Back in the early 90s, here in the UK, a company called Cheetah produced licensed joysticks based on Batman, Terminator, Alien³ and The Simpsons. They looked great but they were terrible to use, especially the Alien³ model which I really liked but was incredibly uncomfortable. I never bought one, just tried then on the shops, awful things.

Back in the day, I bought the official Xbox360 steering wheel. It made me laugh because it was called wireless. It was only wireless between itself and the Xbox. It still needed a power brick to drive the motor and another wire to connect it to the pedals.

When I sold it, I almost made my money back because it was in high demand. MS had replaced it with that awful U shaped steering wheel that you held in the air like a Wii controller. It used sensors to tell when it was tilted. I never used one but the reviews weren’t favourable as I remember.

I see what you mean. They could only afford so many lines of dialogue! 😆

13 years old, isn’t it enough? 😆

I was really excited for this on the Cube back in the day but all the reviews said it was another average Star Wars game so I decided not to risk the money.

When can we get Rogue Squadron remastered? That still looks pretty damn good today. 😊

Here a crazy idea! If you’re interested in a film or TV show, watch it. I don’t understand the premise behind rotten tomatoes, especially when this kind of thing goes on.

Took me completely by surprise that Campbell narrated the game and honestly, that kept me going.

I can’t afford / ever buy games brand new. I’ll wait for a sale as well, maybe when it’s more reasonable, like £30ish.

I remember games being really hard (or I’m just crap) back in the home micro 8bit days. Then I watch play throughs on YouTube and discover if you figured out what to do, the game could be completed in under an hour!

Quite enjoyed these first two episodes. Bit annoyed that Carrie Ann Moss got killed in the opening moments, though.

However, my nitpicking got the better of me (blame autism, I do!). A fire burning on the hull of a ship. OK. The second nitpick was when the Jedi was on the lookout with his binoculars from the 1st floor balcony. When it changed to the POV shot, the footage is quite clearly filmed from the ground.

But apart from that, I enjoyed the fights and the story is quite good so far. Hopefully the quality remains constant to the end.

The Blue Shift expansion definitely was released onto the internet, but the loading times put me off playing the game.

I swear I downloaded and played Half Life for the DC back when I had the machine. I think it was Blue Shift which was originally going to be on the DC first (as an exclusive?).

It was perfectly fine to play but I guess due to hardware limitations, the areas in which you played weren’t that large and loading times off the CD was quite slow.

I’m so nerdy, I imported the official Malaysian VideoCD of The Phantom Menace. It was more of a collectors thing. The 4:3 mpeg video wasn’t great but it did allow me to play around editing the film.

I edited together the light saber sequences from Duel of the Fates into one clip. Two things were revealed. Because the film cuts away to other battles, edited together the fight doesn’t naturally flow.

Secondly, once edited together, that’s not a lot of actual lightsabering going on in terms of time iirc.

EDITED: I Should proof read after swiping out my long text with Google keyboard!

That music and OST needs to be out today. Such a great score to emphasize almost every p throughout every episode. It’s a straight masterpiece in sound and visual design even if it could’ve used more frames at times. I never really had an issue with it though.

The soundtrack is already available on places like Spotify but it’s criminally too short at only 42 minutes long.

So Netflix can create trailers that don’t spoil every moment and actually create some intrigue.

I was a sucker for these fmv games back in the day. The more CDs the game came on the better. Bonus for lots of recognisable actors too.

Really bummed out when they cancelled 1313, I think it was part of the restructuring when Disney bought Lucasfilm.

I still watch the ten minute E3 video occasionally because I still think it looks great. Was always hoping it might get revived but I remember the news when someone noticed that Lucasfilm/Disney allowed the 1313 trademark to expire.

Another lost game. Don’t get me started on Indiana Jones either. 😂

Corrected. 👍

In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn’t returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.

So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it’s been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.

I remember SotE very well. The whole thing was a major media event by Lucasfilm. There was:

• PC and N64 game
• Tie-in novel
• Comic book series
• Soundtrack CD
• A ‘making of’ book

Essentially, everything that would’ve been released to promote a major film but this time, there was no film. I remember the making of book well as there was a picture of the game developers playing the N64 version but their hands were in cardboard boxes. The N64 hadn’t been released yet and so they had to hide the controllers from prying eyes.
