WAMPA STOMPA

That whole game was nightmare fuel.

>tfw the slow walk and the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped with it.

never got further in the game cause of that fucker

Was Dark Forces objectively a better Star Wars game? Is Kyle Katarn cuter than Dash Rendar?

>>4802743
No and no.

>the jumping on the train level

How the fuck you supposed to defeat Boba Fett in this game? Ordinarily I'd try try try again but that fucking level was so god damned long.

>>4802735
But they were optional and super slow? Don't let them out of the cage. Even the wild ones in the canyon level could never reach you if you just ignored them.

>>4802743
Dash Rendar = "We want a Han Solo story that doesn't contradict any existing continuity so it won't upset the subhumans who give us all their money for more pages of one-dimensional facts to memorize while somehow missing simple basic plot points"

>>4802625
>Laser
Blasters are most definitely not lasers. Is this what licensed material was like in the 90s?

>>4802625
I think your emulator is incorrectly configured. The text shouldn't be cut off like that.

>>4802851
Dash's character is supposed to show what Han could have been like if he hadn't come back at the end of ANH to bail out Luke, deciding to remain a smuggler.

>>4802880
HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW THE MILENNIUM FALCON HAS A HYPERDRIVE RATING OF 0.50 WHILE DASH RENDAR'S OUTRIDER IS ONLY 0.75 A LOWER NUMBER IS FASTER AND THIS WAS DEFINITELY WELL THOUGHT OUT FROM THE BEGINNING AND NOT ASS PULLED FROM THE THROWAWAY LINE, "She'll make point-five past lightspeed"

>>4802628
I thought I was the only kid that felt like that. I would just let my older brothers play these parts of the game.

>>4802880
So he's Han Solo if he were a flat character?

Though considering Han Solo developed backwards in TFA I guess he ended up being a flat character in the end anyway. It's depressing to think about how much enthusiasm I used to have for what turned out to be a shallow, garbage franchise. At least the 90's and early 00's games are fun, I guess.

>>4804023
>Going back to your old life is flat character development
It's not like anyone's ever done that irl before

>>4804051
touche, at least he still seemed like Han. It's a pity that Luke became a crazy homeless man who tried to murder his nephew in his sleep even though he refused to kill his father like Yoda and Obi-Wan wanted him to.

>>4802627
how were you supposed to hold all the buttons and move the joystick?

>>4804091
>how were you supposed to hold all the buttons and move the joystick?
I used my nose/chin

>>4804056
Kek, thats fucking great!

roar

>>4802851
>We want a Han Solo story that doesn't contradict any existing continuity
Back when they cared

>>4805569
Now there's only one tier of canon and it's good :-)

>>4802853
>Actual LucasArts developers working at the fucking ranch
>licensed
There is no legacy any longer

>>4802845

jetpack around to the different platforms in the air and keep shooting him

>>4802628

the atmosphere is amazing in that game

>>4802845
As soon as you down Boba fett, which is the easy part, you can position yourself under the slave 1 ship and not get hit by the lasers, this is a good idea on hard mode otherwise the game is too damn unforgiving. But forget that level. I was pissed last night with how badly the swoop bike level is put together. On hard mode there's no fucking way to beat it. And the bike just decides to explode whenever it wants to once you get out to the dunes.

>>4805596
Why is the blaster labeled laser here?

>>4806746
I think that's the ammo type not the weapon name. Laser is the type of shot, there are also photon, seeker, disruptor, etc. They are all shot types fired from the same blaster

>>4805623
I saved up my Disruptors or whatever the big green ball one was and seekers. Seekers for his first form, then whatever seekers and disruptors for Slave-1.

>>4806402
I hate the swoop bike level. Beating it on Jedi took nothing short of patience and a lot of retrying.

>>4802628
>>4804017
It definitely captures that left behind and alone sort of feel.

>>4802628
Work on your comedy more.

That Cliff Wampa thou

>>4807779
I sniped him with a bunch of seeker rockets. Seeing him slowly walk towards you was hell to me.

>>4802625
Wasn't there an arcade game like this? Or am I just losing it.

>>4807869
There was a Star Wars trilogy game for the arcade with an on-rails-shooting mission like Escape from Echo Base, but it was pretty different. Slightly similar visuals but more detailed, and I'm pretty sure the Wampas just threw barrels at you.

>>4807869
>>4807913

Well I looked up footage and I mis-remembered. The Wampas don't throw barrels, but they move even slower than their Shadow's of the Empire counterparts and go down much faster.
