Phantom Menace for PS1 (aka Gungan Murder Simulator '99) - FLANDREW

[@Joshybeast]

I remember playing this game as a kid. There was an NPC on Tattoonie on the streets that yelled “YOU BETTER STAND BACK BECAUSE I’M ABOUT TO SLASH” I whipped out my lightsaber and killed him right there. As he fell to his death he finished his voice line… “I’m about to slash ALL MY PRICES”.

This game had one of the funniest glitches I've ever seen in a video game, me and my buddy called it the "Anakin Bug" where basically on Tatooine you run and find, then kill Anakins mother early on (If I remember the sequence correctly, might be right after you meet her in the correct order of the level) then Anakin would swoop in out of nowhere and start circling your hitbox in ultra-rapid only stopping momentarily to exclaim "I won't help a murderer like you!" untill finally he dies from either your weapon or getting hit by an NPC's attack as he'd stayed glued to you as you try to traverse more of the map. There was another super funny glitch in this game where right before you talk to Anakin on the same level after having found all the podracer parts for him which naturally ends the level, you kill some innocent NPC to trigger the "I won't help a murderer like you!" dialouge again. Then killing ALL the NPC's on the map made Anakin cave in and you could finish the level anyway, good times.. good times.

[@Some1Any1No1]

I never knew killing every NPC eventually changes Anakin’s mind, that’s hilarious… must be a foreshadowing of teen Anakin Skywalker cool with killing not just the men but the women and the children too 😂

[@Starvino]

Never got past the Theed mission. Thing is, you can kill the Queen, you just have to use a rocket launcher to do it.

When I was young I’d have nightmares about the caged monster on Tatooine. That mission alone had more to do than most Starwars RPGs. It felt very immersive and the ability to do whatever you wanted and change how you complete quests (either pacifist or steamrolling) made the replayability very high. It’s a method of design praised in games like Thief and Deus Ex.

I remember the lightsaber mechanics being oddly satisfying in that game. Your lightsaber would kill enemies even after your gameover death.

Another time Obi Wan died on the floor, and as the droids starting walking about, one of them walked beside Obi Wan, tripped over the blade and died! In a PS1 game!

I'm not sure if I ever finished it, on one hand I'm positive I remember that Darth Maul fight but on the other I have a feeling my save was corrupted... But yeah, even then I could tell the developers would have preferred to make a game with an original storyline and RPG elements like choices and consequences, and that's really the saving grace of the whole thing. That and many of the levels being made with so much obvious love. I remember really hating the lightsaber combat though, the blaster bolt blocking felt random as hell, sometimes you would just eat the shots even when you were blocking, and the tank controls meant you couldn't really effectively dodge them either.

Undoubtedly, some of those levels were so frustrating that they drove me insane. The Gardens of Theed practically broke me until I found a guide for it somewhere online. This is a great channel! There's so much nostalgia for me with this late PS1 period of gaming with Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped and Resident Evil 3 standing out in particular. It was a golden age.

[@MrDibara]

DO NOT remind of the Gardens of Theed, MY GOD! If ever there was a level I just wanted you be done with... Not even the level right after where you have to escort Padmé was such a nightmare.

[@smilingsaiyan8357]

I remember being 6 or 7 yrs old and playing this lolol 😂 good times and memories earned a subscriber

[@NinjaKurosai]

I still have my Prima Official Guide for this for some reason. I absolutely loved the fact that you could just murder everyone

[@prollynotmirage]

I remember you could type “happy” in the console and your blaster would turn into a massive rocket launcher absolutely demolishing everything and everyone.

his game is an underrated jewel

[@viscountrainbows2857]

back when games let you commit infanticide. also the Theed Garden and Coruscant levels had some neat glitch areas that let you skip a good part of them. 7 year old me must have been a dam wizard

[@fernie-fernandez]

I can’t help but this game…feels like it was made by Bethesda… The explorations, dialogue options, all NPCs can be killed, and even the gameplay is kinda exploitive. It’s amazing that Bethesda has not made a deal with LucasArts for a Star Wars game…yet.

[@Rad-Dude63andathird]

What Bethesda games since Morrowind have let you kill all NPCs?

[@fernie-fernandez]

@@Rad-Dude63andathird Basically, starting with Morrowind.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

@@Rad-Dude63andathird Morrowind is the one I was thinking of actually

[@planescaped]

Same reason Bioware created Mass Effect and Dragon Age I presume, they got sick of the hefty licensing fees and meddling from Wizards of the Coast in particular and decided they'd just make their own settings, with blackjack and hookers!

[@vahlen5281]

@@fernie-fernandez And ending with Morrowind. All subsequent Elder Scrolls as well as Fallout titles are packed to the rim with essential NPCs.

[@mattlindsay]

Qui-Gon and his "The door is open, LET'S GO!" quote is something i say all the time. Actually really liked this game to be honest. That and jedi Power Battle

[@Bassmaster_UK_Band]

The door is open: _let's go._

[@beeurd]

We played this so much when I was a kid that me and my sisters still occasionally quote some of the dialogue. 😆

[@OzzyOscy]

I remember being disappointed Coruscant wasn't a level where you walk around the Jedi Temple and then a speech choice battle trying to convince the council to let you train Anakin. Incredible game though, it let me experience the world of Tatooine and Coruscant.

[@joermnyc]

Had this on PC, there’s dialog and music changes if you do go all GTA, I remember on Tattooine people started calling Qui-Gon “Killer”. I also loved the little drunk pod racer guy you needed to help (or not). The Courusant level had a glitch that let you skip a bunch of the level by falling off of part of that first landing platform (can’t remember where) and dropping into a later section of the level (the Queen warps down to you, unfortunately). There was a room with a guy in it, if you shot him, he said, “I don’t have to take this abuse” and automatic blasters pop out of the floor! Cheat codes were great, you could turn the “heavy blaster” (it was black and fired blue shots) into a freaking rapid-fire cannon (it was the same ammo the droid tanks fired! Not quite spawning a free tank like in GTA, but close enough) invincible mode, give all weapons, character switching… of course at the end the game tallies up all the times you used the cheats (it seemed to count EVERY arm cannon shot) and labels you ”Cheater”. Who cares, it was more fun blowing up half the levels!

[@danielk5780]

I remember that I always had trouble getting past the droid tank at the end of the first Theed-level, without the gun. But I didn't want to be labeled a cheater in the end credits (because I wanted to prove to my older brother that I could beat that game without cheats). I found a way, where you could enable the gun, and then load into an earlier savegame, before you activated the cheat. It would still be active (it stayed for the entire game session iirc), but you wouldn't be labeled a cheater in the end.

[@Fossilsnake]

0:08 Legend has it these guys are still in that theatre crying over Phantom Menace being a giant turd of a movie. Thanks Jar Jar

[@MillennialKiwiGamer]

Ive beaten this game so many times as a kid on PC this was a fucking brilliant video on this game.

[@Flandrew]

Thank you

[@anon_y_mousse]

This game was one of my favorites, though I was in high school when I got it. You can well imagine that Mos Espa was my favorite level of the whole game. I played it over and over. I found that if you took out all the guards first, but by luring them out into the desert one at a time with a force push, you could take out nearly the whole town completely unfettered. Just avoid Jawa's because they knew all. If you did it wrong, Padme and Anakin would say they won't help a filthy murderer. This video made me laugh so hard.

[@planescaped]

I had this for PC, and I remember playing it a lot when I was 10 for a couple weeks, I loved it for a time. I think the PC version had better graphics though, and controls apparently. The Theed escort mission was actually one of my favorites, as there were so many hidden areas and nooks, and the ambiance at the time really felt like a city being invaded, at least to 10 year old me. And I remember how amazing it felt when kid me discovered a cheat code that wasn't listed on game F A Q's (youtube autodeletes my post when I say the site for some unknown bloody reason, I can only assume the braindead stupid bots think I'm saying the F @ Gundam word), and the feeling of seeing the code I found showing up on the cheats page after I submitted it. Just a shitty red-line graphics mode but it wasn't listed anywhere!

[@rachael1090]

I played it on PC too. Hearing the voice lines in this video triggered so many memories lol. Never did finish it, I never figured out how to get through Tatooine

[@_chipchip]

The pc version was great compared to this version. Graphics were solid for the era.

[@royroblox]

Dude same. The Theed missions were the most open world type thing I had played up to that point, so fun. Added a lot of depth to the movie

[@WhoIsCalli]

Thanks for this! I loved this game as a kid. Lots of nostalgia being had while watching your review 😊

[@michaelebert9163]

Great video. Much more fun than working on that game!

[@Flandrew]

Oh wow! Michael Ebert, you were one of the lead designers on this game, right? I’d love to interview you about the marking of TPM if you don’t mind?

[@B90-y6n]

Played it on PC as a kid. For some reason it’s come wailing back from the ages to me

[@MiketheEye]

There was a glitch in Tattooine that allowed you to progress forward with the story even after slaughtering most of the town. Had a blast with this game. Wish it were rereleased somehow outside of ROMs.

[@AndrewChapman]

2:09-2:20 The PS1 adaptation of the James Bond film The World is Not Enough used film inserts too.

[@MrDibara]

I'll say, when I was a kid, this was my FAVOURITE game on the PC! This game had it all! Actions, level design, platforming, NPC interactions, soundtrack, exploration, a whole ass level that motivated me to learn English! _No, like, deadass, "Mos Espa" is what made me want to learn English like never before._ (I'm Brazilian) I just wish my current laptop still had a scandisk. I still have the CD, but what good is that if I can't even *put it* on my computer?

[@aronfejes]

For what it’s worth, you wouldn’t be able to install it on anything higher than windows xp: the installer on the cd is 16 bit and CANNOT be run. There is a fan-made installer but you’ll have to search for that, and for the cd rip online… it’s not very easy to get going, but it is fun to play!!!

[@MerkhVision]

U can buy an external CD drive that connects to your laptop via USB! Or you could just pirate it lol. Won’t even be illegal for you since u actually own the game already!

[@_Dovar_]

There may be a downloadable version somewhere and an emulator.

[@blairsmith3199]

This game is a certified banger /hood classic

[@KrommKONG]

I loved this game so much as a kid. Re bought it as an adult. And couldn’t get through that Jar Jar level. How TF did I manage it when I was 10 lol 😆

[@0saintclark0]

We managed it because it's all we did all day every day my friend. Now we don't have the time as adults to learn the exact pixel for every jumping level.

[@Alniemi]

wow im so glad someone highlights this game, I LOVED THIS GAME!

[@championkasey3969]

Being another small Creator myself I really do hope your channel grows this is really underrated and your videos are really entertaining and informative, I already gave you a like and I've subscribed so I look forward to seeing what you do in the future

The Gungan level was worth the price.

[@minicle426]

Ahh yes. The Phantom Menace. I remember the days when this movie was considered the worst thing that ever happened to the Star Wars franchise. Good times. :P

[@metalmonster34]

I LOVED this game. The dialogues, slaughtering random people , it was just fun lol. This and Jedi Power Battles were my favorite

[@ChrisGrump]

Dude, I got that game on PC as a kid. The Gungan level still induces nightmares and rage in me. I hated it. :)

[@medichampion328]

Fun fact: If you Force push the guy on Tatooine that says "Stop pooshing me!" enough times he'll just drop dead.
