I just wanted to say that your delivery has gotten so good. Not that it was ever bad but you can really tell you’ve gotten more comfortable with the format over the course of time. Love the vids man!
I always love the history you present with each game you master. I've beaten many games that you've reviewed, but this one was a catastrophe for me, even with save states on an emulator. Very fun to watch you see it through. This is a fantastic channel by the way. I've watched nearly everything, including the massive Final Fantasy two-parter. I'll turn 40 this year, so I grew up on Intellivision, then Nintendo at like age 6. Watching your videos is like nostalgia in the purest form. Thank you for all your research and hard work.
Just turned 40 myself. Such a great time to grow up with gaming as a whole. I’ve gone from watching my brothers play games like punch out and Metroid and trying to play to now trying to get my kids interested in Metroid dread and breath of the wild. The music from these NES games hits my nostalgia so hard
Dude I legit was on a nastalgia kick trying to find guides for this game last night! I just wanted to see someone do a deap dive and I cant believe THE VERY NEXT DAY you post this video!! Thank you YCBVG!!
I never realized how cool this game was. I remember playing it as a kid but not getting very far. To me this is an incredible feat that they managed to fit so much depth and art into an 8 bit game!
38:47 I believe C-3P0 was referring to surviving an astroid field. Here is a technique for surviving the astroid field: move the Falcon into one of the upper or lower corners then immediately go in the opposite direction or corner when you see the astroids. That way you have a continuous motion, maintain better control of the D-pad, and minimize the damage. Thanks for the upload.
Great video! It took me so long to complete this game when I was in elementary school, yet I still didn't know about a few secrets here. Just a few things I noticed: - You can use your lightsaber to lift the energy orbs, 1-ups and shields to make them fall down. This is useful in Mos Eisley, as you can remove energy orbs in your way if your HP is full. If you need them later, you can come back, as they will respawn, but the enemies won't. - In the room with the Beam, you can either keep climbing up the ladders and shooting it while jumping, or, if you cut it down with the lightsaber, you need to make sure it won't fall on your head, so you will either have to avoid it or cut it again. Another way is that you shoot it once then hit it with the lightsaber to destroy it straight away. - In the trash compactor, if you hit it from beneath you with the lightsaber, it will bounce up and you will have to hit it again. Otherwise, it would kill you in one hit. - In the last platforming level, you don't need Leia to do the jump. You can avoid landing on the platform and just hold left until you fall down to a platform in the spikes. If you haven't touched the ground after you flew up, you can get down there without taking fall damage and continue to go up from there. - In the very last stage, you can spam the A button for the rockets if the TIE Fighters come behind you, as it is able to hit them them. - You can also 100% the game without even collecting a single shield.
I love the channel, I admit sometimes I don’t watch the entire video but I enjoy your openings and facts and history of the games you do. Keep up the good work!
wow, i've played this game so many times and I never even got to obi wan. Nice work with everything you got going on here, I love the dog bit and the excerpts from the strategy guide. keep it up, friend.
OH man, this one had me in nostalgia town. The spike level with the jump lifts was the area that nearly broke controllers. Going through that area by trial and error chewed up most of the continues with me. But, the joy of finishing it was great.
This is the game I've been hoping you would cover ever since I discovered your channel all the way back at the TMNT episode. I beat this game as a kid after many, many failed attempts and still regard this as one of the toughest NES games I've actually completed. I am so hyped to see you show off all the things I likely missed.
My family moved when I was in sixth grade and all of my stuff was in storage. The only game we had was Super Star Wars, which we got for Christmas. Everything else was in storage. My brother and I played it so much that we got to The point where it wasn’t hard anymore. I remember thinking it was hard when I first tried it, but then it got so easy that it was hard to remember it being hard. Then I just tried it again recently and MAN. That game is brutal.
I was oe of those who got this instead of a Super NES for Christmas that year but I wasn't disappointed. This game kept me playing for hours and hours every day for a solid year trying to beat it. Never was able to beat it as a kid, even with the Game Genie. Even now I have to use an emulator with cheat codes AND save states to get past the asteroid field. I got VERY good at the caves, sandcrawler and Mos Eisley, though. Another video well done, good sir.
Interesting how the game lets you know the percentage of how much you accomplished at the end. Games really didn’t tell you that kind of information very often back then.
I love this channel, you've done so many of the games I dealt with growing up, sometimes I get pissed off at some of the stuff you show me, that I didn't know. It would be sick ,I mean since you have done deja vu, to do Shadow gate.. keep up the good work.
I was not familiar with this Star Wars game, but once again, you've created an absolutely enjoyable & informative video!! Best gaming channel on TH-cam, hands down!!!!
Absolutely loved this. I don’t think I ever made it past the Death Star. I remember glitching through a Death Star wall when I was a kid once and never could do it ever again. Can’t wait to see your NES Empire Strikes Back video.
There was a comment on one of the earlier videos calling you the Bob Ross of video games. Yea. It fits. These weekly guides are such a great way to begin a day off.
I got recommended one of your videos, and you've quickly become one of my favorite channels on here. Kind of reminds me of video game tip shows in the 90s. Also can't believe how good you are at these games, thank you so much for sharing these videos ! Would love to see a Super Star Wars one, that game always wrecked me.
Again. There's another game I beat like a billion times, and still you found something I didn't know. For example, I knew about the secret passage in the Obi Wan's cave but not the one in the purple one. Good stuff man. BTW I have a little tip for you: during the first person X-Wing level, if you keep flying up and right and keep shooting, you can easily kill a lot of Tie Fighters.
I remember exploiting a glitch in one of the versions of this game (I think it was the Master System version) where after Han Solo dies, you go back into Mos Eisley and pick him up again, and he would have an empty life meter, but it wasn't flashing to indicate he was near death. This is because while he wasn't totally invincible, he had roughly 40 or so meters worth of extra health so long as you never picked up any of the health items, which makes him nearly invincible.
I borrowed this game from a friend back in the day. I could never beat it, though I did get to the trench run once or twice. Watching this video now makes me realize how little I knew about the game. The video also makes me realize how good this game looks. Everything looks like it should, everything is identifiable, and the unique stuff doesn't look out of place.
Fantastic playthrough, I saved this one in case I'm going to replay this gem after so many years (I kinda feel like it already). The screenshots on the left add that nostalgia, reminding of the old magazines. Love all the informative comment as well.
I distinctly remember how some friends and I cracked this one over a rental weekend and I was the only one who hadn’t seen the film[s] as of yet. Suffice it to say, I was very nonplussed.
Nice playthrough! For the X-Wing section, I believe you can move your target crosshair on the top-right corner of the screen and hold down the fire button. You might take some damage, but you'll definitely destroy more tie fighters!
I told my wife watch UCBVG is going to do Star Wars and Guardian Legend this year. You did both in a row. She wants to see Milon’s Secret Castle. I’d love to see Empire Strikes Back. Played so much of it as a kid could never get past Dagobah. Got the Limited Run Games Empire for Christmas. Can’t wait to play and hopefully with your help beat it.
I’ve been binge watching this channel all week it’s reliving my childhood. I really hope you do Milons secret castle one day. Man that game tortured me back in the day lol (I always confuse it with adventure island for some reason too).
Haven't heard these tunes in SOOOO long :) Proud to be able to say that I beat this game's ass back in the day, but Tie Fighter for the PC was a different story entirely, many a joystick was ruined on that one! Loving the channel btw great blast from the past.
I'm late this week! UCBVG I really think you should do longer history videos on series as well as let's plays! They are the best! Thank you for the entertainment.
Thanx once again for a great vid. Got this game as a kid when my niece didnt olay anymore. Never got to the millenium falcon. Now i beat it with this video
Excellent video. Still have my SW game since 1991 in nearly mint condition. I didn't know those secret passages in the caves and inside the Death Star. I normally finish this game in 50 minutes, but with those secrets, it will take me less. Tnak you so much.
2:10 Actually, the Star Wars game we know DID come out in Japan. Yes, there are two Famicom Star Wars games in Japan: the Namco version and the "Victor" version (JVC is simply called "Victor" in Japan since JVC literally means "Japan Victor Company").
I can't believe I never stumbled across a copy of this at the flea market or game stores back in the day. I'll have to order some more of the games you've played so I can use all your tricks!
My parents got me a Game Gear instead of a Super Nintendo, and Star Wars was one of my favorite games on it. And today I learned that Obi Wan can revive Han and Leia in that version also (no idea where my Game Gear is now but I looked it up). I just used Luke most of the time when I played it.
I did it! Goddamn, been tryna beat this game since I was like, 7 I learned ur channel/this guide months ago, it took ages to put this knowledge into a succesfully played run; thank you for the assistance
This is a great video! I played this game for the Game Gear as a kid, and the GG version was a little different. You start as Leia on the Tantive IV, then they cut out a lot of the caves. Plus they swapped out a few sound ex. Also, I think there is a way to take out the indestructible purple guy from the cantina in the GG version. It was something really weird, like hit him once with Hans blaster and then immediately switch to Luke and slash him with the lightsaber. Plus I think you had to hit him in the back. I may not be remembering correctly, but it was some kind of convoluted thing to pull off 😂 This game is hard but fun and has a lot of charm. I loved some of the music. And the ship graphics always intrigued me. All of those weird ships in the docking bay made my imagination run wild!
I remember getting so excited when I saw this for the first time as a kid growing up at my local rental place but never made it past the Death Star. I'd be careful playing the NES version of Empire though- that game is an assault on the eyes and ears!
Man I would love to do a live with you sometime haha. I play all this stuff in crazy quad head to head format. Once again loved the episode keep up the great work. Retro for life.
Finished this one a few times, but I remember in the Death Star I had to sacrifice a life to reach certain spot. Your video makes the death star level looks so easy. For me it was the hardest.
At 24:12 you can climb the ladder if you run fast enough from right to left and time your jump correctly. I think that you might have to talk to obi-wan a few times first though... I do not remember, ot has been so long since I played this.
1991 I bought this from Child's Palace on McKnight Road in North Pittsburgh on my Winter Break from my freshman year of college. The land speeder level was a disappointment, but it got better. Still have it...box and all :)
Awesome vid! I'll keep that in mind next time I play Star Wars on NES - A game that could very well be Beam's best on the NES. But this is but one battle the Rebel Alliance has won, for there's still the Empire Strikes Back on NES.
One tip for the elevator shortcut: You don’t even have to mash. It turns out that the input is buffered, so all you have to do is hold up while you’re falling :)
I replayed the game back in 2008 since I've purchase d it at a local toy store back in "93". I finally beat it, but very time consuming and never ending picking up shields for the Falcon.
Lucas Arts 1 needs to make point and click games again.. they are missed.. Keep up the content and keep pumping out the 8bits that continue to inspire games that are created now.. thank you for your time in creating videos of games that so many people experience in their childhood.
Crazy! I was just randomly thinking about this game. This game was my Saturday morning as a kid. I never knew you could obtain the light saber. I could never pass the asteroid level. You gotta make the empire strikes back for the nes next.
This was so hard I could only beat it as an adult and with maps. Still one of my favourite movie-based games on the NES. Along with Batman and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Maybe you’ll do that one day.
Great video, as always, now that you mentioned Beam Software, I would love a video on ShadowRun for the SNES, that is an underrated game, every now and then I replay it again.
One thing that sets you apart from other longplays: you explain what the hell the items are and what they do. Thanks for that.
The thing that sets him apart and puts him head-and-shoulders above the rest is doggo
@@davidgriffin9247 agreed doggo is awesome 😊
Lol what sets him apart from longplays is he doesn’t do longplays, actually. 🤨
I just wanted to say that your delivery has gotten so good. Not that it was ever bad but you can really tell you’ve gotten more comfortable with the format over the course of time. Love the vids man!
Totally agree!
Siskel and Egbert give 2 thumbs up
Agreed, I love the personality it ads to the videos!
@@homealone3182 ?
While I agree that you're right, I love that he has just the right amount of cheesiness too. It's fun, and why I keep coming back for more.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a TH-cam channel that has such a supportive audience. I think everyone wants this channel to succeed for some reason.
Yeah, it’s nice to see some positivity online, but this guy has earned it. The videos are legit!
I know I definitely do

Yes, surviving navigation of am asteroid field/belt *_During The Empire Strikes Back, not A New Hope_*
Amazing video, I hope you'll do Dracula's Curse soon. I'd say we're overdue for Castlevania III!
Fact!
I agree
Agreed!
Anything specific about “Curse” you need help with in particular?
The last time I played this game in the 90s, I was furious at the asteroid field part. Never played it beyond it sadly. Highly underrated game though.
Great video!

It’s amazing how difficult the Star Wars games on both the NES and SNES. Great game but man I was frustrated many times on both systems.
My family moved when I was in sixth grade and all of my stuff was in storage. The only game we had was Super Star Wars, which we got for Christmas. Everything else was in storage. My brother and I played it so much that we got to
The point where it wasn’t hard anymore. I remember thinking it was hard when I first tried it, but then it got so easy that it was hard to remember it being hard.

Yess! I was waiting for this. This was one of the most difficult games on the nes. But all thanks to UCBV for all of its badass guides!
You are literally the Nintendo Power of TH-cam.

"rodians...we need to shoot first against those guys"
had me dying!!!!! :)
i love ur sense of humor!!!
This dude deserves more subs.
Always entertaining. Even when I've never played the game. 👍
I'm just so happy to see your Golden Retriever pup looking happy and healthy. I hope you're given many more years together 😊
I was not familiar with this Star Wars game, but once again, you've created an absolutely enjoyable & informative video!!

My favorite game. Beat it countless times. Yet, you just taught me 6 secrets I never knew! Thank you!

These videos are my new favorite TH-cam indulgence.
I distinctly remember how some friends and I cracked this one over a rental weekend and I was the only one who hadn’t seen the film[s] as of yet. Suffice it to say, I was very nonplussed.

8:45 why do the lasers sound like Gauntlet??
I really enjoyed this game as a kid but it pushed my limits. Thanks for making this video!

You nailed it when you said "if you have turbo" which I have with the 2 Advantage controllers I have. One for each system.
This man takes in Star Wars! Mad respect. And I love your vids sir!
One of the best series I n TH-cam right now! Keep up the amazing work!
I genuinely look forward to these videos every week.
Your mastery of these games is amazing!
God I only tried it briefly on emu before giving up, no patience for this. Props.

Love all these deep dives - do Cobra Triangle next!
Awesome video! This was one of my favorites growing up!
Thank you brother this game was always so tough for me as a kid.
I can't believe I never stumbled across a copy of this at the flea market or game stores back in the day. I'll have to order some more of the games you've played so I can use all your tricks!
My parents got me a Game Gear instead of a Super Nintendo, and Star Wars was one of my favorite games on it. And today I learned that Obi Wan can revive Han and Leia in that version also (no idea where my Game Gear is now but I looked it up). I just used Luke most of the time when I played it.
I did it! Goddamn, been tryna beat this game since I was like, 7
I learned ur channel/this guide months ago, it took ages to put this knowledge into a succesfully played run; thank you for the assistance
This is a great video!
I played this game for the Game Gear as a kid, and the GG version was a little different. You start as Leia on the Tantive IV, then they cut out a lot of the caves. Plus they swapped out a few sound ex.
Also, I think there is a way to take out the indestructible purple guy from the cantina in the GG version. It was something really weird, like hit him once with Hans blaster and then immediately switch to Luke and slash him with the lightsaber. Plus I think you had to hit him in the back. I may not be remembering correctly, but it was some kind of convoluted thing to pull off 😂
This game is hard but fun and has a lot of charm. I loved some of the music. And the ship graphics always intrigued me. All of those weird ships in the docking bay made my imagination run wild!
Awsome review!!! I hope you can make one for the Empire Strikes Back and the rest of the SNES versions as well! Keep up the great work!!!
I remember the day we finally beat this game. It was me and one of my brothers just learning more about the game every day with just constant runs.
Love your videos man! Keep them up!
Great video! It seems like a lot of work to push these out every week.
I remember getting so excited when I saw this for the first time as a kid growing up at my local rental place but never made it past the Death Star. I'd be careful playing the NES version of Empire though- that game is an assault on the eyes and ears!
Man I would love to do a live with you sometime haha. I play all this stuff in crazy quad head to head format. Once again loved the episode keep up the great work. Retro for life.
You make these super hard games look easy. Nice job!!
Yay! I've been waiting all morning!
Finished this one a few times, but I remember in the Death Star I had to sacrifice a life to reach certain spot.
Your video makes the death star level looks so easy. For me it was the hardest.
You blazed through this game just like Beggar's Canyon back home!
This game was brutal…May the force be with you this morning UCBVG
Yay! This is favorite weekly show! 💜💜💜💜
Man, I wish I knew all this as a kid. This game was brutal to beat!
At 24:12 you can climb the ladder if you run fast enough from right to left and time your jump correctly. I think that you might have to talk to obi-wan a few times first though... I do not remember, ot has been so long since I played this.
I always loved this game.
It's just like Battletoads, brutal but brilliant!!
Thank you for your valuable time and effort. Keep up the good work. 😊💪👊
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great Video!
Keep up the Great Work
Thank U 4 this one. See ya'll again next week. And may the force B with U.
NES Star Wars was one of my favorite games as a kid.
1991 I bought this from Child's Palace on McKnight Road in North Pittsburgh on my Winter Break from my freshman year of college. The land speeder level was a disappointment, but it got better. Still have it...box and all :)
Awesome vid! I'll keep that in mind next time I play Star Wars on NES - A game that could very well be Beam's best on the NES.

Great another Saturday watching playthroughs.
this game was ridiculously hard. i never beat it haha. you should do ESB next! oh man or super ESB which is really hard but so good!
This was as entertaining as it was insightful may the force be with you👍
Thanks!
Absolute banger of a soundtrack on this game. Today, I learned.
You make dealing with that Spike Room Of Doom look easy. Bravo.
"... there's a large mouthed cavern that is purple and quite massive in size." 19:06 hahahahahahaha I'm dead.
Those FPP levels were my favourite when I was a child :D
This was so hard I could only beat it as an adult and with maps. Still one of my favourite movie-based games on the NES. Along with Batman and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Maybe you’ll do that one day.
Great video, as always, now that you mentioned Beam Software, I would love a video on ShadowRun for the SNES, that is an underrated game, every now and then I replay it again.
The pixel art in this game is really good.
I gotta go get out that Nintendo power and look over this again. Love the artwork and design from that era of the magazine!
