Worked at a movie theater for about two years, and we had this gem sitting in our lobby for 20+ years. I must have beaten this 50 times on my breaks, this brings back many memories. Thanks for uploading!
I know of a few arcades that still have it, but said machines are in in a sad state, mainly bad joysticks and software issues causing certain sounds not to play. Trilogy Arcade will be extinct from arcades soon enough, replaced by the more-advanced Battle Pod.
This game was a childhood favorite of mine. Over the years, my father and I would go out to our local Dave and Buster's and play the hell out of this game. The highest rank he ever achieved was General, but after years of experience and memorization under my belt, and a little bit of internet research, I was able to surpass him and 1cc the game with an Admiral rank every time. The game was, unfortunately, removed several years back (along with the old Daytona USA) to make way for more casual releases, but nothing could take away my memories. I thought I'd hit the pinnacle... Aaaaaaaand then you came along and completely showed me up. lol All seriousness, though, you're my hero for this one game. I bet my dad would love to see this.
Well, to be fair, I'm not playing on an even field. I'm using a mouse when the game is controlled by a joystick in the arcade, which more often than not was broken or not functioning at 100% whenever I played. I bet if you and I were to compete for score on real hardware, you'd probably win. I do know just about every cue in this game, but I'm very much out of practice with a joystick.
@Dick Handy I can link you to the emulator, however, per site rules, I am not allowed to link to ROMs, as it could cost me my whole channel if UA-cam decides to come after it. Here is a link to the Supermodel3 emulator used in this playthrough: www.supermodel3.com/
You know what would be awesome with rail shooters like those? If get the licences & work all of those for the freaking VR and in general for ps4-ps5 etc!
I heard that they didn't want Episode 1 to be overshadowed by the original trilogy so they never released it, Also a very odd thing Sega made a Episode 1 racing game in arcades but yet Episode 1 Racer came to the Dreamcast instead
Not trying to burst your bubble or prove you wrong, but this is more similar to a ride at an amusement park where you ride down a track and shoot at targets with a laser pointer than an actual video game. Since the designers only had to worry about what the player sees as they go down the “track”, they could afford to put a lot more work on visual detail. Compare this to Rogue Squadron, where devs had to build entire 3D worlds for the player to physically fly around in each mission, and it’s pretty clear why this arcade game looks much better, despite being older. Still a great looking game, even if it was made to steal your money!
You know, I almost called out the Boba Fett fight for forgetting Luke's gloved hand but I looked back at the Sarlacc scene and...lo and behold, Luke was showing his prosthetic ungloved during it. Nice attention to detail I totally forgot!
@@ahabduennschitz7670 Luke had his hand replaced with a fleshy prosthetic after it was cut off and didn't dawn a glove until one of jabba's goons shot that hand. No one forgot that luke had his hand cut off. So tone down a bit there.
I remember playing this as a kid and Chuck E. Cheese's but no one else does. I was like 4-7 when I played it so I was always awful. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to win.
The only one I ever saw as a kid in chuck e cheese was almost always broken. I could only watch the demo screen on it. Never got to play it from what I remember. I would sit in it . The pod racer one was hard to find for me too until I found it at Disney Quest .
This intro brought me way the hell back. I’ll never forget this 5 year old child prodigy who hogged this machine for hours on end. He managed to get to the very end of the game, and threw the most monumental fit of all time after dying at the end and having no more quarters. I can’t say I blame him, though.
@@SplendidCoffee0 my grandma and grandpa drank while I played the game. I remember that day fondly. RIP grandma and grandpa and thanks to them for encouraging me to enjoy games and computers as a kid.
Ok, I can say that, as someone who has played the Death Star II reactor run countless times, that was REALLY impressive. It's hard for me to explain how impressive that was.
They're just elite. Even if this is a rom, they're using a mouse and have memorized the exact placement of all enemies on screen in sequence lol. Truly impressive.
@@kelvintam814 Yeah, and I’d thought that I had much of the game (especially the ground sequence on Hoth) down. But this just blows what I can do out of the water.
@@undine5938 Year old comment, but yeah, mouse aiming in most games meant to be played with joysticks takes a ton of the challenge away. I probably wouldn’t survive past Hoth if this were real hardware on Very Hard difficulty. This run was still no cakewalk though, in fact, most of the runs I do I always take hits and miss enemies, this run was an exception rare exception where I didn’t get hit and also cleared almost everything. Definitely going to try again some day though.
This was always a go-to machine for me whenever I was in the arcade. I actually can't believe this game is 23 years old, I had no idea growing up how old it was.
How well you did in this game in the arcades completely depended on the controller and in what shape it was. Some were in great condition and allowed precise aiming. Others … not so much.
Nicely done. I used to work at a theater and they had this game in the arcade and I played the hell out of it. love the game. Great job on the no damage.
It's supposed to be a cue that your group kills raised your Force Meter, which lessens the damage you take. Although you have to go extremely out of your way to *lower* that meter via friendly fire, so the meter is kinda moot for 97% of the game.
MAN THIS WAS MY SHIT A KID. I’ll never forget seeing the full arcade set for this game. Some places had your average arcade set up but when Gatti Town used to be here they had the full set up with the bench seat, table, big screen, it was too badass as a child lol. I could never get past the Vader fight but the game was one of the most fun Star Wars games of all time. Whoever developed this understood what kind of game they were making
It's super fun to see the game fully completed. Whenever I have the chance, I always try to complete this game in arcades. I never get good scores, but it's fun to try.
They actually kinda DID do one. It's not in VR, but the perspective is about as close to it as you can get. It's called Star Wars Battle Pod. I don't think it's as good, but the *speed* of that game is something else. It doesn't have on-foot sections or lightsaber minigames, but instead you get a bonus mission after the Endor Space level where you play as Vader right after the first Death Star blows up in an alternate timeline where you mercilessly gun down the Rebels trying to get back to their base.
It's funny that at no point in this game do they call you Luke despite you clearly controlling him for more than half the game. You're just a nameless Rebel in Luke's and sometimes Han's place.
For an arcade game from the mid 90s this looks dope as hell probably would’ve played this a handful of times if I was around back then I freaking loved going to arcades as a kid
1999 I was 4 years old playing this game at the arcade in Chuck E Cheese. I remember with this specific level of being in outer space, I had a panic attack, got out of the seat, started crying and ran to my Dad. He picked me up and consoled me. I still played it every time after I went to Chuck E Cheese years later lol. Good times. I miss these games going to the arcades and I miss the 90’s.
My dad would take me to the local Chuck E Cheese just to play this. For whatever reason, I really seemed to get a kick out of Hoth, including the part where I’d shoot the ever-living crap out of the rebels as they were trying to flee.
Saw a this Game at a Arcade Area of an UK Airport like 25 or even 26 years ago. I was thrilled. Kept looking at the Pictures and Videos. And i was like: "It's 1998...this isn't supossed to look this good yet."
Thanks for this video. Seemed like every time I went to the arcade, some kid had busted the control stick and it never worked right. So it was great seeing what the actual game looked like
This is incredible, I cant believe I'm seeing this again, I loved this game so much, by far my favorite arcade game of all time, I was so distraught when my local peter pipers removed its cabinet, arcades were never the same again for me
Editorial Note: Please pardon the bitrate, I had to reinstall Windows twice last week, so all of my OBS recording settings were reset and I forgot to change them to their exact values. UA-cam's compression certainly doesn't help either, my raw MP4 output looks better than this final upload.
This takes me back to my childhood! I remember being 5 or 6 years old playing this with my Dad at our local arcade. I absolutely loved it but I always lost the Darth Vader duel because I was too slow. Just watching this now as an adult makes me wanna track this down and play it again!
Bro, I remember being like four years old at one of those huge arcade/in-door playground McDonald's and hearing this game's attract BLAIR across the whole loud ass arcade. I didn't even know what Star Wars was back then, so I think that arcade cabinet was my first exposure to it. All I remember is seeing Darth Vader kill you in the attract and being a little afraid of it. But the John Williams score echoing around the room was ethereal.
I used to work at an arcade that had a sitdown version of this and all I did was play...I was this good at one point. We turned the machine up to the hardest setting and I had at least the first ten high scores. Why a fun game, great memories of wasting my youth.
It's worth investing in a cheap flight stick rather than playing with a mouse for this game, it makes a lot of difference. I always think mouse aiming takes a bit of the challenge away with on-rail shooters. I've got mine hooked up to a Dolphin bar and play it as a lightgun game. Good run though, I hardly ever manage 100% on the snowspeeder section.
I actually do have a Logitech 3D Pro just lying around, and I have used it to play this game before, which does put a lot of the challenge back into it. While it's definitely truer to the arcade, I just enjoy being able to use a mouse for the sake of it, plus the real difficulty for me is trying to do no damage runs on Very Hard, which is pretty much nigh impossible unless you have the speed of a god with a joystick. I wonder why nobody has ever done a TAS on this game for no damage, perfect hit chain and no misses, I feel like it'd be pretty interesting to see what the highest score possible in this game is. Also, this near-perfect 100% thing I got on this particular run is something I've never done before, mouse or not, there's almost always something somewhere along the line that I miss, this was just really, really lucky.
Watching it again it's pretty close to a perfect run - I think it's impossible to 100% the second Death Star. I noticed you fire at the bunker door in the ewok stage - is that the secret? I'm not too sure on a few of them. It's a shame this never got ported to the dreamcast. They were going to do it with extra levels but it never happened.
@@dan_76 I'm only firing at the doors in both Hoth and Endor because, for some reason, doors don't break hit chains, and I have an itchy trigger finger, so those are perfect targets when I just want to unload for a couple of seconds. I'm not too sure about a lot of the secrets either, there are fifteen, in total, I know that three are the AT-AT takedowns on Hoth and three are the Ewok attacks, but for some reason I get score for secrets some times and other times not. On Yavin's final stage, there's a spot for "Secret" score, but I have no clue what triggers it, I've done runs where I've hit all four TIEs at the end with torpedoes and I got no points.
Yes, I've no idea what the secret is on the trench run is either. The wampa door in the Hoth level is the secret. You hit it a lot so thought you knew. You can get a pretty big bonus by spamming that door. Thanks for confirming the ewoks and At-At's.
I beat this bad boy. Top best gaming experience ever. A small crowd formed to watch me play. I was so deep into this game it's not even funny. This game goes with playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane! Used to play this at the arcade after a good report card. My dad treated me with a 20 bucks in quarters and I went crazy. Beat it at least 100 times and told my mom I saved the universe, too. Haven't thought about it in forever and have no interest in Star Wars anymore but I'm so happy this popped up!
I remember watching so many people play through it and playing it so much myself that I was able to beat the game on 1 credit. The lightsaber battles were the most satisfying, especially when you had an audience watch you beat them.
Ah, my old nemesis the speeder bike chase. Never could get past that part (or any other for that matter). Great video, my dude. Brought back some fond memories.
Jesus christ, I had forgotten about this. I remember the first Endor sequence from my childhood and that I was so afraid and lost all the time because a lot of people always were watching.
Great play-through! Oh man, all those troopers in the speeder bike sequence - I feel would have been more fitting if they'd squeezed in the Wilhelm sound FX as they fell off of them. lol
...MAN SO MANY MEMORIES! At our now closed movie theater, one of my deepest and most vivid recollections is playing this arcade machine. I remember the trench run as well as a hallway shootout, thank you for reminding me about this classic🙌🙌🙌
I am amazed how you managed to no damage the Endor death star mission. I must of played the games hundreds of times back in an arcade next to my hotel on a holiday about 20 years ago and I could never avoid not getting some damage.
remember grinding this and star wars pinball, at an old batting cage that my dad would always take my brother and I to, thanks for bringing the memories back
I remember the r2 scream that played when you die scared/upset me, there was like a 1 or second delay after it played before the continue? screen would showup and Id just immediately run away when I heard r2 yell 😅😂

@@thecatfather857 I know, I know, the Sequels aren't perfect... But hey, there are are a lot of scenes in there that can be EASILY reimagined to fit with the rail shooter gameplay.
The bowling alley in my home town used to have the whole setup for this game. The whole seat, giant tv, and like flight joysticks. They got rid of it when I was like six and I’ve always wanted to find one to play ever since. Crazy to think someone could get so good at this. One of the craziest things I’ve seen someone do
If there was one against Grievous, you would break the control stick from moving it so much. Didn’t the Episode III Novelization say Obi-Wan was blocking like ten lightsaber strikes PER SECOND?
I used to run over to this game at the arcade. My dad would take us and I would dominate this game. I spent hours and hours on it. Memories with my dad I'll never forget. It created my love for Star Wars today.
I remember the unit at my local Mr.Gattis Pizza having the level select screen burned in, and with each returning visit, it became more and more difficult to play beyond the burn in. Collectively, me and my two brothers probably have spent an entire college educations worth of quarters on this game. Sheesh. Good times.
This was my favorite game to play at arcades when I went on vacation but I could never beat a level. Seeing this legend defying the odds gives me ambition to go back and try again.
I’ve been playing this game for years and even now I can STILL beat the whole game on one credit. This was always a lot of fun to play and I’m always trying to beat my high score, my best is over 2 million points, maybe if I’m fast enough to shoot everything.
I would play this game every time I went to my local arcade that was apart of the Scandia amusement park. Even tho I cut my dad out of my life I give him credit for him introducing me to star wars and giving me some great memories despite how awful he was to me and my mom. Thanks for letting me re live a part of my childhood.
Probably the best arcade game of all time. It still holds up and I don't get bored beating it. I can't believe the World Record is somewhere around 3.6 million. I hold the #1 Spot at my local arcade and my score is 2,517,700. I can't imagine how good you have to be to get that as I am pretty good. Hats off to GUY. You got skill my brother. Thanks for uploading the video. I was studying your game! Let's GO!
0:30 "Greater than half the Alliance fleet"? Well, ok, technically, when you have firepower greater than 1000 Alliance fleets you also have firepower greater than half of one...
I believe the terminology is supposed to reflect the entirety of the Alliance forces combined considering that they have much less manpower and are less well equipped than the Empire. A "Fleet" in general can refer to an entire navy, or in this case the Imperial or Rebel Alliance Navy.
My dad would take me to breakfast at bob evans. Hit walmart or Home Depot then take me to the arcade that was down the street. I played this Star Wars game the most. Thanks for this🤙🏻
That has to do with an inconsistent, yet inherent issue with the Super Model 3 emulator which thus far has not been fixed by the developers, and unfortunately there's not much I can do about it without sacrificing other aspects of good playthroughs. The emulator has gone under so many revisions that there are specific issues present in some builds more than others, for instance , in earlier versions, the music wouldn't loop properly and caused a very loud and annoying sound to play at the restart of every track. In other builds, there are graphical issues AND sound issues, some of which still persist to this very day, either that or I have a messed up ROM. The point is, there really isn't a perfect build of the emulator, and unfortunately, this is just about as close as I can get.
@@MARIOGUY789 appreciate the reply. Excellent 1CC run btw. I tried playing a couple nights ago and forgot a lot of it from when I played as a kid. Do you have the inverted issue during the lightsaber bits?
@@skream.mp3351 Sorry for the late reply. The way you fix the inversion during the lightsaber battles is by first going into the Supermodel.ini file and changing the following parameters for the swtrilogy rom: InputAnalogJoyX = "MOUSE_XAXIS_INV" InputAnalogJoyY = "MOUSE_YAXIS_INV" Next, start the game and go into the test menu by pressing 7 or 8 on the keyboard and then use those keys to navigate to Calibration Test and change the lever setting to up -> down, down -> up. Lastly, go into the Game Assignments submenu and change the cabinet from Deluxe to U/R. This should solve the issue if you're playing with a mouse and keyboard. If you need more information, sign up for a supermodel3 forum account and then check out this link: www.supermodel3.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1389&sid=d59771ddfa1beaa4d9c0139f58ecb7fd (They have disallowed connections to the site from unregistered users, but the account is free and you're under no obligations except for site rules).
Playing this as a kid, the lightsaber sequences were mind-blowing. The way the joystick shook whenever you deflected a Boba Fett's shots, or blocked Vader's attack. Literally felt like you were wielding an actual lightsaber in your hand back in the day
While it is doable in both emulation and on real hardware, the fact that I have the advantage of mouse and keyboard controls does make the challenge much easier. That's not to say it wasn't difficult though, what you don't see here is the hours worth of practice and attempts that it took me to get this one run through. Thanks a bunch for your comment.

The only one I ever saw as a kid in chuck e cheese was almost always broken. I could only watch the demo screen on it. Never got to play it from what I remember. I would sit in it . The pod racer one was hard to find for me too until I found it at Disney Quest .
@@tychoradio4415 man, I'm sorry to hear that.
The Chuck E. Cheese in north cal had this growing up. It was my favorite game from back in the day.
17:10 Luke my dude, you didn't need to flex on Vader like that. He's already suffering enough as is.
According to Legends, this is the Star Wars equivalent of tea bagging.
@@randomduck8679 I see it more like dabbing
More like "The Tea Force Bagging/Dabbing". xD
That's what he gets for killing the younglings. Ah what am I even saying? Those little fuckers had it coming!
@@randomduck8679 Please tell me where I can find this.
This intro brought me way the hell back.
I’ll never forget this 5 year old child prodigy who hogged this machine for hours on end. He managed to get to the very end of the game, and threw the most monumental fit of all time after dying at the end and having no more quarters. I can’t say I blame him, though.
Probably was me. I brought 50 bucks in quarters just for this game at Chuck E. Cheese and hogged it until I beat the entire game.
@@Grigsy hell yeah. I wish arcades were as commonplace as they once were.
@@SplendidCoffee0 my grandma and grandpa drank while I played the game. I remember that day fondly. RIP grandma and grandpa and thanks to them for encouraging me to enjoy games and computers as a kid.
Ok, I can say that, as someone who has played the Death Star II reactor run countless times, that was REALLY impressive. It's hard for me to explain how impressive that was.
They're just elite. Even if this is a rom, they're using a mouse and have memorized the exact placement of all enemies on screen in sequence lol. Truly impressive.
@@kelvintam814 Yeah, and I’d thought that I had much of the game (especially the ground sequence on Hoth) down. But this just blows what I can do out of the water.
@@kelvintam814 playing with a mouse is infinitely easier then with the stick that always pushed back to center, aiming with a mouse is stupid easy
@@undine5938 Year old comment, but yeah, mouse aiming in most games meant to be played with joysticks takes a ton of the challenge away. I probably wouldn’t survive past Hoth if this were real hardware on Very Hard difficulty. This run was still no cakewalk though, in fact, most of the runs I do I always take hits and miss enemies, this run was an exception rare exception where I didn’t get hit and also cleared almost everything. Definitely going to try again some day though.
You could say...MOST impressive.
Oh, the nostalgia. I played this so much at Chuck E Cheese.
The chuck E Cheese I use to go to had the pirate game with the wheel
This was always a go-to machine for me whenever I was in the arcade. I actually can't believe this game is 23 years old, I had no idea growing up how old it was.
Disney and Sega need to bring this to consoles and steam bundled with the 1993 Star Wars arcade and Racer Arcade too
Don’t forget Star Wars Starfighter. That had an arcade release too
How well you did in this game in the arcades completely depended on the controller and in what shape it was. Some were in great condition and allowed precise aiming. Others … not so much.
Vader: "This station is impenetrable"
Japanese: "YEEEET!"
Nicely done. I used to work at a theater and they had this game in the arcade and I played the hell out of it. love the game. Great job on the no damage.
“Woah-ho-ho, that’s it!”
That certainly isn’t annoying.
@Lucy In Disguise I've concocted a new recipe
He you guys are all great.
I’m sure the game developers didn’t expect anybody to do as well as this dude did… so that sound-byte probably only plays, typically, once or twice.
It's supposed to be a cue that your group kills raised your Force Meter, which lessens the damage you take. Although you have to go extremely out of your way to *lower* that meter via friendly fire, so the meter is kinda moot for 97% of the game.
15:53
I call that a masterful play.
Worthy of a Jedi Master.
👍👍👍👍👍
MAN THIS WAS MY SHIT A KID. I’ll never forget seeing the full arcade set for this game. Some places had your average arcade set up but when Gatti Town used to be here they had the full set up with the bench seat, table, big screen, it was too badass as a child lol. I could never get past the Vader fight but the game was one of the most fun Star Wars games of all time. Whoever developed this understood what kind of game they were making
It's super fun to see the game fully completed. Whenever I have the chance, I always try to complete this game in arcades. I never get good scores, but it's fun to try.
How this hasn’t been reimagined as a modern VR game is beyond me.
I didn't even know this game existed until today.
@@Hei_Darkfire😐
They actually kinda DID do one. It's not in VR, but the perspective is about as close to it as you can get. It's called Star Wars Battle Pod. I don't think it's as good, but the *speed* of that game is something else.
It doesn't have on-foot sections or lightsaber minigames, but instead you get a bonus mission after the Endor Space level where you play as Vader right after the first Death Star blows up in an alternate timeline where you mercilessly gun down the Rebels trying to get back to their base.
3:08
"Use The Force, Luke"
"Let go, Luke"
It's funny that at no point in this game do they call you Luke despite you clearly controlling him for more than half the game. You're just a nameless Rebel in Luke's and sometimes Han's place.
For an arcade game from the mid 90s this looks dope as hell probably would’ve played this a handful of times if I was around back then I freaking loved going to arcades as a kid
1999 I was 4 years old playing this game at the arcade in Chuck E Cheese.
I remember with this specific level of being in outer space, I had a panic attack, got out of the seat, started crying and ran to my Dad. He picked me up and consoled me.
I still played it every time after I went to Chuck E Cheese years later lol. Good times. I miss these games going to the arcades and I miss the 90’s.
My dad would take me to the local Chuck E Cheese just to play this. For whatever reason, I really seemed to get a kick out of Hoth, including the part where I’d shoot the ever-living crap out of the rebels as they were trying to flee.
@@MARIOGUY789 meant to reply weeks ago but that’s awesome 😎 lol you are a legend for posting this!
Saw a this Game at a Arcade Area of an UK Airport like 25 or even 26 years ago. I was thrilled. Kept looking at the Pictures and Videos. And i was like: "It's 1998...this isn't supossed to look this good yet."
Thanks for this video. Seemed like every time I went to the arcade, some kid had busted the control stick and it never worked right. So it was great seeing what the actual game looked like
The one thing I'd add to this game is have the Executor be a boss.
This is incredible, I cant believe I'm seeing this again, I loved this game so much, by far my favorite arcade game of all time, I was so distraught when my local peter pipers removed its cabinet, arcades were never the same again for me
Editorial Note: Please pardon the bitrate, I had to reinstall Windows twice last week, so all of my OBS recording settings were reset and I forgot to change them to their exact values. UA-cam's compression certainly doesn't help either, my raw MP4 output looks better than this final upload.
You could add a download link to the original file(dropbox, google drive, one drive)
@@MarCuseus Indeed, I could do that. in fact, I just might later on. Thanks for that suggestion.
@@MARIOGUY789 You're welcome :)
The youtube compression is quite terrible.
I remember playing this at Chuck E Cheeses and being terrified of the Wampas lol
This takes me back to my childhood! I remember being 5 or 6 years old playing this with my Dad at our local arcade. I absolutely loved it but I always lost the Darth Vader duel because I was too slow. Just watching this now as an adult makes me wanna track this down and play it again!
Bro, I remember being like four years old at one of those huge arcade/in-door playground McDonald's and hearing this game's attract BLAIR across the whole loud ass arcade. I didn't even know what Star Wars was back then, so I think that arcade cabinet was my first exposure to it. All I remember is seeing Darth Vader kill you in the attract and being a little afraid of it. But the John Williams score echoing around the room was ethereal.
When I played this as a kid the stage on Hoth when you’re trying to escape Echo Base the Wampa’s always scared me.
hahahaha listening to the scout troopers scream when they fall of their speeders is amusing.
I used to work at an arcade that had a sitdown version of this and all I did was play...I was this good at one point. We turned the machine up to the hardest setting and I had at least the first ten high scores. Why a fun game, great memories of wasting my youth.
It's worth investing in a cheap flight stick rather than playing with a mouse for this game, it makes a lot of difference. I always think mouse aiming takes a bit of the challenge away with on-rail shooters. I've got mine hooked up to a Dolphin bar and play it as a lightgun game. Good run though, I hardly ever manage 100% on the snowspeeder section.
I actually do have a Logitech 3D Pro just lying around, and I have used it to play this game before, which does put a lot of the challenge back into it. While it's definitely truer to the arcade, I just enjoy being able to use a mouse for the sake of it, plus the real difficulty for me is trying to do no damage runs on Very Hard, which is pretty much nigh impossible unless you have the speed of a god with a joystick. I wonder why nobody has ever done a TAS on this game for no damage, perfect hit chain and no misses, I feel like it'd be pretty interesting to see what the highest score possible in this game is. Also, this near-perfect 100% thing I got on this particular run is something I've never done before, mouse or not, there's almost always something somewhere along the line that I miss, this was just really, really lucky.
Watching it again it's pretty close to a perfect run - I think it's impossible to 100% the second Death Star. I noticed you fire at the bunker door in the ewok stage - is that the secret? I'm not too sure on a few of them.
It's a shame this never got ported to the dreamcast. They were going to do it with extra levels but it never happened.
@@dan_76 I'm only firing at the doors in both Hoth and Endor because, for some reason, doors don't break hit chains, and I have an itchy trigger finger, so those are perfect targets when I just want to unload for a couple of seconds. I'm not too sure about a lot of the secrets either, there are fifteen, in total, I know that three are the AT-AT takedowns on Hoth and three are the Ewok attacks, but for some reason I get score for secrets some times and other times not. On Yavin's final stage, there's a spot for "Secret" score, but I have no clue what triggers it, I've done runs where I've hit all four TIEs at the end with torpedoes and I got no points.
Yes, I've no idea what the secret is on the trench run is either. The wampa door in the Hoth level is the secret. You hit it a lot so thought you knew. You can get a pretty big bonus by spamming that door. Thanks for confirming the ewoks and At-At's.
It runs on the Supermodel3 emulator.
I beat this bad boy. Top best gaming experience ever. A small crowd formed to watch me play. I was so deep into this game it's not even funny. This game goes with playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time.
Holy shit I remember this from my child hood man... Played this on an arcade years ago...
This, House of the Dead 2, and Silent scope were my jam! So many quarters, such a good time!
So nostalgic! I used to watch people play this on an arcade machine whenever I go ice skating with my mom and sister and sometimes my dad too!
Thank you for the walk down memory lane! Used to play this at the arcade after a good report card. My dad treated me with a 20 bucks in quarters and I went crazy. Beat it at least 100 times and told my mom I saved the universe, too. Haven't thought about it in forever and have no interest in Star Wars anymore but I'm so happy this popped up!
I remember watching so many people play through it and playing it so much myself that I was able to beat the game on 1 credit. The lightsaber battles were the most satisfying, especially when you had an audience watch you beat them.
Ah, my old nemesis the speeder bike chase. Never could get past that part (or any other for that matter). Great video, my dude. Brought back some fond memories.
Great job. Beating the endor space battle without getting hit is nearly impossible. It's the only part I take damage on. :)
Jesus christ, I had forgotten about this. I remember the first Endor sequence from my childhood and that I was so afraid and lost all the time because a lot of people always were watching.
Vader: "We are prepared for anything, i have 100% certainty nothing can go wrong"
luke *exists*
Vader: "ok, 98%"
Great play-through! Oh man, all those troopers in the speeder bike sequence - I feel would have been more fitting if they'd squeezed in the Wilhelm sound FX as they fell off of them. lol
The graphics of this game for that time were amazing!
...MAN SO MANY MEMORIES! At our now closed movie theater, one of my deepest and most vivid recollections is playing this arcade machine. I remember the trench run as well as a hallway shootout, thank you for reminding me about this classic🙌🙌🙌
I am amazed how you managed to no damage the Endor death star mission. I must of played the games hundreds of times back in an arcade next to my hotel on a holiday about 20 years ago and I could never avoid not getting some damage.
Good. Gooooood. Let the nostalgia flow through you
Ahhh. Back when Star Wars was untainted and still perfection. Those were the days.
remember grinding this and star wars pinball, at an old batting cage that my dad would always take my brother and I to, thanks for bringing the memories back
I remember the r2 scream that played when you die scared/upset me, there was like a 1 or second delay after it played before the continue? screen would showup and Id just immediately run away when I heard r2 yell 😅😂
Holy god damn THROWBACK yo...My grandmother used to take to this Arcade and it had a booth for this game. Wow that took me waaaay back lol thank you.
This needs to be rereleased by Sega & Disney with the prequels & sequels

No Sequels. Just the Originals and the Prequels.
@@thecatfather857 I know, I know, the Sequels aren't perfect...
But hey, there are are a lot of scenes in there that can be EASILY reimagined to fit with the rail shooter gameplay.
Do you ever feel like the algorithm knows you too well?
This is pure nostalgia into my veins, thanks for the great vid!
Damn, I remember playing this at the arcade, I kinda miss playing it now
The bowling alley in my home town used to have the whole setup for this game. The whole seat, giant tv, and like flight joysticks. They got rid of it when I was like six and I’ve always wanted to find one to play ever since. Crazy to think someone could get so good at this. One of the craziest things I’ve seen someone do
16:00 imagine a episode 3 version against Anakin you would be swinging the lightsaber non stop
Hahaha!
Arcade owners: Damn! That's the 5th broken joystick this week!
If there was one against Grievous, you would break the control stick from moving it so much. Didn’t the Episode III Novelization say Obi-Wan was blocking like ten lightsaber strikes PER SECOND?
I used to run over to this game at the arcade. My dad would take us and I would dominate this game. I spent hours and hours on it. Memories with my dad I'll never forget. It created my love for Star Wars today.
This game was incredibly hard to beat back in the day
I remember the unit at my local Mr.Gattis Pizza having the level select screen burned in, and with each returning visit, it became more and more difficult to play beyond the burn in. Collectively, me and my two brothers probably have spent an entire college educations worth of quarters on this game. Sheesh. Good times.
Dude where at I remember the same exact thing at Mr. Gattis
I remember playing this at the arcade in the Early 2000s
This was my favorite game to play at arcades when I went on vacation but I could never beat a level. Seeing this legend defying the odds gives me ambition to go back and try again.
I played this game on my 6th birthday party at magic castle…holy shit this is bringing back memories. Good times.
I’ve been playing this game for years and even now I can STILL beat the whole game on one credit. This was always a lot of fun to play and I’m always trying to beat my high score, my best is over 2 million points, maybe if I’m fast enough to shoot everything.
"He can see things before they happen, it's why he appears to have such quick reflexes, it's a Jedi trick."
Idk how this got into my recommended but goddamn is this a nostalgia trip
This was always my favorite arcade game! Still have never understood the light meter tho
This game was ahead of its time!
15:42
I remember being 10 years old getting that message when playing this in the arcade, I shit myself along my cousins around my age. 🤣
XD
I would play this game every time I went to my local arcade that was apart of the Scandia amusement park. Even tho I cut my dad out of my life I give him credit for him introducing me to star wars and giving me some great memories despite how awful he was to me and my mom. Thanks for letting me re live a part of my childhood.
These graphics are insane for 1998
Probably the best arcade game of all time. It still holds up and I don't get bored beating it. I can't believe the World Record is somewhere around 3.6 million. I hold the #1 Spot at my local arcade and my score is 2,517,700. I can't imagine how good you have to be to get that as I am pretty good. Hats off to GUY. You got skill my brother. Thanks for uploading the video. I was studying your game! Let's GO!
8:07 i like how Luke decides to take a short detour to massacre the wampas who were otherwise in an isolated room🤣
I love the little ewoks there so funny and adorable
This was my game! Beat multiple times in the arcade and still played every chance I got.
Reminds me of myself when I used to game. I could no damage this game in the arcade with a crowd cheering me on.
Yeah right
aint it , mofos would gather around to watch you play
1:40 Those precission shots are *chef's kiss*
0:30 "Greater than half the Alliance fleet"? Well, ok, technically, when you have firepower greater than 1000 Alliance fleets you also have firepower greater than half of one...
I believe the terminology is supposed to reflect the entirety of the Alliance forces combined considering that they have much less manpower and are less well equipped than the Empire. A "Fleet" in general can refer to an entire navy, or in this case the Imperial or Rebel Alliance Navy.
@@MARIOGUY789 I know, I was just joking
My dad would take me to breakfast at bob evans. Hit walmart or Home Depot then take me to the arcade that was down the street. I played this Star Wars game the most. Thanks for this🤙🏻
This is actually my favorite arcade game. It always costs a little more than most arcade games but I happily pay it because it’s so good.
My kiddy brain just refuse to handle inversed light saber fight back then. Still couldn't now.😵💫
Why did the graphics inside the Death Star black out?
That has to do with an inconsistent, yet inherent issue with the Super Model 3 emulator which thus far has not been fixed by the developers, and unfortunately there's not much I can do about it without sacrificing other aspects of good playthroughs. The emulator has gone under so many revisions that there are specific issues present in some builds more than others, for instance , in earlier versions, the music wouldn't loop properly and caused a very loud and annoying sound to play at the restart of every track. In other builds, there are graphical issues AND sound issues, some of which still persist to this very day, either that or I have a messed up ROM. The point is, there really isn't a perfect build of the emulator, and unfortunately, this is just about as close as I can get.
@@MARIOGUY789 appreciate the reply. Excellent 1CC run btw. I tried playing a couple nights ago and forgot a lot of it from when I played as a kid. Do you have the inverted issue during the lightsaber bits?
@@skream.mp3351 Sorry for the late reply. The way you fix the inversion during the lightsaber battles is by first going into the Supermodel.ini file and changing the following parameters for the swtrilogy rom:
InputAnalogJoyX = "MOUSE_XAXIS_INV"
InputAnalogJoyY = "MOUSE_YAXIS_INV"
Next, start the game and go into the test menu by pressing 7 or 8 on the keyboard and then use those keys to navigate to Calibration Test and change the lever setting to up -> down, down -> up.
Lastly, go into the Game Assignments submenu and change the cabinet from Deluxe to U/R.
This should solve the issue if you're playing with a mouse and keyboard.

Playing this as a kid, the lightsaber sequences were mind-blowing. The way the joystick shook whenever you deflected a Boba Fett's shots, or blocked Vader's attack. Literally felt like you were wielding an actual lightsaber in your hand back in the day
"Impressive. Most impressive."
Loved the arcade games back then! I always appreciate a good throwback game!
Bruh they only added the wampa room just for you to execute them on the spot.
I saw a guy do exactly this at an arcade like 20 years ago. Blew my young mind. Thanks for sharing this
i bet this is SOOOO much easier with a mouse using an emulator. it was so hard in the arcade using the controls and hoping they werent broken!
And here I thought a no damage run couldn't be done. You've impressed me, sir
While it is doable in both emulation and on real hardware, the fact that I have the advantage of mouse and keyboard controls does make the challenge much easier. That's not to say it wasn't difficult though, what you don't see here is the hours worth of practice and attempts that it took me to get this one run through. Thanks a bunch for your comment.
8:12-8:17, 8:20-9:40 I’ll make this wampa out of the rug. 10:55 😝 17:01 Darth Vader 21:48 💥
