‘I am the legal owner of these electrobinoculars’ is exactly what someone who wasn’t the legal owner of those electrobinoculars would say. This game was a banger btw. Had immersive sim aspects at points, especially on tatooine.
Very proud to say I beat this when I was 8 years old. It took me 6 months but I adored every minute of it. This was my first 3D video game. I’ve still got the guide book for it. This video brought back tons of nostalgia, thanks man 🤟🏻
@@mihaimercenarul7467 defending him? For what? My point is that you have bigger problems to worry about if something this benign made you write something like that.
Heads up flandrew interviewed the Devs a while back they also made the Simpsons wrestling. If I recall from the interview they had to work with early versions of the movie script.
yeah they pretty much developed the game from footnotes and some images that LucasFilm people showed them. the interview is great, definitely worth a watch!
The dev, Zanzibar, was a 3d modeler and he actually uploaded the map editor on the old Lucas forums. You can still find a copy of it - very very clunky but it does work! I have thought about decompiling the game, at least partially, but every time I start I give up lol. Fun fact: the PC game had cheats, but no god mode!
I remember reading a preview article about this game, and it mentioned that you'd be treated with hostility on Tattooine if you walked around with your lightsaber on... that blew my mind as a kid.
The tatooine level has this great secret where if you start murdering everyone in secret, the npcs in the city begin to talk about a serial killer on the loose and warn you to be careful 😂😂😂
I’ve got such fond memories of this game. As a young kid my family had to go on a cross country road trip. My dad hooked up a generator in the back of our mini van so I could play our ps1 to keep me occupied. We rented this game on the way out of town. Never even beat the naboo level but still had a great time 😂
I adored this game. Its the first Christmas Present I remember getting as a kid. I remember playing this game so much. The last level stuck with me even to this day. The reactor room with Darth Maul fighting Qui Gon atop a platform you can see from your own platform, yet unable to reach navigating around that fight... Its a level design that struck me and created a love for similar set pieces. We're you're moving across platforms, and can see something going on, you chase it to get there in time. Years later I roleplayed on JKA, recreating that visual feel on so many maps like Taspir etc. Years-years later I replicated similar ideas GMing in TTRPGs. Criss-crossing elevated platforms. Being able to see things on a platform far from your own but reachable with parkour. All because of that one final level.
The thing about this game was that it was frustrating, but as a kid I would always come back and try to get a bit further each time. (Im looking at you Escort the Queen through Theed without her dying or leaving her too far behind that the game just kills her off anyways.) The first few missions on the PS1 are annoying, but once you get to Tatooine onward it becomes fun, because it feels like an action adventure game. I think what people don't realize that pre-Kotor Tatooine was the closest we got to feeling a patt of the SW universe in an RPG sense. I loved the Coruscant mission tbh as well. Seeing Obi-Wan use s Rocket Launcher will always be peak.
Lol in an interview the game developers said they didnt have the script just notes of things in the movie, they said they thought panaka would have a much bigger part 😂😂
Panaka's part was fun as hell aside from the Amidala escort sections but I gotta say that third hit, or the front kick in his standing combo does ZERO damage and that upsets me to this day. I did find a glitchworld by jumping into errant level architecture once and it let me bypass a lot of the bumfights though so, either that was a baked in exploit or little kid me was a genius.
I remember the thermal detonator of this game having an absolutely ludicrous blast range, and laughing myself silly at killing everything on screen including myself with one
From how these things are treated in Return of the Jedi, these things should flatten entire buildings. But at least, in this game they are a bit more than the weak firecrackers from the Jedi Knight games.
absolutely played the heck out of this game on ps1 when it came out. my middle school best friend and I would endlessly quote the little one liners at each other. I still have a copy and replayed it maybe 10 years ago. the jank was still so endearing
5:38 - Never mind cutscenes. I was amazed that they included that short video with actual footage from the movie and making of it. They were hyping like no one ever before.
Bro that background music you used from KoTR…. Just brought back good memories from 2000 when my ex bought me KoTR and I was just enthralled, playing it probably over 50 times through.
One thing I liked about the game was how, at the end, after asking Obi-Wan to train Anakin, he says one last thing to Obi-Wan: "You are no longer my student...You have become a Jedi Knight...The Force with be with you always..." Most people say "May the Force be with you" but Obi-Wan was the one that said "The Force will be with you...Always...", so hearing Qui-Gon say it to him upon his death in the game really hit home and woulda hit harder had it been in the movie IMO.
Since you made a comment about Tatooine. Making a Desert Environment for a game is not that different (or easier) from any other environment when it comes to Development time and consideration. Obviously it depends on the scope of the area, but ultimately it's going to be about the same amount of work as any other area. Developing the scope, drafting concepts, creating models, texture work, rigging, animations, etc, etc, etc. I don't feel a desert has to be a barren wasteland. I think the more disappointing thing about Tatooine is that they've made it into a basic, boring, desert as we understand it and not into something much more alien and interesting. They could have ramped up the fantastical aspects and gave us some interesting geological formations, or alien creatures to spice it up. And they've left it mostly as-is. That and despite it being the furthest from being any actual place of importance in the setting, the entire universe just loves to pivot around that one iconic, if lonely rock in space.
i love this game since it came out. i especially love all these glitches, like when you see an item that you want in a room, but you aren´t able to get it cause there is a wall in the ay. so you explore the enviroment, start to jump against walls and maybe you´s find a secret entrance/lever or you suddenly glitched trhough that wall, or just well.... fall trough the level and die :D but we tried so many things in that game back in the day, it was awesome, especially that mos espa level =)
I found two separate glitches that let you bypass major parts of levels in Theed Gardens and Coruscant by jumping at the right spot enough times. I must have been on some Speedrunner juice as a kid because I have no clue how it ever occurred to me that those would work. And I also found ways to glitch through the wall in Otho Gunga and essentially drown myself the same way 😹 but yeah 10/10 jank
It’s nice to know there were other people Like you who had a fondness for this game. I felt the same way about enjoying this quirky game. I think I only the PlayStation could create something so interesting with its limited and advanced hardware
The game of my childhood! My family computer was horrible and could barely run this game, so any puzzles that required timing was very difficult. I recall the gungan city sinking pillars puzzle being the absolute worst! Imagine my surprise when I revisted it years later on a modern system and the game was much easier. Still one my favourite games.
I bought (or got my parents to buy) a 3d accellerator card back in the day to get this one running on my computer with a voodoo graphics card - had to connect these cards with an additional wire at the back of the computer. Good old days. Still got the computer btw. :D Did not remember the amount of boss fights shown in this video, but nice to see it again
A very sweet blast from the past mini game for the movie, I noticed that lil old republic taris safe house theme at the end, such a great piece of music :)
19:00 The wookieepedia refers to this creature, simply as for Neg's monster - nothing more on it. Officially, we will never know more about it, damn, that's sad ;D
Yeah I was gonna say "If it's in ANYTHING Star Wars and you don't know what it is, Wookiepedia almost certainly has a novel long autistically detailed article about it" 😹
My favorite part of the game was how it put events from the movie in perspective. The throwaway line "the death toll is catastrophic" means next to nothing in the movie scene, but actually seeing the Naboo security forces being shot down in the street by an invading army and trying to rescue survivors pinned down by the tank that had already taken out their entire unit really makes it feel like a sovereign nation under seige. Couple this with dialogue trees not unlike those from Kotor, and you have a brilliant vehicle for worldbuilding in an otherwise vague movie setting. Sure, some of the stuff like the escort missions definitely detracted from the experience, but I think this game was way more ambitious than it was given credit for and succeeded in making the movie far more interesting than it initially was. (A feat I've only seen done one other time with X-Men Origins: Wolverine) Btw, I think that furry monster guy you mentioned could have been a gundark, though I could be wrong as they have more arms.
I spent the rest of my childhood trying to escape the sand. Every playthrough ended there but i was young. Took my forever to get through the gungan city level.
I played this game before the film’s release. I loved the stage in which all you need is to walk around Mos Eisley and talk to people. At the time, Star Wars games were like Dark Forces, in which NPCs were scarce or non-interactive. I remember thinking: “I wish we have a Star Wars game with more of this.” It took them over 15-20 to consider that. Lol
Still have a copy all these years later though with a caveat. The original game that i got for Christmas (the year after the movie came out) had been lost (or stolen) during one of the several moves my family were going though in a five year period. It was only recently (last year) that i managed to find another CiB copy. Played the hell of it that night.
Amazing! You didn't lose your Jedi way and didn't massacre everyone around you! Didn't even mention that you can slaughter everyone in this game. You can even kill Jar Jar in first Tatoiine mission without game over.
Pretty sure that was supposed to be a gundark, could have sworn the game had bacta like Jedi knight and I think the funniest thing is you can beat Darth Maul in like 5 seconds by just force pushing him into the hole
Whoa, my nostalgia just when back to me after watching again Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, got the game on my pc when i was 12 years old, and became the 2nd Star Wars game that i've got to finish after Shadows of the Empire, sadly the CD-ROM accidentaly got broken in half when changin from home
This was the first game I ever had that forced me (by which I mean my dad) to get a new video card. Whatever card we had at the time couldn't render transparency properly, so the lightsabers were surrounded by black boxes, and it was impossible to see through windows or mesh. Weirdly fond memory.
This is unironically one of my favorite games of all time. So off the walls absurd, so much adorable jank. I'll stop now but damn, this is legit peak PS1. Coruscant has beautiful sunsets, indeed. This and Jedi Power Battles are the only way to fully experience Ep. I outside of just the movie, YMMV. And okay I guess racing game fans have the Podracer one but I suck at those so, doesn't count, NEERRRRRDS
I remember playing this as a young kid and spending a lot of time seeing what I could get away with. I remember being shocked that the game let you kill a child then lure the mother to the kid, and it actually had a different scene/dialog play. Plus Tattooine was a lot of fun too, lol.
I played the pc version of this years after its release. I got to Coruscant, but kept quitting to replay the Tatooine levels. I absolutely loved the sandbox nature of it. It's a shame it's only available on PS4/5 because I'd love to run through it on Switch.
I actually quite enjoyed the Coruscant level. Maybe it's just nostalgia because it's the first level that I beat (without cheats) when I was a kid, but I remember it being fun and exciting.
I played this game on a demo disk on PC as a kid. I still have that demo disk in my bookshelf :D It was such a cool game. I really should yarr harr my way to play the og game.. 18:50 - And finally, I understand now why there are brown furried wampas on Tattooine in that one Shadows of the Empire stage!
I vaguely remember playing this as a kid and only got as far as early in the 4th level. I remember getting stuck/confused so much lol. I think I just spent most of my time exploring around.
I always just thought that strange boss creature Qui Gon fights in Mos Espa to get the kid back was like a baby Rancor or something. Or since the guy is clearly not above child slaves, maybe the kid of Jabba's Champion you fight in the next level. They kinda sorta have the same type of build.
To all curious or lovers of this game, I recommand to watch the interview of the developers by " Flandrew" here on UA-cam. I'm so glad this game is having a comeback these recent years. ( and yes the cutscenes were made by Lucasarts and Ape developers didn t have a lot of informations about the actual movie to work on.)
I was 15 when this game came out and I couldn't have been more excited. It was really bad even for its time. It has insane difficulty spikes because different areas of the game were designed by different people. There was a big interview with the guy who designed the Tatooine levels in Star Wars Magazine, that guy tried really hard and it shows. I still had a lot of fun with this game but the fun became trying to find the game ending glitches. "It's just a flesh wound, your highness!" and "mean people die pretty quick down here!" were hilariously bad dialogue.
I'd say that the brown monster on Tatooine is some form of a hairy Terantatek or something similar. Or more likely, just something cooked up by a graphics artist that had to make something for a miniboss also.. @23:29.. Ohh my god, Panaka just killed Shockwave...
That beast/monster on tattooine at 19:00 looks alot like a rancor to be... the big beastie from the start of episode 6 under jabbas Palace? :) That's my guess anyway, all the best and lots of love to everyone! ❤🙏🏼
A beast who's origin can be as mysterious as his owner (Captain Neg) means that beast is not only from another world but also an exotic species, an early showing of the gundark, pheraps?
I want to see this game back on GOG/Steam, tried to install the CD i still have once on Win10 but you can't do that anymore unfortunately and i'm not going to set up a VM just for this game. lol
My mom noticed child me go on one too many Mos Espa* killing sprees as Qui Gon and was so disturbed by it she hid the game from me for a bit. Good times.
This was featured in my video about ps1 SW games, but since I'm about to release a video about the Revenge of the Sith game, I thought this one deserved its own stand-alone video too

I wished back then so much for an Episode II game with the exact same gameplay. I even imagined the first act of the film like the Panaka level.
Would like a gameplay like episode 3 games with episodes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6
That's me wishing for a Jedi Power Battles 2.

I did too! I wanted them to do the whole saga like this

That game was the second Star Wars game I ever remember playing. The first one was Shadows of the Empire for the N64.

31:17 - PC version has an additional cheat in that it allows you to swap characters.
There was the game Star Wars Pit Droids to :)
I played this game on a demo disk on PC as a kid. I still have that demo disk in my bookshelf :D It was such a cool game.
I really should yarr harr my way to play the og game..
18:50 - And finally, I understand now why there are brown furried wampas on Tattooine in that one Shadows of the Empire stage!
I vaguely remember playing this as a kid and only got as far as early in the 4th level. I remember getting stuck/confused so much lol. I think I just spent most of my time exploring around.
There was one jumping pit in the Gungan city that took me an hour to get across.
I always just thought that strange boss creature Qui Gon fights in Mos Espa to get the kid back was like a baby Rancor or something. Or since the guy is clearly not above child slaves, maybe the kid of Jabba's Champion you fight in the next level. They kinda sorta have the same type of build.
To all curious or lovers of this game, I recommand to watch the interview of the developers by " Flandrew" here on UA-cam. I'm so glad this game is having a comeback these recent years. ( and yes the cutscenes were made by Lucasarts and Ape developers didn t have a lot of informations about the actual movie to work on.)
Man I wish this was easier to play on modern systems... I'd kill for a Switch port
It's on the ps4 and 5!
This and racer were my jam, hated trying to save the ithorian kid and fighting Jabba’s champion in the Tatooine levels.
I was 15 when this game came out and I couldn't have been more excited. It was really bad even for its time. It has insane difficulty spikes because different areas of the game were designed by different people. There was a big interview with the guy who designed the Tatooine levels in Star Wars Magazine, that guy tried really hard and it shows. I still had a lot of fun with this game but the fun became trying to find the game ending glitches. "It's just a flesh wound, your highness!" and "mean people die pretty quick down here!" were hilariously bad dialogue.
I looooove this game and want a proper remaster or remake ❤
Loved this game back in the days.
Hoota hoota!
Borrowing loans from Hutts to make bets with would be perfectly on brand for Charlie Hopkinson's Qui Gon...
Playing this on my Gateway PC with Windows 98 when i was 7 was incredible
I loved this game as a kid
I never heard you, or Qui Gon, say, "The door's open, lets go!"
As somebody who played this game at launch, before the days of social media, it’s reassuring to know that everyone hated that Coruscant level 😂
I'd say that the brown monster on Tatooine is some form of a hairy Terantatek or something similar.
Or more likely, just something cooked up by a graphics artist that had to make something for a miniboss
also.. @23:29.. Ohh my god, Panaka just killed Shockwave...
played this as a kid. Also loved it.
I need to finally play this
This game was amazing. I loved it.
That beast/monster on tattooine at 19:00 looks alot like a rancor to be... the big beastie from the start of episode 6 under jabbas Palace? :)
That's my guess anyway, all the best and lots of love to everyone! ❤🙏🏼
Raghoul maybe? (Raghoul plague)
I love this game and finished it about 3 times
A beast who's origin can be as mysterious as his owner (Captain Neg) means that beast is not only from another world but also an exotic species, an early showing of the gundark, pheraps?
I want to see this game back on GOG/Steam, tried to install the CD i still have once on Win10 but you can't do that anymore unfortunately and i'm not going to set up a VM just for this game. lol
Dang and I grew up with an n64 missing out on stuff like this
Would be lit if you could play as Darth Maul. The only thing this game needed.
Barbo is hurrying as fast as he can!
I still have my physical copy of the game since 1999
I am always down for some good Phantom Menace game content
6:27 When I played this when I was younger I always thought I heard those little creatures running around saying "Chris Benoit" over and over again.
DUUUUDE I sucked ass at this as a kid, I loved it!!
Didn't you already upload this?
Yes I was wondering the same thing. I had deja vu, especially when you were talking about the cliff wampa 19:00
My mom noticed child me go on one too many Mos Espa* killing sprees as Qui Gon and was so disturbed by it she hid the game from me for a bit. Good times.
I still have my copy Phantom Menace Game PC.
Just wondering, is this a reupload? I have the deja Vu feeling this was posted before, or am i imagining things?
This was featured in my video about ps1 SW games, but since I'm about to release a video about the Revenge of the Sith game, I thought this one deserved its own stand-alone video too
@evprince oooooooh thanks for clarifying, I thought I was taking crazy pills!!!
The greatest PlayStation game ever.
The progression of this game sort of reminds me of the lego star wars version of episode one
I remember beating this game but it was clutch and I also lobbed a grenade at Darth maul at the end because I was low on health 😊
