Edd's Vintage Star Wars Video Games

[theforceuk]

This is a fantastic collection love the N64 ones.

Blimey that takes me back seeing all those together! I played a few of them back in the day, love the Snes ones. Cool collection of games in lovely condition. I really enjoyed the video game chat in the podcast. We used to cain the ROTJ game in the arcade mid 80's. I've liked some of the Star Wars games over the years, I like battlefront on the PS2, but I still feel like there hasn't been a really good Star Wars first person shooter. I want to see one with the playability of Halo but in the Star Wars galaxy, I live in hope 8)

Did you ever see Dark Forces on the PC? I thought that was very good.

I've never really been into PC games, except for in the early/mid 80's before good consoles started to appear. No I haven't seen that one, I'll have to check it out.

Dark Forces and Jedi Knight were both excellent. Really held their own vs the other first person shooters of the day. Being able to use the force and a light sabre in JK was an added bonus! 8) They need to do a really good console shooter now...

Cool X-Wing box :shock: I remember playing X-Wing in my younger days, damn it was hard and I always lost

Tie Fighter was better I have completed that game many times even with the extra levels :lol:

 

[ZippyNL]

Great stuff. Just heard the X Wing and TIE Fighter have been released on GoG, might be time for me to finally play them! Excellent collection.

Another big box LucasArts PC game added to the collection, this wasn't a great game but I love the box

 

[Grant]

Cool addition Ed.

 

[jyacal73]

Shadows of the Empire..........what a classic

 

[Pomse2001]

Cool that Yoda Stories game looks awesome, I have never played it. Maybe I should buy one

 

[edd_jedi]

As mentioned I have started branching out in to 'big box' PC games, mainly LucasArts one. Here's my haul so far, all of these are new and sealed:

A big thanks to Shawn K who sourced a few of these for me from America

 

[edd_jedi]

And I thought this one deserved a post of its own as an oddball, Tie Fighter bundled with Joystick!

 

[Grant]

Awesome stuff Ed.

 

[beginner]

i remember me at my first star wars game and i loved it
The Empire Strikes Back on Atari 2600

 

[edd_jedi]

I've been looking for these for months, they both turned up on eBay within a week of each other and arrived on the same day!

 

[Pomse2001]

Some fantastic games, I remember Tie Fighter a lot. I have completed the game a few times

 

[edd_jedi]

Finally managed to complete a run today, it's taken me nearly 2 years to find the final one which makes it a lot more rare than many MOCs! This is the full set of both Made in Japan and Made in Mexico SNES games

 

[indianawars]

Great feeling when you finish a run, shortly followed by 'what's next?' :lol: looks great, I love the old style of game packaging.

 

[Grant]

Sweet run there Fella

 

[Pomse2001]

Cool games are the made in japan and mexico games different to play or is it the same game ?

 

[edd_jedi]

They are the same game but apparently the 'rom' versions are not the same so there may be some minor differences. But I haven't played both so am not sure.

Could be cool to know what the differences is ? maybe a different level or different enemies :shock:

 

[edd_jedi]

Unfortunately it's usually nothing noticeable many games are updated for re-releases but it's just tidying up or debugging the code rather than changing visual things.

Ok, my brother also collect games. Not star wars games but other games and some games made in usa does not have the same levels or level monsters than there is in the same game from japan :shock:

So I thought maybe it was the same with some star wars games :?

 

[edd_jedi]

Ah yes you're right sometimes for different regions there are differences, eg the character names in Street Fighter. But these are all USA games.

Hi Edd, just heard the podcast and came looking for this. Great interview and awesome collection. Since they're all sealed, does that mean you only play them on emulators? Ever tempted to pick up a loose copy of something and play it on a console for nostalgic reasons?

I have sadistically fond memories of TMNT on the NES. I swear I'll beat it one day, but it's bested me to date. :evil:

 

[edd_jedi]

Thanks mate, I also have most of the console games as loose carts to play, and most of the PC ones can be downloaded these days.

 

[shawn_k]

Hey Edd, finally got around to listening to your interview on the podcast yesterday and had to come and revisit this thread. Great job!

It really is amazing how many variants there are out there and the collection you've been able to assemble. While things haven't spiked like SW I have noticed that prices have gone up as I've been thinning a few things from my video game collection for space reasons. However, it is still a very much affordable hobby to get in to.

Super chuffed with my latest pick up! Been on the look out for one of these for ages, and missed a BIN recently on eBay. It's the bottom centre one, Star Wars for the Game Boy with UK 'red strip' seal. Group shot with all my other Game Boy games
