What are some of your favorite Star Wars games?

For me, Dark Forces was the first game that truly felt like an immersive Star Wars experience. We played Tie-Fighter in college a lot and it was quite fun, but Dark Forces ultimately had more of an impact upon me. I also enjoyed Dark Forces II - I tried playing through it again but I always get stuck in the same area where I can't find a way out, even using FAQs.

I have Empire Strikes Back on cartridge for SNES; it amazed me how they had they snowspeeder and cloudcar flying levels with the SNES hardware. Quite impressive!

Another favorite of mine is Rogue Squadron for PC. It was much more immersive than Tie-Fighter since you flew missions in levels on planets.

One game I never got to play, that I figured might be a lot like Dark Forces was the Shadows of the Empire game that was on N64 (was it on PC as well?) I wish I had gotten to play that.

The pod-racing games were ok; the Dreamcast one had poor handling but the PS2 version, Racer Revenge, is quite entertaining if you like the concept.

EDIT: How could I fail to mention how awe-inspiringly bad Galaxies was. I vowed never again to purchase an MMORPG upon release. (Then later vowed never to purchase another mmorpg ever. )

I can't read that article now, but one of the best games of all time is Tie Fighter, and the Collector's CD-ROM version made it even better. It'd be awesome if LA could give the game a remake.

Episode One: Racer was quite fun too, as well as Dark Forces. It's my favourite of the old-school FPS games, with actual mission objectives and stuff.

I haven't played many SW games, to be honest.

LOL, I like most of the Star Wars games that the article seems to hate.

SNES: Love the Super Star Wars trilogy, especially ROTJ. ANH & ESB were fun except you couldn't save your place in the game ...

I also love Shadows of the Empire (N64), The Phantom Menace game for PS1 (cheesy, but I enjoyed it loads more than the movie itself! LOL), and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter for gamecube.

Unfortunately, I haven't really gotten into the PC games yet, like Knights of the Old Republic, even though they're probably the more superior games.

Everyone knows Lego Star Wars are the best of the best.

Lego Star Wars is very good. There are also some interesting Star Wars games for some of the older consoles.

I am just waiting for LucasArts to announce a Star Wars game for the Wii. It is going to happen sooner or later. Just imagine what the Light Saber battles will be like. It will be awesome!

The two KOTOR games are, in my opinion two of the best games ever made, Star Wars or not. Other than that, the Lego games are awesome and TIE Fighter was pretty cool back in the day. I also really enjoyed the old SNES games but they were devillishly hard in places.

I found LEGO Star Wars to be rather enjoyable. I also thought that the games for the SNES were also very good, as was the one for the NES.

I also thought that Rogue Squadron for N64 was good because it let me fly X-Wings, and take down At-ATs. But that last level was damn hard, I still haven't finished it yet.

lol they hated Rebel Assault II. That game was so much campy fun that if you ever find a copy you have to try it out. Terrible acting and really flimsy FMV controls via only the crappiest joysticks you can get your hands on (don't you dare think of using a nice logitech, go dig around in a trash bin from the 90s). God I loved that game. The first game on the other hand was really fucking hard but that's probably due to my terrible joystick.

The SNES titles were amazing but god were Super Star Wars and Super Empire Strikes Back hard in places. What a challenge.

My friend had the X-wing and Tie Fighter games back in the day. I could never get a feel of how to play the games but I watched him play them all the time and it was just awesome. I wish they'd recreate these games.

Just started playing Lego Star Wars II last night with a buddy of mine and holy shit it's hilarious and so much fun. Everyone should play this game.

Not really Star Wars related, but if Nintendo made a Star Fox game in the vein of X-Wing/Tie Fighter, it'd be the best SF game ever.

I have played the SNES Star Wars games and hell were they hard. Unfortunately, I've never played a single KoTR game.

Did you get your copy of Rebel Assault with a Soundblaster CD-ROM? I remember it was our first CD drive for a computer and it came with a buttload of classic games (Theme Park and Syndicate to name a few) and had this awful joystick with blue buttons on it.

I still played the game tons, though.

I can't recall how I got the game. I did have a pretty craptastic joystick with teal buttons though.
