It's not the best Star Wars game, but does something have to be the best to make it your favourite? MayThe4thBeWithYou
). Parts of it are quite bad, in truth. But it will always be my favourite Star Wars game.
My mum and three siblings had already left the UK to live in Dublin, leaving my father and I in London so I could finish my GCSEs. He was sick, then, from a cancer that would eventually consume him a year later. It was an extremely difficult time, not that I showed it. My N64 and Star Wars Shadows of the Empire would help me through that summer until we joined the rest of my family in Ireland.
Shadows of the Empire starts with a mission set within The Empire Strikes Back's famous Battle of Hoth scene. You play Dash Rendar who, alongside his droid Leebo, has a brief chat with Han Solo before jumping into a snowspeeder to fend off the Empire's invasion. It's awful, really, looking back at it now, but at the time I was wowed. For me, someone whose gaming life had gone from the NES to the SNES and now the N64 via a brief love affair with the Amiga 1200, Shadows of the Empire represented one of my first experiences in a fully 3D environment. I wasn't about to let bad gameplay put me off! I'm not even sure I knew what bad gameplay was, back then.
