Star Wars games (a sale and a discussion)

[J T]

I've played a little of Rogue Leader (Rogue Squadron II) on GameCube. It's really good from what I can tell. I forgot to mention I own that one too.

I think I do too much collecting and not enough playing.

Rogue Squadron III has either all of or most of Rogue Squadron II as coop.

My favorite will always be Jedi Knight - sans Mysteries of the Sith. My cousin and I use to play deathmatch in that for quite some time. It gave me a rocket launcher that I could detonate in the air...ohh I want to play Jedi Knight right now.

A close second is Xwing with Bwing. My older brother got it for Christmas a long time ago and our homepc could run Xwing but not Bwing, so I did not get to even play it until I was in college. I never did finish Bwing. I think it is time to fire it up with a proper flight stick.

oh man Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight got a shit ton of play since it was one of my first PC games ever! along with half-life (did anyone else catch that Sam & Max easter egg?)

Super Star Wars for SNES was cool, i really enjoyed Shadows of The Empire on N64 too, but after that the only other games i enjoyed were the Jedi Acadamy games

[Ack]

Yeah, I've also got LEGO Star Wars 2, which from the few levels I've played has been pretty entertaining. Other than that, I haven't played a new Star Wars game in years, not since the days of the Nintendo 64. I also own Super Star Wars for the SNES, but I just can not get into it. So many awesome memories of these games though...

The third level in Dark Forces used to terrify me, with the sewer monsters showing up in the pitch black. I'd be slowly crawling through an area, trying to spot their eyestalks, when all of a sudden one would pop out next to me with that horrible noise they make and completely disregard my shields. 20 health gone per hit, ooph. There were a dozen profiles on my copy of Dark Forces, and most were stopped at level 3. Still, my favorite levels were Nar Shaddaa and the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Nothing like popping Imperial goons with a rifle taken from the corpse of a Trandoshan bounty hunter.

I also remember the first time I got to the AT-ATs in Empire Strikes Back for the NES. I had no idea what I was doing the first few times I played. Eventually through trial and error I managed to get them all with the harpoon gun or land and handle them on the ground. Easily my favorite level of the game.

Now there is a sale at Steam for all of the MMO Star Wars Galaxies games. You can pick them up for $10 (though there is a monthly fee to play).
