[Upcoming game] Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (June 11) Monopoly Star Wars was already adapted as a video game by Artech Studios and Hasbro Interactive in 1997.

Star Wars: Yoda Stories (LucasArts) was released 29 years ago. I think that, a decade later, it would have been a big hit on Facebook or mobile.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back NES (Sculptured Software/LucasArts) was released 34 years ago.

Star Wars: First Assault (LucasArts, canceled in 2013): Mos Eisley level What was almost the very last LucasArts game. Or even the start of a new series.

Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter (LucasArts) was released 24 years ago today.

The PlayStation 2 is 26, and I already have a LucasArts thread about it:

It's a happy double anniversary for LucasArts, under the sign of the FPS. Dark Forces is 31 years old. Republic Commando is 21 years old.

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (The Collective/LucasArts) was released 23 years ago today.

[Thread] My LucasArts boxes Miraculously, I was able to keep my old LucasArts PC game cartridges from my teenage years, three decades ago. I saved them in 2019 after 20 years in a dark, cold, poorly insulated garage. I can't say the same about most of my NES and SNES games. 🤷‍♂️ #MyLucasfilmGames 1/25

LucasArts anniversaries this week 🎂 Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith is 28 🤯 Star Wars: Empire at War is 20! Star Wars: Starfighter is 25 is two days (and a little over a year before the movie of the same name, which will have nothing to do with it.)

Two other LucasArts anniversaries this week 🎉 Star Wars: Racer Revenge (Rainbow Studios/LucasArts) was released 24 years ago on PlayStation 2. Wrath Unleashed (The Collective), one of those little-known games published by LucasArts, was released 22 years ago.

X-Wing (Totally Games/LucasArts) was released circa 33 years ago. I find it hard to accept that so many of my fond memories are a third of a century old. 😅

Lovely 💀

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction (Pandemic Studios/LucasArts) was released 21 years ago today on PlayStation 2 and Xbox. "Set in North Korea, a private military company has dispatched a lone mercenary to track down 52 fugitive members of the old hardliner regime."

"A group of hackers says they're on the precipice of breaking the PlayStation 5 wide open. The caveat? The hardware tinkerers say they need a highly specific game to pull a jailbreak off. That game is none other than the PlayStation 4 version of a 2002 game called Star Wars: Racer Revenge."

"New details have been revealed regarding the Knights of the Old Republic 2 false advertisement lawsuit for Switch consoles. This includes an argument made by one expert brought in by Aspyr who stated that the fan-made Restored Content mod the missing DLC was based on had "no economic value".

Star Wars: Obi-Wan (LucasArts) was released 24 years ago on Xbox. Not to be confused with Star Wars: Kenobi (novel, 2013) and Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi (TV show, 2022).

Star Wars: The Old Republic (BioWare/EA/LucasArts) opened 14 years ago today and continues to be regularly updated.

Star Wars: Episode I: Battle for Naboo (Factor 5/LucasArts) was released 25 years ago on Nintendo 64 (and later on PC). A quarter of a century! Again, please release it on Steam & GOG! It's a shame to leave in obscurity the Star Wars game that Factor 5 made between Rogue Squadron and Rogue Leader. 🤷‍♂️

Upcoming Star Wars game “The Star Wars galaxy, with its wide roster of iconic characters, is a perfect fit for a collectible card game. The expertise of Zero36 Studio and CCG Lab makes them the right teams to deliver a Star Wars card game that brings the saga to life in a new way for the genre.”

Oh, that's why. "20 days after the game was released the studio was contacted by Disney saying its legal team wanted the mod’s credits “to be changed to reflect only real names, not gamer aliases”, and that other issues such as voice acting being provided by non-union actors were also problematic."

Rogue Squadron 3D (Factor 5/LucasArts) is 27! Box art by Greg Winters:

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords was released 21 years ago today. It was @obsidian.net very first game, made in just over a year, and what a game it was! Even if we had to wait for a fan mod to get the full adventure, it remains one of my favorite SW games.

Star Wars: Lethal Alliance (Ubisoft Montreal) was released 19 years ago. "As the deadly duo of a Twi'lek named Rianna Saren and her security droid, Zeeo, you must return with the plans for the most destructive weapon in the galaxy - the Death Star."

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (LucasArts) was released 23 years ago today on GameCube! Yes, you still can't play with The Mandalorian, but there is this neat Jango Fett adventure (now remastered).

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was released 29 years ago today on Nintendo 64. "As Dash Rendar, it's up to you to protect Luke Skywalker and help the Alliance defeat the evil Xizor. Keep an eye out for deadly bounty hunters and stormtroopers--and may the Force be with you."

Armed and Dangerous (Planet Moon Studios/LucasArts) was released 22 years ago today. "Take a band of gun-toting rebels -a robot, a madman, a mole and a criminal mastermind. Then give them an impossible mission - pulling off the biggest heist of all time in the middle of a war."

Ron Gilbert on a 3D Monkey Island Having players “go around in a true 3D world, rather than as a 2D point-and-click game… I don’t really know how you would do the puzzle solving in [that] way and so that’s very interesting to me, to be able to kind of attack that problem of doing it in a 3D world.”

Ron Gilbert: “Certainly, recent events and recent things have gotten me more and more jumping on the ‘Eat the Rich’ bandwagon.” Though he didn’t detail which “recent events” drove that realization, he did say that “billionaires and all this stuff… I think are just causing more harm than good.”

What a shame.

Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Balance of Power (Totally Games/LucasArts) was released 28 years ago. "This expansion lets you fly for the Rebel Alliance's famous Rogue Squadron or join the Galactic Empire's notorious Avenger Squadron."

The Dig (LucasArts) was released 30 years ago! I love this game, considered graphically dated when it was released, but has aged so well. 👌 The Dig is still available on Steam and GOG, don't miss it!

Rescue on Fractalus! (Lucasfilm Games/Epyx/Activision, 1984): Jaggi Warrior, art by Gary Winnick @davidbfox.com : "We had to freeze the last landscape frame so [Charlie Kellner] could animate the running pilot and popping up Jaggi, so I came up with the explanation that you had to..."
