In case you were wondering, yes, the controls in this game were really that bad. Very difficult to aim as the reticle was always trying to snap back to center
I was wondering why he was so bad at the Star Destroyer level. Then I remembered...the goddamn controls back then. If I hadn't bought an elite joystick at CompUSA, I would've never beat that level lol
Which one? If it's level 3 (8:12), tough: Kolaador was one of the hardest in the game. Just don't swerve to either side and follow Ru's every movement. If it's level 5 (23:11), try shooting quickly right at the start: you could splash all three TIE fighters in rapid succession without breaking a sweat.
The only time I was able to play this was at a birthday party, and we would take turns, so every 10 minutes you would get another shot (basically learning nothing), so no one ever made it out of this canyon. And that bastard at the beginning "this shouldn't be too hard, nothing like the bullshit we did before" fucker
This game came out and most PCs did not have a CD Rom and soundcard installed. All the fans of Star Wars were forced to learn how to install all that stuff just to play this game. Great memories.
@@callmejefe Same here. I got this game, a Sound Blaster and CD-ROM drive all the same day at Costco. I also got a Logitech Wingman Extreme controller. Way better than Thrustmaster at the time.
Back when PCs could hardly play full motion vids. That was awesome FMV engine and game pushed PC multimedia capabilities to the limits. Today you can watch it on a phone and stare how low-res, low-fps and bad quality all the thing is...
I'll look into it,besides PC's now a days can easily run Full motion videos back then though that's a different story. Though story wise I like how this game includes some elements from Episode IV as it happens.
First day on the job: -stay tight -follow our lead -stay clear of the walls Me, a mouse player: [is unable to accomplish the critical task of staying clear of the walls]
It was 1993 and when I saw this playing on a demo PC in a store I was amazed. It was the game that made me go out and buy a CD-ROM drive. What really captured the imagination for me was not so much the game based around the FMV, but the perfecty CD-quality soundtrack. The game itself was a lot of fun to play and the story mirrored the plot from the films very well while still being its own story.
Played this game on a Packard Bell 486DX2 Windows 3.11. It was the most epic time of the 90's.... But then I couldnt wrap my ahead around how Rebel Assault could go from A New Hope, to Empire Strikes Back, then back to A New Hope.. WTH
This... the CD Blaster bundle with Monkey Island, Loom, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego Deluxe… we also got Megarace… F15 III… Doom… 93 was a great year for PC gaming
I thought my memories made this game look much better than it did, but I actually does look fantastic for its time! I rented it from the local library as a kid of 9 years old or so (multiple times). I always had to bring back the CD rom after a week. It always crashed at the ice caves, but that first half was enough for weeks of enjoyment for me.
Ah the good old days of gaming... when it was acceptable game design to give a player the choice of "Do you want to go left or right? Oh left you say? Instant death!"
@DecepticonFan97 I played long ago just the PC CD-ROM version, and I had very bad memories of it. Tie Fighter, on the other hand, was an amazing game. I agree that Disney completely destroyed the franchise... nowadays when I heard the name "Star Wars" I just run away in horror...
Glad im not the only one that thought this game was super hard haha. My dad let me put this and DOOM on his computer and i had a little controller that looked like a super nintendo controller. It made this game HARD.
I sm 45 years old and this was one of my first starwars games, I spend mu h money to become an 486dx PC with 66 MHz powerprocessor 😂😂😂 I was proud to play this game and only view guys knowing exactly this game has starting the revolution on the PC research and production! This game starts where we all now with our Handys and Playstation, xboxes, Sega stations! But the first was atari then the pc revolution! I have the original game on CD 😂😂😂 the 2nd game was coming out with a pilot glasses 👓😎 gave a nice day all 🤓
I haven't played this game since hs and I still knew all of the words to the cut scenes like it was yesterday. Those things were burned into my brain from trying to beat it over and over again and over again 🤣
Imagine the nerve of watchmojo daring to say that this game sucked. Rebel Assault was awesome. Really groundbreaking on the Genesis. Pushed the Sega to its limit..
They say that because they never played it.. they're new gen sjw's and yes this game does suck by todays standards but man was this game fun and frustrating. I was blown away by the graphics back in the day lol
I dig these games, but Rebel Assault 1 was extremely difficult to control no matter whether I used a mouse or 2 different joysticks. This long play hurts to watch, because moments like getting a lock and still missing the target happened all the damn time
Y'know it just hit me that Vader would technically not be sitting in his quarters at the beginning, he would have been on the Tantive IV during the invasion and discovery of the missing plans whereabouts.
Crazy thing is that the gameplay on the 3DO is better, because it's controller doesn't auto-center. I got halfway through that port, before dying once.
Ah memories, it was actually a bit better than it gets credit for these days on the PC (console conversions were awful) a joystick was mandatory though, mouse forget it. I remember hitting a road block on chapter 7 in the hoth ice cave, it was just so hard to control. I wound up giving up and just playing the star destroyer attack mission over and over (a squad of 3 X-wings took out a star destroyer hmmmm... gunners must have been on strike that day...) but I eventually got the ice cave and went on to finish the game. Rebel assault 2 was rubbish though, despite the superior cut scenes, the story was bland and boring, who cared about a new model of tie fighter with a cloaking device, we wanted battle of Endor.
My name is Jonathan Campbell I played this since 1998 until 10 years later. I maybe as good as you but I know it's suppose to be fun like all of the star wars games!!!
The high quality music, FMV, and 3D gameplay with a smooth framerate would have been impressive at the time. You would have had to go to the arcade to see more impressive graphics.
"Crashed" it doesn't even look like I hit the stupid F-ing pillars XD, so I said F- it I will watch it on UA-cam... Besides I have to get through the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games yet :| lmao
I remember going to babbages at the mall to get this for doing well on my 7th grade report card. I remember how awesome I thought it looked. The controls sucked so bad though, I never got good at it.
very good game for the time, 2, it surpassed it 10 times, what I could never understand, is because in this game, they did not use the sound effects of the original lasers from the movie (in the second game they do use it)
I remember having a demo verion of the game with only the first 2 levels on it. It came on some magazine's cd. But if you entered a cheat code to jump to the 3rd level, you'd have the full game lol.
Was a bigger fan of X-Wing. I know Rebel Assault was supposed to be a big leap forward, but the playability of X-Wing was just much better. And these courses you’d fly, I think the disappointing part of this game how much the had to compress the graphics, it looked like a fuzzy 8mm film.
To be honest, the second one was better and actually had an original story line instead of being a sort of summarized version of the movies. Controls were better too (not as janky a perspective view either).
regardless of how "dated" a game may look, its how well it plays that matters the most. i only ever played the 2nd game and never even seen this one before i must say, the 2nd one i amazing but hard.
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think the gameplay in the Rebel Assault games holds up well at all. They always were "visuals over gameplay" multimedia experiences, and if you wanted an actually fun game, you were better off getting TIE Fighter or Dark Forces. I mean this is an FMV rail shooter, not exactly a pinnacle of good gameplay design.
Frankly: I gave this game a whirl again a while ago and with all the nostalgia I had for it, it's really not a fun experience. I think you can see pretty well in this video just how clumsy the controls are, and that really ruins it.
OOOOH THATS RIGHT! Now I remember why I didn’t like this game, you couldn’t free fly anywhere, the playing field was simply a recorded pre-flight course, and you either had to steer through the pre-recorded course with a superimposed third person view fighter, or just shoot targets as the computer flew for you. X-Wing was fun because you could fly wherever you wanted. Was realistic.
My 2nd CDROM game. (Mad Dog McCree was my 1st). I also played this before really remembering A New Hope. So watching that movie was a lot of "Oh wait, THAT was in the Rebel Assault game!!"
It's too bad there hasnt been a remaster of this, somebody back in 92 spent weeks making the levels of this game, and the bit rate quality is so low....
Wow. Brings back memories. Glad I found this. My brother and I converted our walk in closet into a computer room. The surround speakers and subwoofer and BOOM!! We played this Star Wars game in there for hours.
I loved this game, for the first time Star Wars in the game, it happened at the beginning of PCs after the fall of the Amiga, it was what made me sell my Amiga for an IBM PC just for this game. I remained glued to my screen, I arrived at the black star, of course with the code system.
I remember my parent wouldn’t let me get a joystick for this game and the countless hours I spent passing this using a mouse only. It was fun and frustrating at the end because I expected so much more of an ending and only getting that “YAHOO” made me feel so jipped for putting in so much hard work.
Ahh summer of 1993, I have really fond memories of this game. Although, at the time I was a little disappointed it was a rail shooter, especially since X-Wing came out earlier that year and gave you so much freedom of movement.
I love the 70's feel and look of this game. I mean, why can't we have a Star Wars game today that look and feel like this? No need for fancy HUD or too much details. Just make it look like this in a big open world where you can walk around, shoot, jump in your x-wing
I never got past level 6 when flying from the Tie Fighters in the asteroid field. To quote C-3PO, I was the 3720 odds of navigating through an asteroid field that did not make it.
Ohhh these days... my at 386 40/60 with svga video card showing for first time a CD ROM 2x... rebel assault and mad dog mcree was the real show mate... thank u very much!!!
I had a demo of this as a kid and it had the AT-AT level and I think the later TIE fighter level, and the whole time I assumed my PC was rendering those graphics, it's only right now that I'm realising that wasn't the case, hahaha.
Buenos recuerdos.... Jugado en un 386 packard Bell sí recuerdo bien... Venía en CD... Una locura para aquellos años en España. Para mí un clásico y pura nostalgia.
I don’t have the game or never owned one, but I do have the the second game and demo of the first game from Dark Forces, and I remembered seeing our hero sliding down from a chute in Chapter 9 Stormtroopers was awesome to watch as a kid.
I loved this game so much as I was a teen. Such great atmosphere! Today I'm very happy to play "Jedi Fallen Order", the next great Star Wars Game, 16 years later!!!
I played this eons ago using a POS joystick, and I didn't really have any problems steering the ships. But (for some weird reason) it's next to impossible with mouse and keyboard.
I have bought my very first PC because of this game and had to sell my Amiga500. This game was just amazing. One of the first game on CD-ROM only (with Megarace). I even remember this error at 6:21. Cockpit of Rookie 1 is not an a-wing cockpit but a x-wing one. The best part imo was the hoth battle. So epic !
Me and my brothers never made it past the canyons. Back when you could play a game your entire childhood and never get past the intro level
😂 I feel that. Never beat a game let alone get past the intro or first couple missions
amateurs
Ditto.
for real? that was dead easy
you should have used
front+fire, back+fire, left+fire, right+fire during the intro logo.
First cheat code of my life ;)
This was all we had, and we loved it.
Three wars back we called Sauerkraut "liberty cabbage" and we called liberty cabbage "super slaw"

I don't know how my poor Dad stayed sane with the constant sput sput sput of the same blaster sound over and over as I replayed this constantly
YES! I had this as a kid, and remember the trenches in the beginning were so damn difficult!
Right??? like how is this the first level
Unless you found a glitch I found one that made the canyons not damage me I took the hard course that time

First cd-rom game I bought for pc. Good times..
Mines too.
we literally bought a cd rom drive for our pc so we could play this game, such good times

Mastered this game, used my PC joystick for whole game 😁
Same here man. I wish the sound bite that said "Lucas Arts" played
Same, just me and my 2-button Thrustmaster QuickShot.
Wingman Light, and boy, the controls were hell
This was like The Force Unleashed for 90s kids.
"Dark Forces" would fit better in that role.

This game was insanely hard.. I had it on my old man's pc with a joystick.. no matter which way I went I always died
I finished it
WHich is why I was thankful for the cheat code. RInnggggggg!

Yes, but it was a really awful game. Controls were broken.

according to the movie yes.
Crazy thing is that the gameplay on the 3DO is better, because it's controller doesn't auto-center. I got halfway through that port, before dying once.

man this brings back so many memories. I had so much fun playing this game on the Sega Cd
such great sound FX!
Happy 30th, Rebel Assault!
Back when Star Wars was good 😰.
Thanks, Disney.
This game is how I got to notice Luke's T-16 at the background in his Tatooine house in Ep IV. Not the toy obi-wan gave him, but the real-sized one
For 1993 the graphics were as good as PS1 graphics before PS1 existed
for a 1993 game this is looking amazing.
I love the 70's feel and look of this game. I mean, why can't we have a Star Wars game today that look and feel like this?
No need for fancy HUD or too much details. Just make it look like this in a big open world where you can walk around, shoot, jump in your x-wing
I never got past level 6 when flying from the Tie Fighters in the asteroid field. To quote C-3PO, I was the 3720 odds of navigating through an asteroid field that did not make it.
I always got chills at the attack on the base at the beginning of chapter 5
I absolutely love this game and still give it a go on my 3DO because its really is a blast.
A classic game.

I played this eons ago using a POS joystick, and I didn't really have any problems steering the ships. But (for some weird reason) it's next to impossible with mouse and keyboard.
I have bought my very first PC because of this game and had to sell my Amiga500. This game was just amazing. One of the first game on CD-ROM only (with Megarace). I even remember this error at 6:21. Cockpit of Rookie 1 is not an a-wing cockpit but a x-wing one. The best part imo was the hoth battle. So epic !
Played this endlessly as a kid
I could never get past the asteroid field, if I even got that far.
Childhood right here
Back when Lucas Arts games were all we had for new Star Wars content...
