Wait - I'm sure there's a new thread there!

 

For worst, I'd have to go with Flight of the Falcon for GBA.

FotF is worse than Obi-Wan? :eek: Have you guys ever played the Atari Star Wars games? Particularly, "Jedi Arena"? Now, I'm not a really good judge as to which Atari games are good and which are bad but... damn. :D

I've never played ObiWan ... only PC games & GBA.

 

Of the ones I've played:

- DF, JK/MotS, JKII, JA

- SotE

- Ep1: TPM

- Racer

(I bought Force Commander with Racer on eBay years ago but one look at the manual and it is still in a box ...)

- GBA - Jedi Power Battles

- GBA - New Droid Army

- GBA - Flight of the Falcon

 

Flight of the Turkey is my vote!

I first saw Star Wars as a 5 years old when it made another run in theaters in 1979. That was the only way you saw movies again since there were no VCRs at the time. :)

 

Been a fan ever since...

 

And I've been playing games long enough to remember when Lucasarts was revered in the gaming community because everthing they put out was gold...

 

But I still look on EBay for the original Star Wars arcade game with the vector graphics. Man, me and my Dad spent what seemed like a bazillion dollars on that game. It was so lifelike!

That is something that makes it so hard for younger people these days to grasp what Star Wars meant back then ... RotK will be out on DVD <6 months after release. In November of 1977 (6 months after release) for the Thanksgiving long weekend Star Wars was *still* #1!!

I was like 5 or 6 and my parents showed me a version they taped off of TV. Then my grandma was in town and my mom brought home the "one last time" edition, and then it really hit: a neighbor loaned me Tim Zahn's trilogy. I was done at that point. Permanently hooked forever.

Well....but Return of the Jedi on the Atari Console was quite nice that time wasn't it;) ?

I got introduced back in the 80´s when they showed A new hope for the first time on tv. It just got stuck in my head and its there ever since.

 

Btw, there is StarWars game thread kids :¬:

I was introduced when I first played the demo version of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

 

 

I saw Ep4:ANH in the theaters when I was 2 years old.

I don't really know when I first saw the movies, but my Earliest memory was when I was like two, I Remember watching it with my grandma, after that I was "hooked" and all my day dreams were of blasting stoormies till I was like 8 then I bought a Collectors pack of X-Wing, TIE fighter, & X-Wing vs TIE fighter, my life would never be the same again ;)
