcade version.
Looks fantastic. Well in 32 x
What if Star Fox reprogrammed to the 32X or SEGA Model 1?
@Don't Talk Zoomer Oh hell yeahhh
Almost all 32x games are capped at 30fps, I don't know why maybe sh1 or 2 error idk
Good enough!
0:36 You VS the guy she tells you not to worry about
Had no idea the original game was running off a Model 1 board.
Wow - -that meant AT LEAST a 50% drop in rendered poly's in the conversion to 32X!
I never finished this game... It was just WAY TOO HARD and the control was bad.
I imagine the reason it was never ported to Saturn might have been timing and licensing.
For that matter, they NEVER ported Star Wars Trilogy to any console, either.
Great comparison! Thanks!
na época eu tinha o 32x e esse jogo...Terminei o Doom mas não terminei o Star Wars que era meu
I'm surprised by the 32x framerate
Que tal uma comparação do Star Wars Racer Arcade vs Star Wars Racer Dreamcast.
The difficulty of the home version really killed any sense of fun that could have been had.
The 2-Player-System with one as Pilot and one as Gunner is very cool - but only the Arcade-Version has this Feature, right?
arcade wins. the 32X is slower and has a more grainy feel to it. decent port though
es una pena que sea una conversion ecba con prisas. aun asi es buenisimo en 32x yo lo disfruto muchisimo
absolutely any arcade game that is deemed worthy of a port to console is a guaranteed money making game system.
throw on the free play to make sure the roms function in their entirety, mortal kombat II arcade upright I owned had one faulty rom for the 2nd player so I got it for free and fixed the rom it was just corrosion on contact. Can't say the same for jamma boards vs pcb eeprom. Perhaps if there's a difference in game quality or play that could be a vc decide...
Sega should have ported this to the Saturn instead.
Com tanto jogo 3D da sega,como ela pensou que o saturn deveria ser feito para 2D? Sega, voce tem demência?
O causador disso foi o PlayStation, a sega acreditava que o 3d era só para os seus arcades.
The radar doesnt seem to work in the arcade version.
32x was rushed big time. Still a great game for the time.
Found this for 99 cents yesterday
Eu não posso nem criticar a versão do 32X, porque é evidente que essa versão seria inferior ao do Arcade. Agora eu queria saber, se o game fosse portado para o Mega Drive com o chip SVP, as pessoas não teriam tanto preconceito com esse jogo?

Wow being a SNES man even I give the 32X respect on this one
The 32x was like the Super FX for the Genesis, quite primitive compared to what was already being developed for the fifth generation, but a necessary stopgap until release of those consoles.
this would have been cool to play on the saturn...
O arcade já não é lá aquelas coisas...
Good effort. Arcade wins!!!
Arcade version wins, but just a little bit though
