Notice 7/4/2024: It took me more than a week to realize that the very beginning of this video had a duplicate of the stage intro from when I was editing it beforehand. I have cut the repeated intro to make the video how I originally intended it to be. Call me George Lucas.
I think as a child i played this in this difficulty, how i remember the overheating of the gun is just like in this video and i still was very good at it (for a 5 year old, as i was 5 when i played, it was in 2012 and yes i'm young af)
In the early 2000's, Walt Disney World placed tons of these games throughout MGM Studios for Star Wars Weekends. It was HEAVEN. I played at least 15 of them looking for the best joystick. Great, great times.
Dude I just can't with those Ewoks knocking down the Stormtroopers. XD Elite soldiers of the Empire my ass, Palpatine should have stick with the Clones.
What I find endlessly fascinating now is that this once was the maximum amount of detail 3D graphics could handle, and people thought this is good enough to make games with it.
I once wedged the Outrider into a corner on the Star Destoryer's hull and used a piece of tape to hold the Z-button. After an hour of 5-torpedo bursts I confirmed that there is no way to destroy that ISD.
I miss this game. People in the arcade would always come watch when somebody played this. I learned how to do the Boba Fett fight without looking to show off lol
Both of those are obvious guesses a fan could have with it but I was hoping for something very specific since they are so unusually livid green! Don't mean to be disrespectful just thought you delved deep enough to know. My primary hope was specific wookieepedia pages showing me who these are are hopefully something different than the two guesses we both had mentioned above. Because enemy variety is cool! But I could settle for some fan wiki page if it has a pictured description.
@@rudolphantler6309 My apologies, I'll do you one even better and geek out all over the place for you now: The manual for the game calls these enemies "Imperial Commandos," which is interesting because that would be later ret-conned when the Prequels came along. The manual also calls the red guards in Xizor's Palace "Coruscant Guards." I'm assuming they were trying to model the armor underneath the cloaks that we see in Return of the Jedi, which is also interesting because I would assume Palpatine's guards wouldn't be protecting Xizor even regardless of his obliviousness to his plot. It's also the Executor that shows up and destroys Xizor's Skyhook and not just some random Star Destroyer, but I guess trying to fit the entirety of the Executor into that small area wouldn't have worked. Here's a link to the manual: www.video-games-museum.com/en/manual/Nintendo%2064/6372_us-Star-Wars-Shadows-of-the-Empire.pdf
Here is a link to the Coruscant Guards page on Wookieepedia, the details for the Imperial Era armor are just under the Phase I armor: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Coruscant_Guard/Legends It doesn't explain why they were in the sewers and the palace. I can only guess maybe Vader had a detatchment go and try to arrest Xizor.
I beat this bad boy. Top best gaming experience ever. A small crowd formed to watch me play. I was so deep into this game it's not even funny. This game goes with playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time.
“What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do.”
Escape From Fest is one of my lifetime achievements. I can Gold or Silver it on the first try pretty much every time now. Use dgVoodoo to force resolution and limit the game to 60FPS to fix the camera issues. It also fixes the physics issues that make enemy fighters bob around.
I remember playing this at Arcade in the center of Moscow in 1998. I think the chair vibrated or something. It really blew me away back then, and was my favorite game there. Unfortunately this very arcade was later bombed by the chechen terrorists the following year.
@@bobbywattz3050 I usually do just knock out people when I disarm them but I didn't want to have to deal with potentially getting wrecked by the patrol copter, so I made an exception this time.
