    I keep hearing how tough this game was. It was a challenge, sure, and some of the platforming was frustrating, but I actually played through the entire game the first day I played it. I seem to remember the SESB game being a bit harder, but I finished that one as well. SROTJ was (in my opinion) the easiest game of the three, but that final escape from the Death Star is BRUTAL.

    if you take your time they are not actually that hard nearly every enemy drops life refills so yo9u can pretty mush just creep through the level, the only one i never finished on sith difficulty was ROTJ but that was just because of the time limit to escape the deathstar final level

      Maybe I’m just old now 😂 I do find retro gaming to be more difficult now than I did back in the day. Perhaps it’s a patience thing 🤷‍♂️

    ESB and ROTJ are much more difficult. ANH is the easiest of the 3 hands down

      @@overwhelmed-gamer brace yourself then :) ! I still play these games to this day, i have an original console and a 27inch Sony cathodic TV. I can beat ANH (not easily but its doable) But ESB ? Get ready for mental pain, this game is brutal. Sincerely, you can at least get one cheat on for all 3 games, and its the (keep current weapon cheat) so at least if you die, you restart with the strongest weapon. Otherwise all 3 games are not even fun to play by todays standard unless you like suffering :) Good luck !

      @@longann7560 Agreed, I think the loosing your weapon is what made the game so hard. If I was able to keep that I feel like it would have been a much easier time.

    So it wasn't just us, then? Me and some chums played this on an old SNES in the mid 00s and thought it was ridiculous.
