Parts 1 and 2 were pretty good but too much of Atari Star Wars though.
Im going to watch Part 3 of the Looking back of star wars games at gametrailers.com

Though I was totally born after 1985, I was lucky enough to actually try some of these games thanks to my dads old school collections.
I gotta say though, some of those games are as we'd say
"ghet-toe"
But anything SW I love.
Are you going to be posting the next installments of these movies? A SW arcade game I loved so was the SW trilogy. It was in theatres right after the SE release, and it had a huge screen and a seat with a joystick. When flying the X-wings to do the DS run, you actually felt like you were flying. Though, I was never lucky enough to make it to the Vader duel, even then I don't think I could do it.

Actually if I heard the narrator correctly, the dude who played for 54 hours accomplished his feat in 2005. In any case, that's a sick amount of nonstop gaming. I bet his parents are proud. 
Not just non-stop, but only on ONE credit and continuous replay... impressive and insane!

That was covered in installment 2, if I recall correctly.

Hmm, seems like there were a few errors in this installment- some small (Montross pronounced "Mantross"), some larger (other games have had original music besides Republic Commando, such as Bounty Hunter & Rogue Squadron), and some odd (they mention Super Bombad Racing, but not Pit Droids or The Gungan Frontier?).

The Vader duel wasn't too hard after you play it a enough times to get the pattern down. The thing that made it so hard to beat successfully was, IIRC, you didn't have any room for error- if you missed one of the openings to strike at Vader, you couldn't amount enough hits to defeat him before the events finished playing (essentially time running out). The Fett duel, by comparison, let you miss once or twice, I think, and still be able to take him down.
The second Endor level, however, was impossible to go through on a single play- damn TIE Interceptors everywhere. I could do the whole game through on one credit (maybe two, depending on what difficulty level it was set at, and how responsive the controls were [some semi-busted ones actually made it impossible to beat teh game because you couldn't physically target one area of the screen where you had to take down a target on the reactor core, for example]), but needed at least 3, on average, to finish the Endor space battle.

Was the actual name for that game just "Star Wars: the trilogy" or did it have another name? I've been looking for gameplay footage on youtube for a year or two now, and I just can't find a trace.
I loved the death star run game, it was toooo sick. Emulators are jesus with controls.

Ah, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter...of an era when people actually cared if the single player mode sucked.

Seeing Super ROTJ reminded me of this, don't read if you hate Ewoks:
If you used the cheat to select any character on any level, then Wicket would deck the Emperor. It was something like 5-6 arrows and the Emperor was dead!
