In the 'Phantom Menace' tie-in game, I always assumed the creature you fought on Tatooine was some kind of feral Wookiee. Also I will NOT stand for this Malakili slander, that guy is great and seeing him cry over the Rancor broke my heart as a kid.

@spiraljumper74 3 күн бұрын

I remember being a little kid and thinking, “oh, the Rancor was his dog.” 😭And then being really mad at Luke because he clearly could’ve just shut the door earlier and been totally safe instead of waiting until it would kill the Rancor.

I'm not gonna lie, the idea of Jedi Power Battles NOT being intended as a co-op game has never even crossed my mind in my entire life. Maybe it's just because it was one of the video games my mom would actually play with me, but I've always imagined that as one of those early multiplayer games PS1 had like crash bash where you could play with your friends on one tv before online gaming ruined human civilization forever. The way the scores are displayed was another thing. It made you feel like you were competing for the higher score, rather than only focusing on teamwork. All of your struggles you'd described made perfect sense to me knowing that you were playing solo. Your memories of phantom menace are almost identical to mine, but I know I used the cheat codes to get to those levels and never got there on my own. Still, I thought it was the coolest game ever as a five year old when it came out.

Pretty sure the beast in Mos Espa is a Yuzzum, first appearing in the book Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Similar to wookies.

Oh good call, I assumed because it was acting like a mindless creature that is must have been non-sentient, but Yuzzum makes a lot of sense. My only idea was a forgotten creature called a Trompa lol

I love that Phantom Menace game so good and very memeable i probably prefer the PS1 version over PC cause it does have a god mode cheat while the PC doesnt. I will agree with many that the Dreamcast version of Jedi Power Battles is the superior version, it came out after the PS1 version and they made a few improvements and fixes to the game after feedback especially with Darth Maul only having 1 single blade rather than 2 for his dual blade saber when you play as him. Big Ape Productions were the ones who made the infamous Simpsons Wrestling.

I remember Jedi power battles and i was able to beat it FIVE TIMES and suffer all the way through without cheats as this was only one of 4 games i owned at the time. I didn’t know there were cheats till much later. The hardest was plo koon fighting maul the second time. My suffer was just from the fact i wanted to get all three rewards. This game is why i won’t play souls games. I can’t do it again. Also the is the hardest boss in the game is won by hit and run tactics

There is no wolf3d code in Dark Forces 1. The engine is more than a generation ahead of what the Wolfenstein engine could do. There are three generations of those early, not truly 3d shooter engines. Wolfenstein marks the first generation, being a totally flat world, just ground and walls located using bitmaps as maps. The second generation is Doom and all it's clones. Where you have 45 degree walls and elevation, but limited height and no ability to have one room above another one (fake z-coordinates). The Jedi-Engine, together with Duke Nukem 3d is part of the last of those not-really 3d 3d-engines, before quake brought us real 3d. The Jedi engine has way more capabilities in terms of verticality than all i.d. software games to that point.

Ahh. PS1 Phantom Menace. I remember me and my brother standing around the corner as Obi, where you're final duel with Maul is, just out of his line of sight and just shooting the fuck out of him with every weapon we acquired throughout the game, looking at his health bar to see if we were aiming at the right spot. We tried to do it the legit for a whole day. Literally the only way to beat him for us was to cheese. And we ran outta ammo and had to Saber him a few times and we even died allot doing that lol. Game's like Tomb Raider and Diablo had a shitty Star Wars kid. I love it.
