    oh wow my mom used to play the heck out of this game when i was little.
    later she proudly told me that this was the only game she was ever able to complete.

    This game came out when I was 9 and I was obsessed! It was my intro to the Star Wars universe. I played this for hours and hours while listening to music.

    This game should be part of the free games list Windows gives along with Solitaire and Pinball.
    It's nothing special, but a lot more entertaining than those two.
    I've played it through all the 'awards'(green lightsaber, instant Force ability) and it's quite a decent way to waste time.

    I love how Clint keeps the volume level consistent. No screaming into the microphone. Perfect for falling asleep to.

    @CruxisFire 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I played this in the late 90s as a kid. I was playing the X-Wing and Dark Forces series at the time, and I STILL had a lot of fun with this. Even back then I didn't expect much from a $10 title, but it was pretty damn fun. Great review, thanks for taking me back in time.

    This game was my very first contact with the Star Wars franchise, built my hopes and dreams about the movies long before seeing the movies (poor country)
    Loved the behind the scenes of the Making magic, or simply build my own story about what the movies could be about... ahhh nostalgia hits

  • @BrianPicchi
    @BrianPicchi 10 ปีที่แล้ว +70

    Yoda and his mixed messages. When he says "Try Again" I think it's a test and you fail if you do try again, so you should just quit after that screen. That or the developer screwed up...

    • @zorkan111

      Do, or do not. There is no try.

    • @OzisApoes

      I think Yoda is being snarky. "You failed because you tried, go ahead try again. * hidden snicker *"

      But what if i just want to try the game? So confusing.

    • @jamesgrimwood1285
      @jamesgrimwood1285 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      zorkan111 "Be good or don't even bother, there's no middle" - so Luke shouldn't have spent all that time balancing on his head trying to extract his ship from the swamp. He should have just called for breakdown recovery and waited under a tree in the rain.

  • @TNGpt
    @TNGpt 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These Desktop Adventures were awesome but most of the folks I knew really did not like them at the time and I never really understood the hate until you pointed out that people saw "LucasArts" in it and were expecting a new lucasarts adventure game... and it all makes sense. For what it was, I always thought it did it very well: short bursts of star wars awesomeness in your desktop.
    Great review btw, keep up the good work LGR

  • @TheJadeFist
    @TheJadeFist 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I remember this game, and absolutely loved it. Though after a certain point, you begin to see the repeating quests and stuff, even if it was randomly generated.

  • @interghost

    For some reason, I was convinced (as a kid) that if you played through enough of the missions you'd eventually unlock "special missions" that were directly based on the movies.

  • @RyanKarolak
    @RyanKarolak 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember playing this as a kid. It wasn't anything on the same caliber as other Star Wars at the time like Dark Forces or Tie Fighter, but was fun to occasionally play around in.

    My good old grandma offered my brother and I either this game or Dark Forces II Jedi Knight back in 97 for Christmas. We nearly go with this one given I liked the box art more. But in the end we chose Jedi Knight.
    We chose well.

    i used to have so much fun playing this game as a kid(despite my dads firm conviction it contained a virus which resulted in the disk being shattered) . as a young boy obsessed with star wars i enjoyed this game immensely and it was one of the first games i played on the pc.

  • @slayerpianoman
    @slayerpianoman 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this game!! I was born on '92 and got this game before I could read, so id have to get my mom to sit with me. i pull it out occasionally, and for real it wasnt bad for a desktop time waster. I appreciated the puzzles and the ability to not only travel to dagoba, but other planets in one game. The fact that there were a couple scenarios was great because hitting new game led to a new adventure instead of just one on loop. Gotta say, most gamers freak out when when they hear the sound byte of Link opening a treasure chest. Sometimes, I geek out when I hear the starwars theme and I go back to when I finally found the locator in the AT AT on hoth in this game. Cheers, Clint, thanks for the review!

    I still have this cd buried somewhere in storage. Got it on trade for some other game I'd finished with back in the 90s, but for some reason couldn't get it to install properly and never ended up playing it. May have been a scratched disc issue if I remember.

  • @rexthesheep
    @rexthesheep 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had the shareware/demo version of the Indy game when I was little. But as far as I knew that was the full game. It blew my mind when I found out my grandpa had the full version with more to do.

  • @shamusfarmer

    The year is 2020
    Andcrhere is STILL only one trilogy.
    We can only assume that Luke Skywalker went on to kick butt and use the Force to restore order to the galaxy.
    Meanwhile his sister and her scruffy looking, nerf herder kicked butt and repaired ships throughout the galaxy and finally Leia returned to politics, helping planets establish stable governments in the wake of the collapsing Empire.
    Training Jedis and restoring order. Luke, Leia, Chewie, Han Solo, C3PO, and yes, even Lando Calrission, would finally look out among the stars and witness the grand legacy of the Skywalkers.

  • @0smundSaddler
    @0smundSaddler 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I grew up with this one, Mysteries of the Sith, and Tie-Fighter.
    Good memories, looking back at it it's just an awkward fetch quest filled action only Zelda though.
    I always enjoyed how it was randomized though.

  • @friscofunksta7528
    @friscofunksta7528 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really played this game a lot as a kid. And actually there is kinda a "goal" in this game. After a certain amount of missions (if I remember rihgt) Yoda even disappears of Dagobah and you have this special mission to rescue him (also only appeared ONCE in all the time I played). In the end you receive the green light saber. This is just my memorie...probably not 100% correct but this really happened. After this special mission it went back to normal and nothing special happened ever again, just random missions.

  • @ZPEntertainment
    @ZPEntertainment 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I remember playing tons of times with an old demo of this game and then, after... 15 years or something I got it bundled with an old copy o Shadow of The Empire! :D (if I remember correctly)
    Great, interesting diversion it is! :D

  • @MusicMan32K
    @MusicMan32K 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had this. It came bundled with the Indiana Jones one, which was pretty much the same game. While the game is a bit lackluster, it did include some Star Wars mouse cursors, sounds, and a wallpaper, which I decked out my first laptop with.

  • @VanillaBird
    @VanillaBird 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I played this years and years ago as a pretty young kid and enjoyed it a lot despite not knowing what I was doing. Our family moved from that house and around the time, I got a hand-me-down laptop to play games on from my father, so I stopped playing on that computer. Over a decade later, I always thought those memories were from a fever dream or a Chinese knockoff game.

    My grandmother had this installed on her PC and I would play it to death whenever I was over for multi day stays. Honestly, it may not be the most complex game, it is the most true to the universe game I have ever played. I'm actually looking for a copy to refresh myself from what these new movies have done to the franchise.

  • @danmanx2
    @danmanx2 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review! I had this back then and Indy's Desktop Adventures. I remember playing Indy's Adventures for HOURS. This game posed many annoyances for me since it was basically made for a low resolution screen. I ran 1024x768! Didn't anyone else?? I remember how annoyed I was and used to lower my video resolution just to play these games. Still though, extremely fun and enjoyable to play. I'm probably going to get my CDs these right now.....;-)

  • @weirdproq

    I loved the old Solitaire (before XP) because the designs of the cards were better (in my opinion), some even had animation, and I'm not sure if the newer versions of solitaire still have the bouncing cards when you win. I really liked that part.

    I got this game in a pack of six star wars games. Whats surprising is they were actually all good. This one was my favorite. Totally underrated.
