LGR - Star Wars Yoda Stories - PC Game Review

[@angel_vii]

This game came out when I was 9 and I was obsessed! It was my intro to the Star Wars universe. I played this for hours and hours while listening to music.

[@kototera]

oh wow my mom used to play the heck out of this game when i was little. later she proudly told me that this was the only game she was ever able to complete.

[@DarthRushy]

This game should be part of the free games list Windows gives along with Solitaire and Pinball. It's nothing special, but a lot more entertaining than those two. I've played it through all the 'awards'(green lightsaber, instant Force ability) and it's quite a decent way to waste time.

[@pugpug4430]

Yeah i remember getting the dragon's heart thingy for the green saber and was blown away. this game had alot more that people gave it credit for

[@nbHawkeye]

Oh Man I remember this. I once got a Lucas Arts Collection and this was one of the Games included...man...great Memories.

[@ovwarrior]

Oh my God I was obsessed with this game when I was a kid

[@FlyBoyEnterprises]

One of my ALL time favorite PC games. I WISH I could STILL play it today...

[@qaz3000]

It us downloadable on internet archive

[@AlexMisiti]

I want to thank Yoda Stories for teaching me how to read when I was a kid.

[@CruxisFire]

I played this in the late 90s as a kid. I was playing the X-Wing and Dark Forces series at the time, and I STILL had a lot of fun with this. Even back then I didn't expect much from a $10 title, but it was pretty damn fun. Great review, thanks for taking me back in time.

[@indeimaus]

I remember playing the Indiana Jones one as a kid a ton, never even knew this one existed!

[@BrianPicchi]

Yoda and his mixed messages. When he says "Try Again" I think it's a test and you fail if you do try again, so you should just quit after that screen. That or the developer screwed up...

[@zorkan111]

Do, or do not. There is no try.

[@OzisApoes]

I think Yoda is being snarky. "You failed because you tried, go ahead try again. * hidden snicker *"

[@kooky216]

But what if i just want to try the game? So confusing.

[@jamesgrimwood1285]

zorkan111 "Be good or don't even bother, there's no middle" - so Luke shouldn't have spent all that time balancing on his head trying to extract his ship from the swamp. He should have just called for breakdown recovery and waited under a tree in the rain.

[@_________________7899]

I love how Clint keeps the volume level consistent. No screaming into the microphone. Perfect for falling asleep to.

[@1ex1uger-prank-calls]

Good observation re: "Try again."

[@filip1408]

This game was my very first contact with the Star Wars franchise, built my hopes and dreams about the movies long before seeing the movies (poor country) Loved the behind the scenes of the Making magic, or simply build my own story about what the movies could be about... ahhh nostalgia hits

[@DOSRetroGamer]

Lol, what a sad story

[@LesPaul2006]

My good old grandma offered my brother and I either this game or Dark Forces II Jedi Knight back in 97 for Christmas. We nearly go with this one given I liked the box art more. But in the end we chose Jedi Knight. We chose well.

[@Drog007]

I still have this cd buried somewhere in storage. Got it on trade for some other game I'd finished with back in the 90s, but for some reason couldn't get it to install properly and never ended up playing it. May have been a scratched disc issue if I remember.

[@ZionMainframeGaming]

You got this out quick lol. Great review as always.

[@interghost]

I remember having that game back in the day. I think I remember using a lot of the sound clips for the CD on my PC for different things like the start up etc ;)

[@mining4herobrine]

Man these make my day! You inspired me to start my own PC game collection and i am at 121 games in the case :). Hope you never stop making these have a good day!

[@friscofunksta7528]

I really played this game a lot as a kid. And actually there is kinda a "goal" in this game. After a certain amount of missions (if I remember rihgt) Yoda even disappears of Dagobah and you have this special mission to rescue him (also only appeared ONCE in all the time I played). In the end you receive the green light saber. This is just my memorie...probably not 100% correct but this really happened. After this special mission it went back to normal and nothing special happened ever again, just random missions.

[@nightgardheal]

This game was nice , so many memories :p

[@TheJadeFist]

I remember this game, and absolutely loved it. Though after a certain point, you begin to see the repeating quests and stuff, even if it was randomly generated.

[@LeonardoBaez]

oh man I played with this and the Indy one for hundred of hours... Love them

[@richkawaiipikachu]

I guess you have never heard of the awesome Prequel trilogy clint? They were pretty awesome from the pod racers to some awesome battle scenes & even the infamous "Nooooooo"

[@prophismusic]

This game also came out for Gameboy Color. I still appreciate random / generated levels to this day.

[@SwedishEmpire1700]

i remember this game, had a demo of it on my Windows 95

[@AllanS420]

still better than Star Wars Battlefront EA

[@Itsnoahscott]

Nah, Star Wars Battlefront II EA*

[@hotaru8309]

The year is 2020 Andcrhere is STILL only one trilogy. We can only assume that Luke Skywalker went on to kick butt and use the Force to restore order to the galaxy. Meanwhile his sister and her scruffy looking, nerf herder kicked butt and repaired ships throughout the galaxy and finally Leia returned to politics, helping planets establish stable governments in the wake of the collapsing Empire. Training Jedis and restoring order. Luke, Leia, Chewie, Han Solo, C3PO, and yes, even Lando Calrission, would finally look out among the stars and witness the grand legacy of the Skywalkers.

[@mattafaak]

So, randomized Star Wars Zelda.. What's not to love?

[@Ammoniumbicarbonat]

J.D. Whited The Indiana Jones one was my childhood!

[@bluedistortions]

Uh. Play it and see. I have no idea how I had this "game," but I did. And it does not feel like an actual game.

[@thesinfultictac5704]

I lost it at " bag of gravel mixed with molasses. "

[@David-bo5uc]

me too

[@shamusfarmer]

I played it in the 90s, and it was indeed better than solitaire.

[@Gidrolo]

Ahh! I didn't know there were other "desktop adventures" beside the Indiana Jones one, loved that game, nice vid!

[@RyanKarolak]

I remember playing this as a kid. It wasn't anything on the same caliber as other Star Wars at the time like Dark Forces or Tie Fighter, but was fun to occasionally play around in.

[@TheExaminedLifeofGaming]

Even back in "The Day(TM)" I thought those help lines were silly. Maybe in an even older The Day they were pretty useful? Ah well.

[@neuroscram]

2:24 Artoo (not R2)! Artoo Deetoo... That is amazing. This game is brilliant, I cant wait to play it again.

[@ShadowRidgeHernando]

Wow, yet another nostalgia memory I needed dislodged. Thank you for this one.

[@Kizunaut]

I remember playing it as a kid and I loved it back then.

[@Gasoline85]

For some reason, I was convinced (as a kid) that if you played through enough of the missions you'd eventually unlock "special missions" that were directly based on the movies.

[@Transfixed]

I discovered this in a shop and bought it instantly. It was pretty fun, wish i'd know about the Indy one.

[@hippielettucee]

Whoa. Nostalgia overload. You ever not remember playing a game until you see a screenshot and then go on a deep dive to find the game? Yeah me too

[@TNGpt]

These Desktop Adventures were awesome but most of the folks I knew really did not like them at the time and I never really understood the hate until you pointed out that people saw "LucasArts" in it and were expecting a new lucasarts adventure game... and it all makes sense. For what it was, I always thought it did it very well: short bursts of star wars awesomeness in your desktop. Great review btw, keep up the good work LGR

[@shorty1k]

I had this once, and I actually kinda liked it. Great review as always.

[@slayerpianoman]

I loved this game!! I was born on '92 and got this game before I could read, so id have to get my mom to sit with me. i pull it out occasionally, and for real it wasnt bad for a desktop time waster. I appreciated the puzzles and the ability to not only travel to dagoba, but other planets in one game. The fact that there were a couple scenarios was great because hitting new game led to a new adventure instead of just one on loop. Gotta say, most gamers freak out when when they hear the sound byte of Link opening a treasure chest. Sometimes, I geek out when I hear the starwars theme and I go back to when I finally found the locator in the AT AT on hoth in this game. Cheers, Clint, thanks for the review!

[@dratinijoga]

I loved this game as child :3

[@SaraphDarklaw]

I spent way too many hours playing this as a kid. It blew my mind that I didn’t need a disk to play it at the time.

[@RS250Squid]

I used to love Yoda Stories when I was about 13, it was great!

[@metalmorgan]

I adored it. This was at a time in my life where i thought there could be no bad star wars products though....

[@titaniclance5837]

I loved this game back in the day. A fun casual experience

[@joshualockamy5553]

I got this for my birthday (asked for it, don't worry) when I was 13. Loved it. Still love it. Glad to see someone else liked it for what it was.

[@duckywenselcomedy]

Dude. Killing it as always!!! Mahn...u deserve more views.

[@amaruqlonewolf3350]

This is one of those games where people unfortunately jump over the hate train because a popular KZbinr covered it and badmouthed it, in this case Jontron. Happens too often with his and AVGN's videos.

[@420sakura1]

AVGN has come out and said that he doesn't hate the games. That's just his persona. Only time I truly hatred him for if the hate bandwagon he started for Ghostbuster. The movie was awful but attributed it to it begun all female instead of the shitty script

[@cappantwan2978]

Infinitely replayable! (Goodbye, Solitaire!)

[@joshsname]

I never thought I'd see this game again. A random game from my uncle's computer that I found and got to play every so often.

[@Snarffu]

"Yes I'm telling me that!" Oh my goodness! Oh, oh stop stop XDXDXD My sides!! Holy crap man this video... Far funnier than it had any right to be. Great videos!

[@mossa216]

Holy crap, stayed away for maybe 1-2 weeks from this channel and boom! 9 videos to viewe, Awesome, love LGR

[@TheD1ddler]

I feel a tremor in the FORCE here... Quick! Artoo we need to try again!

[@rexthesheep]

I had the shareware/demo version of the Indy game when I was little. But as far as I knew that was the full game. It blew my mind when I found out my grandpa had the full version with more to do.

[@someshyguy]

Wow this is nostalgic. I remember playing this so much when I was younger. Good stuff.

[@matezsiros3650]

Oh my god! I was searching this game for years! Thank you!

[@Sanctimoniously]

Is this Chip's Challenge but with a Star Wars skin?

[@jbfarley]

Not even close. Similar controls is the only thing they have in common

[@weirdproq]

I loved the old Solitaire (before XP) because the designs of the cards were better (in my opinion), some even had animation, and I'm not sure if the newer versions of solitaire still have the bouncing cards when you win. I really liked that part.

[@captainkatz1775]

In a random arduino project search I find this video of gold that shows a true treasure from my child hood

[@SpiralPegasus]

I played the Indiana Jones game build over the same engine back in elementary (a looong time ago!) and always wondered what was it called. Thanks LGR.

[@LiquidyTea]

I remember playing this a lot as a kid. Thought it was great!

[@GrumpyMonk86]

LGR is the man

[@50TBRD]

Loved it as a kid.

[@bummer6]

I... LOVED... THIS... GAME! Nostalgia overload!!!

[@collin571]

I used to love this game as a kid. So much fun playing as luke on hoth

[@VanillaBird]

I played this years and years ago as a pretty young kid and enjoyed it a lot despite not knowing what I was doing. Our family moved from that house and around the time, I got a hand-me-down laptop to play games on from my father, so I stopped playing on that computer. Over a decade later, I always thought those memories were from a fever dream or a Chinese knockoff game.

[@Spamsgood]

i used to have so much fun playing this game as a kid(despite my dads firm conviction it contained a virus which resulted in the disk being shattered) . as a young boy obsessed with star wars i enjoyed this game immensely and it was one of the first games i played on the pc.

[@bartsimpson83]

Not acknowledging the other movies won't make them not exist you know. And the haters are a minority. Most people like the other two trilogies (three if you consider the animated shows a trilogy of sorts) just fine.

[@Toad64]

Wow, I remember this! Like you, I thought it was a fun little diversion!

[@Maniac536]

I got this game for Christmas one year, along with Dark Forces, Xwing, Tie Fighter, and demos for jedi knight, mysteries of the sith. I liked this game, I was so mad when I found it didn’t work on windows XP

[@zivbartal4160]

Infinitely replayable Goodbye Solitaire

[@wolfgangfierce9559]

I remember this game, this game would be good on phones now.

[@Plymouthmusicschool]

Your channel is brilliant. So entertaining and interesting

[@0smundSaddler]

I grew up with this one, Mysteries of the Sith, and Tie-Fighter. Good memories, looking back at it it's just an awkward fetch quest filled action only Zelda though. I always enjoyed how it was randomized though.

[@MusicMan32K]

I had this. It came bundled with the Indiana Jones one, which was pretty much the same game. While the game is a bit lackluster, it did include some Star Wars mouse cursors, sounds, and a wallpaper, which I decked out my first laptop with.

[@LaVeyCharkusVeros]

Awesome review as always, Clint, and I'm glad you're uploading reviews this fast after that incredible unboxing video! :D Just a question: Can Google/KZbin be out for your ass for that tiny clip with Yoda included in this video?

[@Boss_Gaming_TCG]

Ive been trying to find this game for years. I played it on PC as part of some kind of star wars game compilation. Crazy

[@AeizzatToha]

I love this game when I was little!

[@nicholasagnew2792]

I got this game in a pack of six star wars games. Whats surprising is they were actually all good. This one was my favorite. Totally underrated.

[@Dave-ct1jk]

My grandmother had this installed on her PC and I would play it to death whenever I was over for multi day stays. Honestly, it may not be the most complex game, it is the most true to the universe game I have ever played. I'm actually looking for a copy to refresh myself from what these new movies have done to the franchise.

[@4AdamKane1]

the platformes at 4:10 look exactly like the ones in jurasik park for the SNES

[@onldhes]

I remember my dad had a demo of this game on his computer. I completly forgot about it until I saw the X wing landing near R2D2.

[@carckles2784]

I actually kinda like this game, it’s sprite art is pretty good too

[@419Films]

"Stevie Wonder on glitterstim" Sounds like how half the people in this town drive. :-)

[@ZPEntertainment]

I remember playing tons of times with an old demo of this game and then, after... 15 years or something I got it bundled with an old copy o Shadow of The Empire! :D (if I remember correctly) Great, interesting diversion it is! :D

[@KylecWoodland]

played this all of the time as a kid came in a collection with dark forces, xwing, tie fighter etc.

[@sorry3333]

Oh my god i completely forgot this one. Oh dear me. I had it in some kind of Collection CD (Europe) and it was rather fun but it was overly hard for my young mind so i just quitted after getting stuck so many times. Darng such nostalgia.

[@godly967]

oh my god i used to have that. i totally forgot about it until i saw the top down perspective. i loved that game

[@B0OM3R98]

Pssh. Best 10 bucks/month ever. So much entertainment.

[@LGR]

I'm honored you think so :)

[@atomicdeath10]

Thank you for these memories revived.

[@dimensionxii]

Used to love this game!

[@watchingponies]

Your reviews are better & more entertaining to watch than the big $$$ pros on my tv. No, seriously.

[@itsgruz]

Keep seeing this game but always dismiss it. Thought it was an interactive storybook type game, haha. Totally my opinion but looks like it would be pretty fun too if the movement was a bit smoother. Games always feel so cheaply made to me when they have that tile/array based movement...

[@Jelboo]

Loved this game as a kid, played it right to the end. :)

[@danmanx2]

Great review! I had this back then and Indy's Desktop Adventures. I remember playing Indy's Adventures for HOURS. This game posed many annoyances for me since it was basically made for a low resolution screen. I ran 1024x768! Didn't anyone else?? I remember how annoyed I was and used to lower my video resolution just to play these games. Still though, extremely fun and enjoyable to play. I'm probably going to get my CDs these right now.....;-)

[@dana8190]

I still own a CD copy of this game :D I dont play it much It never took on for me, not when Tie Fighter was out at the same time

[@Danbotology]

Skywalker's Challenge! Bummer!

[@Packers909]

That image with yoda looks like its from Super Star wars: the empire strikes back on the snes...where he says do or do not there is no try....
