Never thought I'd see a renowned YTPer like yourself around here... boy am I lucky! I also very much appreciate your Star Wars sound effects project, I've had several iterations on my PC for a while now, they're fantastic.
@@MARIOGUY789 I'm still finding more, and adding them to the collection! I managed to find the original samples used to make the TIE Fighter roar, so look forward to the next release!
@@videogamesworld01 thats because u spoke english. Good luck figuring out as a child what to do back then that kind of game was new. Also in europe except uk arcade games usually cost 3 times more.
I remember seeing this at an arcade when I was younger. I wasn't even the biggest fan of star wars but the game seemed super awesome to me. I couldn't get very far in it at the time but I played it over and over, slowly getting better until my quarters ran out. This was one of the three games I would always play, as well as the batmobile racing one and the alien shooting one.
I literally cannot believe a no damage run was possible with this game. Iw as sure it had arcade rules of "You'll get hit and lose no matter what for the tokens"!
I still feel like 1CC is near impossible on actual hardware. That joystick was just so imprecise. Also controls being inverted for the first person sections really messed with me.
A long time ago i have this game in my pc but i didnt know how to use controllers for the sable fights, you just use your mouse? My game always have problems with that
That kind of stuff always amuses me, like how in Rogue Squadron on N64 they use a sprite of a person from two different angles to make a 3D perspective. It works from really far away but it's painfully obvious up close.
I will always remember playing this game and thinking the haptic feedback in the controller (especially during the Darth Vader fight) was the most amazing thing ever.
Honestly I was surprised how well the graphics hold up, the Endor speeder mission didn’t looks half bad. This was the bees knees back in the day I remember being awful at the game as a kid but blown away by the visuals, looked just like the movie to my young eyes
Worked at a movie theater for about two years, and we had this gem sitting in our lobby for 20+ years. I must have beaten this 50 times on my breaks, this brings back many memories. Thanks for uploading!
I know of a few arcades that still have it, but said machines are in in a sad state, mainly bad joysticks and software issues causing certain sounds not to play. Trilogy Arcade will be extinct from arcades soon enough, replaced by the more-advanced Battle Pod.
This game was a childhood favorite of mine. Over the years, my father and I would go out to our local Dave and Buster's and play the hell out of this game. The highest rank he ever achieved was General, but after years of experience and memorization under my belt, and a little bit of internet research, I was able to surpass him and 1cc the game with an Admiral rank every time. The game was, unfortunately, removed several years back (along with the old Daytona USA) to make way for more casual releases, but nothing could take away my memories. I thought I'd hit the pinnacle... Aaaaaaaand then you came along and completely showed me up. lol All seriousness, though, you're my hero for this one game. I bet my dad would love to see this.
Well, to be fair, I'm not playing on an even field. I'm using a mouse when the game is controlled by a joystick in the arcade, which more often than not was broken or not functioning at 100% whenever I played. I bet if you and I were to compete for score on real hardware, you'd probably win. I do know just about every cue in this game, but I'm very much out of practice with a joystick.
@Dick Handy I can link you to the emulator, however, per site rules, I am not allowed to link to ROMs, as it could cost me my whole channel if RU-vid decides to come after it. Here is a link to the Supermodel3 emulator used in this playthrough: www.supermodel3.com/
You know what would be awesome with rail shooters like those? If get the licences & work all of those for the freaking VR and in general for ps4-ps5 etc!
You know, I almost called out the Boba Fett fight for forgetting Luke's gloved hand but I looked back at the Sarlacc scene and...lo and behold, Luke was showing his prosthetic ungloved during it. Nice attention to detail I totally forgot!
@@ahabduennschitz7670 Luke had his hand replaced with a fleshy prosthetic after it was cut off and didn't dawn a glove until one of jabba's goons shot that hand. No one forgot that luke had his hand cut off. So tone down a bit there.
I heard that they didn't want Episode 1 to be overshadowed by the original trilogy so they never released it, Also a very odd thing Sega made a Episode 1 racing game in arcades but yet Episode 1 Racer came to the Dreamcast instead
Not trying to burst your bubble or prove you wrong, but this is more similar to a ride at an amusement park where you ride down a track and shoot at targets with a laser pointer than an actual video game. Since the designers only had to worry about what the player sees as they go down the “track”, they could afford to put a lot more work on visual detail. Compare this to Rogue Squadron, where devs had to build entire 3D worlds for the player to physically fly around in each mission, and it’s pretty clear why this arcade game looks much better, despite being older. Still a great looking game, even if it was made to steal your money!
I remember playing this as a kid and Chuck E. Cheese's but no one else does. I was like 4-7 when I played it so I was always awful. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to win.
The only one I ever saw as a kid in chuck e cheese was almost always broken. I could only watch the demo screen on it. Never got to play it from what I remember. I would sit in it . The pod racer one was hard to find for me too until I found it at Disney Quest .
How well you did in this game in the arcades completely depended on the controller and in what shape it was. Some were in great condition and allowed precise aiming. Others … not so much.
Ok, I can say that, as someone who has played the Death Star II reactor run countless times, that was REALLY impressive. It's hard for me to explain how impressive that was.
They're just elite. Even if this is a rom, they're using a mouse and have memorized the exact placement of all enemies on screen in sequence lol. Truly impressive.
@@kelvintam814 Yeah, and I’d thought that I had much of the game (especially the ground sequence on Hoth) down. But this just blows what I can do out of the water.
@@undine5938 Year old comment, but yeah, mouse aiming in most games meant to be played with joysticks takes a ton of the challenge away. I probably wouldn’t survive past Hoth if this were real hardware on Very Hard difficulty. This run was still no cakewalk though, in fact, most of the runs I do I always take hits and miss enemies, this run was an exception rare exception where I didn’t get hit and also cleared almost everything. Definitely going to try again some day though.
This intro brought me way the hell back. I’ll never forget this 5 year old child prodigy who hogged this machine for hours on end. He managed to get to the very end of the game, and threw the most monumental fit of all time after dying at the end and having no more quarters. I can’t say I blame him, though.
@@SplendidCoffee0 my grandma and grandpa drank while I played the game. I remember that day fondly. RIP grandma and grandpa and thanks to them for encouraging me to enjoy games and computers as a kid.
It's worth investing in a cheap flight stick rather than playing with a mouse for this game, it makes a lot of difference. I always think mouse aiming takes a bit of the challenge away with on-rail shooters. I've got mine hooked up to a Dolphin bar and play it as a lightgun game. Good run though, I hardly ever manage 100% on the snowspeeder section.
I actually do have a Logitech 3D Pro just lying around, and I have used it to play this game before, which does put a lot of the challenge back into it. While it's definitely truer to the arcade, I just enjoy being able to use a mouse for the sake of it, plus the real difficulty for me is trying to do no damage runs on Very Hard, which is pretty much nigh impossible unless you have the speed of a god with a joystick. I wonder why nobody has ever done a TAS on this game for no damage, perfect hit chain and no misses, I feel like it'd be pretty interesting to see what the highest score possible in this game is. Also, this near-perfect 100% thing I got on this particular run is something I've never done before, mouse or not, there's almost always something somewhere along the line that I miss, this was just really, really lucky.
Watching it again it's pretty close to a perfect run - I think it's impossible to 100% the second Death Star. I noticed you fire at the bunker door in the ewok stage - is that the secret? I'm not too sure on a few of them. It's a shame this never got ported to the dreamcast. They were going to do it with extra levels but it never happened.
@@dan_76 I'm only firing at the doors in both Hoth and Endor because, for some reason, doors don't break hit chains, and I have an itchy trigger finger, so those are perfect targets when I just want to unload for a couple of seconds. I'm not too sure about a lot of the secrets either, there are fifteen, in total, I know that three are the AT-AT takedowns on Hoth and three are the Ewok attacks, but for some reason I get score for secrets some times and other times not. On Yavin's final stage, there's a spot for "Secret" score, but I have no clue what triggers it, I've done runs where I've hit all four TIEs at the end with torpedoes and I got no points.
Yes, I've no idea what the secret is on the trench run is either. The wampa door in the Hoth level is the secret. You hit it a lot so thought you knew. You can get a pretty big bonus by spamming that door. Thanks for confirming the ewoks and At-At's.
This was always a go-to machine for me whenever I was in the arcade. I actually can't believe this game is 23 years old, I had no idea growing up how old it was.

@@thecatfather857 I know, I know, the Sequels aren't perfect... But hey, there are are a lot of scenes in there that can be EASILY reimagined to fit with the rail shooter gameplay.
1999 I was 4 years old playing this game at the arcade in Chuck E Cheese. I remember with this specific level of being in outer space, I had a panic attack, got out of the seat, started crying and ran to my Dad. He picked me up and consoled me. I still played it every time after I went to Chuck E Cheese years later lol. Good times. I miss these games going to the arcades and I miss the 90’s.
My dad would take me to the local Chuck E Cheese just to play this. For whatever reason, I really seemed to get a kick out of Hoth, including the part where I’d shoot the ever-living crap out of the rebels as they were trying to flee.
I remember the r2 scream that played when you die scared/upset me, there was like a 1 or second delay after it played before the continue? screen would showup and Id just immediately run away when I heard r2 yell 😅😂
For an arcade game from the mid 90s this looks dope as hell probably would’ve played this a handful of times if I was around back then I freaking loved going to arcades as a kid
Nicely done. I used to work at a theater and they had this game in the arcade and I played the hell out of it. love the game. Great job on the no damage.
It's super fun to see the game fully completed. Whenever I have the chance, I always try to complete this game in arcades. I never get good scores, but it's fun to try.
If there was one against Grievous, you would break the control stick from moving it so much. Didn’t the Episode III Novelization say Obi-Wan was blocking like ten lightsaber strikes PER SECOND?
MAN THIS WAS MY SHIT A KID. I’ll never forget seeing the full arcade set for this game. Some places had your average arcade set up but when Gatti Town used to be here they had the full set up with the bench seat, table, big screen, it was too badass as a child lol. I could never get past the Vader fight but the game was one of the most fun Star Wars games of all time. Whoever developed this understood what kind of game they were making
Editorial Note: Please pardon the bitrate, I had to reinstall Windows twice last week, so all of my OBS recording settings were reset and I forgot to change them to their exact values. RU-vid's compression certainly doesn't help either, my raw MP4 output looks better than this final upload.
Bro, I remember being like four years old at one of those huge arcade/in-door playground McDonald's and hearing this game's attract BLAIR across the whole loud ass arcade. I didn't even know what Star Wars was back then, so I think that arcade cabinet was my first exposure to it. All I remember is seeing Darth Vader kill you in the attract and being a little afraid of it. But the John Williams score echoing around the room was ethereal.
That has to do with an inconsistent, yet inherent issue with the Super Model 3 emulator which thus far has not been fixed by the developers, and unfortunately there's not much I can do about it without sacrificing other aspects of good playthroughs. The emulator has gone under so many revisions that there are specific issues present in some builds more than others, for instance , in earlier versions, the music wouldn't loop properly and caused a very loud and annoying sound to play at the restart of every track. In other builds, there are graphical issues AND sound issues, some of which still persist to this very day, either that or I have a messed up ROM. The point is, there really isn't a perfect build of the emulator, and unfortunately, this is just about as close as I can get.
@@MARIOGUY789 appreciate the reply. Excellent 1CC run btw. I tried playing a couple nights ago and forgot a lot of it from when I played as a kid. Do you have the inverted issue during the lightsaber bits?
@@skream.mp3351 Sorry for the late reply. The way you fix the inversion during the lightsaber battles is by first going into the Supermodel.ini file and changing the following parameters for the swtrilogy rom: InputAnalogJoyX = "MOUSE_XAXIS_INV" InputAnalogJoyY = "MOUSE_YAXIS_INV" Next, start the game and go into the test menu by pressing 7 or 8 on the keyboard and then use those keys to navigate to Calibration Test and change the lever setting to up -> down, down -> up. Lastly, go into the Game Assignments submenu and change the cabinet from Deluxe to U/R. This should solve the issue if you're playing with a mouse and keyboard.

I remember watching so many people play through it and playing it so much myself that I was able to beat the game on 1 credit. The lightsaber battles were the most satisfying, especially when you had an audience watch you beat them.
This is incredible, I cant believe I'm seeing this again, I loved this game so much, by far my favorite arcade game of all time, I was so distraught when my local peter pipers removed its cabinet, arcades were never the same again for me
I used to work at an arcade that had a sitdown version of this and all I did was play...I was this good at one point. We turned the machine up to the hardest setting and I had at least the first ten high scores. Why a fun game, great memories of wasting my youth.
Jesus christ, I had forgotten about this. I remember the first Endor sequence from my childhood and that I was so afraid and lost all the time because a lot of people always were watching.
I’ve been playing this game for years and even now I can STILL beat the whole game on one credit. This was always a lot of fun to play and I’m always trying to beat my high score, my best is over 2 million points, maybe if I’m fast enough to shoot everything.

I am amazed how you managed to no damage the Endor death star mission. I must of played the games hundreds of times back in an arcade next to my hotel on a holiday about 20 years ago and I could never avoid not getting some damage.
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.
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.
Great play-through! Oh man, all those troopers in the speeder bike sequence - I feel would have been more fitting if they'd squeezed in the Wilhelm sound FX as they fell off of them. lol
Saw a this Game at a Arcade Area of an UK Airport like 25 or even 26 years ago. I was thrilled. Kept looking at the Pictures and Videos. And i was like: "It's 1998...this isn't supossed to look this good yet."
It's so hard to 1cc this game, even on an emulator. Especially no damage on Endor ! It's true, they don't make em like they used to. Great job man and good luck on your future gaming ❤
7:00 Wait a minute... If you hear really carefully, when the guy playing this shot those snowtroopers, didn't their death screams resemble the marine death scream from the first StarCraft games before StarCraft 2? Or have I gone insane?
