What was the first Lucas Arts game you ever played, and what are your fondest memories of it?

 

 

For me it would be Tie Fighter, and my most fond memory was late game in those Tie Deltas(I think thats what they were) you were supposed to escort Vader to another flagship and I just blew him up.:D

Yes.

 

I am that old.

 

yeah, I remember that, but me and my friends back in the day were all too poor to ever have a 2600 :(:violin:

 

one thing that is scary and amazing at the same time, is if you consider how far games have come along in just 20 years... lordy knows things will be in 20 years from now :)

X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter.

 

There were a bunch of LA games I had played before XvT, but that is the first one I actually bought when I got a real PC.

 

I also had the Atari ESB game, and a ColecoVision version of the SW arcade game. Niether were offically a LA product, though.

Although I was pumping quarters into the Star Wars arcade game in 1983, that was by Atari.

I never 'did' the NES thing, feeling much as I do now that I prefer PC gaming (w00t Castle Wolfenstein on my Apple ][+ !) to consoles.

 

So my first LucasArts game was Dark Forces, in 1995.

my first lucasarts game was Indi.... wait!!! STAR WARS ARCADE!!!!!!! that game rocked!!!

 

*cough* ahem...

 

anyway... what was i saying.

 

The first lucasarts game i played would indeed have been star wars arcade, in one of the cool sit-in-the-xwing machines at the seafront when i was about 5 i guess.

 

The first PC/Home game i played was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which came as part of the software bundle with my first PC. A nice 286 with 8mb of ram and a 40mb hard disk if i remember corectly.

That game was great, had a real grail diary and a code viewer (copy protection 80s style!) and everything.

 

The first LA game i really got into/loved was Tie Fighter which came in a wonderfull big black box of nice thick card. Graphics and sound blew me away. That was the first time I noticed the Lucasarts name, and after that I looked out for all their games (dark forces, indy & atlantis, infernal machine, jedi knight, etc..) until they started getting dull a few years back.

The first Lucasarts game I had was SW: The phantom menace-demo that I downloaded a while after it was released. It held the first level, if I remember right... Ah the joy of cutting battle droids into half and hear their shouts...

 

But the first that I bought was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 and Mysteries of the sith. Both on the same day and from the same dude at a flee market... Oh, and he was so nice to give me Episode 1 racer for free too :rolleyes:

I love flee markets... That's what you call those things, don't ya'? :confused:

 

Actually a day after I bought the games, I ended up in the star wars roleplaying-forum of this very same community... Oh, I love those days :D

 

When I started visiting the swamp, I was called the Roleplaying emperor... Or whatever it was. Seriously, I love you guys! *sniff* I'll just... Go back to lurk in my own little shadows now *Walks into the shadows with a sigh of joy*

I'm not quite sure, but I belive it was TIE-Fighter. I know that was our first computer game. Im not sure if we played any LucasArts games before that on SNES or NES.

Pfft. I was 8 when the N64 first came out. Now look how much that improved in 5 years.
