The problem with a review like this is that it's not really a review of the game; it's a review of a guy fumbling around in a game he's never played, and when it doesn't hook him in 10 seconds it turns into 9 minutes of "bored suck fuck this sucks blah blah blah". How many people do you actually believe go to Youtube looking for this?
My suggestion would be to learn how to play the game and if it "sucks", explain why in the context of similar games from that period. That would be interesting.
It's difficult to imagine how this could be the game that saved the 32X in 1994 holiday season. It's not bad, just tedious. Starfox offered more variety despite the inferior graphics. Super Star Wars was a much better game and you didn't need to buy and add-on to play it.
The game's not boring. But it's impossible. I can get to the Death Star battle, but then every enemy fighter onslaughts me and I die. You can't get through that level.
You can never review retro games objectively unless you are consciously taking into account the technical and scope limitations for the time period, which requires significant knowledge of gaming history. You should also have appreciation for the genre. I don't watch football, for instance, so it would be pretty ridiculous of me to post a review of any Madden game, and even more ridiculous for anyone to take me seriously.
I finally destroyed the Super Star Destroyer but I challenge anyone to provide video proof, without any cheats, of destroying the Death Star. It cannot possibly be done and this game cleard my conscience of EVER using a cheat code/disk.
The game is not boring at all! It a very nice arcade game with decent graphics for the time it released in home consoles. I have finished the game and you should practise more to finish it yourself. Anyway the whole idea is shooting! Its a classic arcade shooting game man.
As apocalypse1280 said, it's an *arcade* game. Therefore it's designed to keep you throwing quarters at it in order to get to the really rewarding levels, where you fly through the interior of a Super Star Destroyer and then on to the Death Star trench. It's a shame you didn't manage to get that far, but practice makes perfect.
This game isn't bad. There's a reason why it's called "Star Wars Arcade", it's a port of the arcade game. WTF did you expect it to be? The second level had big massive ships, nothing like the first, and you say "it's the same shit". This "review" reminds me of a fat, 5 year old retarded kid.
the 32x sucked something over! lol but in my eyes its not the worst system/add on, i think its the virtual boy but thats just me lol, awesome vids tho man
Hey, that game truley is fucking shit! Reminds me y I didnt buy the 32x back in the day. Question: Have you ever played any of those "Sega CD-32X games"? Are they just a gimmick? Im thinkin about picking up a 32x...but theres like 2 good games for it.
I've seen a few. Makes sense to me. The extra storage of the CD with the extra processing power of the 32X! Could have made some KILLER games with that combo but I don't think they did.
Oh before anyone comments. I'm NOT turning into an AVGN rip off. I wouldn't normally play a game I don't like but as it was one of my holy trinity of 32X games and I was so excited to find a copy I just had to review it anyway!!
Lucky. Those model 1 to model 2 conversion cables go for a ton on ebay, and since I flat out refuse to use a model 2, I have to macguyver these things. My 32x doesn't work worth a crap unfortunately.
I got 2 for $5 at a pawn shop and he had more! We denied it once he saw how gitty I was to buy them for $2.50 each like he caught on. Why not use a model 2? All but only the first variations of the Model 2 (there are variations to the mainboard on the model 2) have great sound quality. Or is it some other reason? Early Model 1s have the BEST sound quality of all but only the real early versions they usually say "High Definition Graphics" or something like that on the top.
Sorry "He" denied it not "We" lol. He had crap loads of em lying all over the floor behind the counter! I crack a big smile when he says "$2.50" each as he pulls 2 stuck together with some other random cables. I ask "How many more of these do you have?" and he says "none" and I look on the floor and say "What about those ones?" and he says "uh they aren't for sale" lol I would have bought them ALL!!
There's just something more special about the model 1, I always wanted one growing up, but I got a model 2, which was fine at the time, but I still always wanted the original, especially with an original Sega CD model 1. All of the extra stuff on it like headphone jacks and the slider made it look like some high tech sci-fi device of doom while the model 2 just looked plain to me.
Oh I agree I went out of my way to make sure the first Genny I picked up was a Model 1. For collector purposes I feel it is more "Classic" and all that jazz. I got my model 2 later.
I fell asleep playing this in an emulator after watching this i woke up and it was morning =/

Aw, I thought this was going to be a video of the Star Wars arcade game (played at 32X speed, or something). Never disparage that game!

Question: do you use your model 1 in combination with your 32x? I don't have a conversion cable, so I'm basically hard wiring the thing together.
