good ol’ VHS tapes and game magazines, back in the days before the internet, youtube walkthroughs, and GameFaqs, before online game and optical disc formats. what a time to be alive

See, I don’t get that…
ALLOT of people swear by the series, and I just never got the series.
I guess it’s a very arcadey title (which I don’t mean to sound like a bad thing) in a time when I was really into old school DOS games.
My picks for the 10%:
-Dark Forces 1 & 2 (Jedi Knight).
-Tie Fighter
-X Wing
-The SNES Series

I think it’s a great series, solid controls, well designed and with minimal glitches and bugs. It had enough complexity that it couldn’t be beaten in one sitting and had replay value, but it was simple enough to pick up and play (much like any atari game).
It was one of those games with good game play in a time where everyone else tried to make it look good (graphically) without regards to playability. Its a 90s problem (starting with the PlayStation and Saturn era) that grows even as we speak.

Great series, thanks for posting. That guy really needs a hair-cut though…

He looks like Martin Short.

Man, that’s a very good slow motion. It must have been played back from a pro-grade VTR, not some crappy consumer equipment

No way. This guy must have graduated from the Billy Dee Williams school of smoothness. All he needs with that Atari console is some Colt 45. It works every time.

Some very important tips.

November 9th, 2009 at 8:33 pm

I loved this game as a kid.

Cool how it plays the Star Wars theme!

greedo never shoots in the REAL new hope

Can’t you just get behind the walkers? That would seem easier.

great video, though it woulda been more helpful 25 years ago!
January 3rd, 2010 at 9:36 pm
holy crap what a waste of time, just shoot the blinking dot, the hell with shoting them 40-some-odd times

i used to own this game. the engine and controls of the game felt quite reminiscent to that of defender..also for the 2600.

I still have this game collecting dust somewhere. What I dont think people know is if you go nuts and shoot a walker alot while its exploding, youll hear it continue exploding. When you stop shooting the walker will still be alive but a bright yellow color.

@vandalaylatex6969 You can shot from behind them but they can still shoot you. Its easier to hit the weak spot though since the head gets in the way in the front ones.
