Damn I'm getting old. I was 7 when I played this game (oh and remember bionacles). It was all the hype with Gameboy back in the day... I'm sure you can imagine but now I'm 35 years old and my God has the time flown by... I'm married and have two sons aged 10 and 8 now. As a gamer Dad it's weird that they play modern games I've never heard of, but all be damned i get them to farm stuff for me in WoW lol. Still have my NES and N64 originals/PS1/2 GameCube (loved freedom fighters), and Gameboy/Gameboy color and the purple Gameboy advanced. Pokemon yellow was always my favorite. And damn so i miss Rugrats and Star Fox. Times were simpler. Also my older brother born in 88' gave me his NES he past away from suicide in 2010. Life is short we all come from different eras and technologies but thank you for reading this and i wish you good fortune. Life's hard keep going especially you old millennials.
@@jasonspringer1 Taking damage shaves off a huge amount of health, and the platforming is so broken. Not to mention that if one of you're characters die, they're gone for good (like with TMNT on the NES).
Ah man, I remember back in the day, when I randomly got the light saber I had a field day. But getting the distance right with it was a bit of a challenge without getting hit. Also, I was paranoid on using Han and Leia. Once you die with them, that's it. Those nine lives you racked up mean nothing, only counts for Luke.
I got a Game Boy for Christmas in 1998 with this game and some game I had never heard of called Pokemon Blue. Spent two hours on Christmas playing this until I gave up, put in Pokemon, and fell in love.
God, this brings back memories. Never did manage to beat it (I could make it all the way to the trench run, then Darth Vader's TIE continually handed my ass to me), but it sure was a great time-killer!
When i was a child i am playing this game and it always reminds me the sentence "its not my fault sir please dont dictivate me" i then came up an idea to search this game today here in yt. I was surprise to see it here and for more than 20 yrs now i understand that the right sentence is "its not my fault sir please dont deactivate me". I also search in dictionary the word dictivate because i am certain that when i was a child i read it as dictivate and not deactivate. Now i realise there is word dictivate hahaha. Childhood memories really awesome hahaha
This Game brings me Fond memories of my childhood, remembering getting han solo for the first time, listening to the Bar Tune soundrack of star wars as the same as the film, so when I watch the new hope and Obi wan meets han solo for the first time in the bar (tatooine) it reminds me to this game everytime!
I swear I never remember meeting Obi Wan as a kid. I remember that thing chasing you in the speeder. Id get so lost. And i could never make it past the asteroid field. I thought you had to shoot them lol
Over two and a half decades later I'm beginning to understand how this game, battletoads and super mario land caused long term childhood trauma (the latter not because of difficulty but the AA batteries running out) This star wars game was a nightmare. Don't remember beating it. Still an immense sense of shame i will carry with me for the rest of my days 😂
You make using the lightsaber look so easy. The range on it was SO short! I see you found the same Asteroid Field trick I did... just point to a bottom corner and stay there! I never knew about the hidden walkways inside cave walls. I found Leia a few times, deactivated the tractor beam, but almost always got lost after that. The times I made it to the trench run, I always got toasted.😂
Never 100% completed this game but it was a lot of fun in some cases. xD Also, I tend to speak to Obi Wan when low on health. When he says "The Force is powerful", you immediatley gain full health 😄
I'm so glad everyone else here has trauma from this game. That asteroid section was evil, until you find you just have to stick to the bottom left of the screen and you'll avoid just about all the asteroids. Hell of a game for 3-5 year old to being playing as his first gaming experience, I can tell ya that much.
I was just noticing this. I'm watching both the GB and NES versions side-by-side and the NES version has a different soundtrack. Looks like an issue of space on the cartridge.
I still own this game from when i had it as a kid, I remember having an issue beating the trash compactor boss but once i got past that part i beat it pretty quick. I was disappointed that you couldn't play Obi-wan from the character party screen.
As a kid I beat this game so many times that I could even do it blindfolded. Recently I pick the game as an adult and I couldn't believe how hard it was! I don't understand how my younger self could master such a difficult game
i always died @ 17:32 😬 the thing i hated most was how dying at that part resulted in a game over reguardless of how many lives you had left... WAIT. THERE WAS A LIGHT SABER!? of all my attempts i never once found that...
0:32 is that the original 1977 theatrical crawl or the modern one with "Episode IV - A NEW HOPE" also the 8 bit main theme sounds like the high tone version from UK VHS releases.
This was the first gameboy game i ever got. I got it for Christmas along with a silver Gameboy pocket. I sucked at this game though, never made it very far
Something that would have fixed gameplay quite a lot would be making the lightsaber swing just like Link's sword in Link's Awakening or the Oracle games. I understand that they only had A Link to the Past to refer to during the development phase, but is it really that much of a stretch to make it a 3-frame swing?
Imagine that Star Wars Rebels season 4 ending was made in Game Boy where Ezra Bridger meets again Darth Vader(that he realized that he was Anakin Skywalker) and Ahsoka Tano after he defeated for the second time Thrawn after he Free Lothal
Similar to Super Star Wars for SNES with the Land of the sand people stage when you drop down the second cliff and go to the left and collect lives and fall off and rinse recycle and repeat until you get to 99 lives.
I could never finish this because I didn’t know how to find obi wan.l to get the light saber...I would get up to the trash compactor and shoot it with Han or Leia until it killed me
Never passed over the trash compactor boss, I think you need the lightsaber to kill it and since I never found Obi Wan I could only use the blaster. I knew it was meant to be played with a lightsaber, damn, I never enjoyed the game properly
This was my first video game ever. I remember I could get through a few of them but not very many. Also had it on Super Nintendo. I think that one was even worse from what I remember. Still cool though. Star Wars used to be an entirely different thing.
@@ReincI don't know any more (used to) but you can collect up to 8 shields for the Falcon before you leave Tatooine. I usually left with 5 or 6 (same as you) but I know you picked up some that I never did and missed some that I usually got. Regardless, this was a very impressive run through!
@@Reinc I checked a few places for maps for this and the NES version (same game actually) and there's no map charted out (yet). edit: Wait, you got 100%, how could you be missing anything?
Some say this man is the only person who ever beat this game
I can safely say I did. It was one of the five games I had on GB as a child
I beat this game too. Wasn't easy but managed to do it lol
Damn I'm getting old. I was 7 when I played this game (oh and remember bionacles). It was all the hype with Gameboy back in the day...

This game really determines if you are a normal person or one with the force. It was so hard.
There has to be a third option because I am absolutely not normal but according to this game, I am 0.0% with the force.
This game was so hard, I never beat it.
I know right
Yeah I remember getting so pissed off at this damn game lol
Never played it. What makes it so hard
@@jasonspringer1 Taking damage shaves off a huge amount of health, and the platforming is so broken.

Same my 5 year old comes up to me and shows where he made it to the Death Star! I was amazed 20 plus years later and I couldn’t get that far
I played this game for my entire childhood and I never even got close to beating it 🤣❤️ good memories though!

Good times
Game was fucking evil in my childhood
This game was sooooo fucking hard
Cantina theme goes hard.

Epic! The day i finished the game i knew i was the chosen one :))))))
Thank you so much! I finally got to see the ending of this ridiculously hard game!
I swear I never remember meeting Obi Wan as a kid. I remember that thing chasing you in the speeder. Id get so lost. And i could never make it past the asteroid field. I thought you had to shoot them lol
I still have a copy. Id only just get passed the tractor beam disable.
This game kicked my ass as a kid so hard, and it barely takes you a half hour to beat it?
Over two and a half decades later I'm beginning to understand how this game, battletoads and super mario land caused long term childhood trauma (the latter not because of difficulty but the AA batteries running out)
This star wars game was a nightmare. Don't remember beating it. Still an immense sense of shame i will carry with me for the rest of my days 😂
There's still time. Buy a Gameboy and finish it haha
Gaaahhdd this game brings back so many memories!!
Same
Never got passed the millennium falcon stage...just got killed by asteroids....

This is amazing I haven't played this for almost 30 years
Playing this game on GameBoy really hurts my eyes. Looking on the small hazy green screen all day to finish the game 😁👍🏻
Never 100% completed this game but it was a lot of fun in some cases. xD Also, I tend to speak to Obi Wan when low on health. When he says "The Force is powerful", you immediatley gain full health 😄
Omg I was 10 when this and never even knew that was a thing! I never beat it haha
i can gladly say i have beaten this game hard as nails though
I played this game in my younger days & did beat it. Instead of having Luke in the X Wing, I had Princess Leia in the X Wing & beat the game.
I played this game so many times but my game had a glitch in the Death Star and so I stuck forever… still traumatized 😅
I'm so glad everyone else here has trauma from this game. That asteroid section was evil, until you find you just have to stick to the bottom left of the screen and you'll avoid just about all the asteroids.

Such a nostalgic game yet hard af
This brought back memories
Dodging asteroids with the cantina band music?
I was just noticing this. I'm watching both the GB and NES versions side-by-side and the NES version has a different soundtrack. Looks like an issue of space on the cartridge.
Ohh I remember beating this game several times. The hardest part was the death stat labyrinth.
Thousands and hours spent on this game
I still own this game from when i had it as a kid, I remember having an issue beating the trash compactor boss but once i got past that part i beat it pretty quick. I was disappointed that you couldn't play Obi-wan from the character party screen.
Includeds a imperial march gbc soundtrack?
Very difficult. Suddenly sounds like a good time however.that was a fun watch
El premio por pasarte el juego era, miopia, astigmatismo, presbicia y pesadillas con el juego viendo una pantalla. Nunca me lo pasé, todavía veo bien.
As a kid I beat this game so many times that I could even do it blindfolded. Recently I pick the game as an adult and I couldn't believe how hard it was! I don't understand how my younger self could master such a difficult game
13:10
That apostrophe is in the *WRONG* place!! It's supposed to be between the u & r, *NOT* the r & e!!!
Most of us didn't understand English when were playing this game, so an apostrophe wouldn't hurt us like that.
i always died @ 17:32 😬
the thing i hated most was how dying at that part resulted in a game over reguardless of how many lives you had left...
WAIT. THERE WAS A LIGHT SABER!? of all my attempts i never once found that...
Aquí está mi infancia resumida en un video, pero la verdad nunca logre pasar el segundo universo 😂 que triste
Podria jurar que habia un combate contra darth vader en este juego, no recuerdo bien, hora de descargar un emulador.
I remember if i gave my gameboy a small whack the game would glitch so i went straight from Mos Eisley to the trench run..happy times
I didn't care how bad it was still played the hell out of it because it was Star Wars.
The asteroid part was complete bullshit. It was impossible to survive, I never understood how to beat it
Got as far as rescuing princess Leia & that's about it before running out of lives.
0:32 is that the original 1977 theatrical crawl or the modern one with "Episode IV - A NEW HOPE" also the 8 bit main theme sounds like the high tone version from UK VHS releases.
I couldnt last 1 min in this game when I was 7 lol and you finished it in 34 min!!! wow
This was the first gameboy game i ever got. I got it for Christmas along with a silver Gameboy pocket. I sucked at this game though, never made it very far

People say it was hard to beat, never played it since I'm Gen Z, but I'm just amazed by the graphics, amazing.
Im also gen z, I just ordered this game off of eBay so I can play it on my IPS screen modded gameboy
Used to play this on my gb pocket
I could never get passed the 3rd level when I played this as a kid it was confusing
This game was so hard, but I beat it.
@12:50 the sprite for Obi Wan is so ridiculous, looks like a skeleton or IG-88
First game I played when I got first GameBoy Advanced 2003
Imagine that Star Wars Rebels season 4 ending was made in Game Boy where Ezra Bridger meets again Darth Vader(that he realized that he was Anakin Skywalker) and Ahsoka Tano after he defeated for the second time Thrawn after he Free Lothal
Would love to play this on perhaps the GameCube Gameboy player
6:20 recuerdo que en esta parte siempre entraba y salía una y otra vez de la misma cueva para tener muchas vidas 😂😂
Similar to Super Star Wars for SNES with the Land of the sand people stage when you drop down the second cliff and go to the left and collect lives and fall off and rinse recycle and repeat until you get to 99 lives.
I remember playing this on my Gameboy SP when I was like 7, now I'm 21. Time flies for us too, plus I'm pretty fuckin high rn.
Dont use drugs. Find Allah, or Jesus, or become one with the Divine Yaweh, or Lord Shiva, or Buddha, or whoever. Help is out there.
Don't do drugs. Master Yoda does not approve.
What's the purpose of the Millennium Falcon tokens?
Fuck this game I almost beat it. So difficult no password or whatever checkpoint
So many memories
How do we beat this part ( 2:45) I’m struggling 😢
Having the cantina music playing during the asteroid field level makes it seem like the game is making fun of you for hitting asteroids
Quite well they have put almost everything here whaat the nes version had. Fps is slower, but its understandable
i finished it
What a dreadfully terrible game this was no wonder I never beat it
I could never finish this because I didn’t know how to find obi wan.l to get the light saber...I would get up to the trash compactor and shoot it with Han or Leia until it killed me
Ubisoft and Capcom
me at 6 years old: i have no idea what i'm doing
Never passed over the trash compactor boss, I think you need the lightsaber to kill it and since I never found Obi Wan I could only use the blaster. I knew it was meant to be played with a lightsaber, damn, I never enjoyed the game properly
Looks like Ubisoft has been failing Star Wars for quite some time.
I hope someone would put this game on android phone...
hardest game ever...
i will beat this game

The Cantina theme in Millenium falcon is so out of place.
Bad run through, missed all kinds of stuff in the opening area... there are many caves with items in them to get before you enter the Jawa vehicle.
Really? Is there a video or a map that shows all those items and caves you are talking about?
@@ReincI don't know any more (used to) but you can collect up to 8 shields for the Falcon before you leave Tatooine. I usually left with 5 or 6 (same as you) but I know you picked up some that I never did and missed some that I usually got.
