wonder what the best Star Wars game is?

For me, it was lucasarts x wing series on the PC. Particularly the tie fighter games. I for one would love an up to date version of this.

Always wanted to play that but had no pc in the 90's. I wonder if there's a way to run it on current versions of windows?

Cheers Edd. Didn't know it ran on Dos. Off to eBay to check out Rogue Squardron too :D
 
I've been meaning to take some new photos for a while, so here goes. A couple of group shots plus individual shots as there's so many now it's impossible to see any detail in the group shot! :lol:

I'll add descriptions when I have a bit more time.
 
Wow amazing collection Edd. Did not know you had so many allready. Ashrams you could not pick the game the last time in ebay.

Ps, i just checked mine and i believe i have a SNES version of box that you don't have.
Yours has white text (dutch/french) under the JVC logo, mine doesn't has that.

That's right, yours is the Bandai release. I haven't picked one up because you can get them sealed, so I've been holding out for a sealed one (although have admittedly only ever seen one for sale before, missed it!) Most of the European ones never came sealed, so I have just tried to pick those up in nice condition.
 
Added a real grail piece today, finally found a PAL Shadows of the Empire:

According to a knowledgeable source there are only 2 of these known (including this one) so I didn't think I'd ever get one :)
 
Blimey Edd, thats an amazing collection, well done son.
 
Wow nice game 8) that game I have never played before. I must buy it in the future :D

I have loved loads of SW games over the years, Super Star Wars, ROTJ, Rogue Swuadron etc etc I would go with the first Battlefront myself...

I always regret not playing Jedi Outcast though, I think it was available on the GameCube too.
I love this!
My brother had a Game Gear Never Saw this before tho!
 
Finally added another important one today, it doesn't look like much but the PAL Sega Game Gear version of ROTJ is incredibly hard to find and pretty expensive.

Ed, I love this run, congrats on what you've managed to achieve so far. You know where to bring the N64 stuff and the Game Cube stuff and the Box Flats if you ever get out of collecting this stuff.

Best,

Grant.
 
Some of those really take me back. I remember playing the super star wars games at a friends when I was a kid in the 90s. They seemed so difficult. First game that properly blew me away was rebel assault II for the ps1, I'd never seen a game with live action cutscenes. Makes me want to replay that now!!
 
A very grateful addition today, first print sealed version of Star Wars for the Game Boy. This is the first one I've seen in several years of looking.

Sweet Focus there Edd, I like runs that are out of the ordinary.

Plus like Grant you cant beat a good go on the N64 and Game cube , I Still have both.

Cheers

Vince
 
I've started thinning out a few of my more expensive pieces recently, but when this came up I couldn't let it get away! Very pleased to add it to the collection.

Wonderful collection that evokes so many memories of playing on my brother's Super NES and then my own N64.

I must say my favourite SW game was Tie Fighter Squadron on the PC... but the only one I ever bought a whole new computer/system (well convinced my Mum I needed it for school), so that I could actually play it was Star Wars, on the BBC Micro, it was a vector graphics game (like Elite) that I seem to remember let you go down the Death Star trenches and shoot out the towers...
 
I think that you deserve every credit for making Star Wars computer games a focus of your collecting. It's a chunk of history and I'm willing to bet that nobody else is preserving it.

I don't have very many computer games in my collection because I don't have a personal connection to them. Then only Star Wars computer games I've ever played were at the sea side!

I made collecting Star Wars videos a focus of my collecting years ago (those lovely rare Beta versions) and like you, I collected as many foreign variations as possible. If people are really unlucky, I'll post a video focus here on the forum.

Sweet. I am surprised you do not have all the NES ones.

On the look out for them, but they tend to sell for quite a lot of money if sealed. I'm trying not to cave in and buy used copies of lots of them which are obviously a lot easier to find and cheaper!


At least you can play them if they aren't sealed, emulators suck.
 
It's been a while since I've picked up anything new, but have been after this for ages. Annoyingly the postage/customs charges cost more than the game itself :lol: Would like to get more of the Lucas Arts big-box PC games.
