The Game: Super Star Wars
You have no idea how stoaked nine-year-old me was when I opened this on Christmas.Release Year: 1992
Skewes: SNES, Virtual Console
So what’s it like: “Super Star Wars,” shockingly for the Super Nintendo, is a re-telling of the first (fourth) Star Wars film, “A New Hope.” You play as Luke Skywalker, and you must progress through key events of the film including getting your light saber from Obi-Wan Kenobi, recruiting Han Solo and Chewbacca, and eventually defeating Darth Vader.
Just as annoying in video game.The game is good, especially if you have a love for the movies (and I have a feeling that you do if you’re reading a video game blog). It plays like a typical side-scrolling shooter with some platforming. The shooting is simple enough, with different weapon upgrades. The enemies include ones seen in the movies, and original creatures that fit in perfectly with the atmosphere.
Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend I once had...The platforming can get really tricky at times. The bosses can be hard, if not impossible, if you do not have a powered up weapon. Even with both of these, the game is very fun. If you never played any of these games as a child, I'd highly recommend going back. Hell there aren't too many good Star Wars games to choose from.
Holy shit these graphics are blowing my mind!Should you go back: Yes. Hit up the virtual console versions and relive some of the better days.
Should this game be remade: No. It would be nice to see a new game re-telling the story from the original trilogy, though.
