Lit Shall We Play a Game? - Arranging Video Game Storylines By Level

The LucasArts website has a poll that we should all probably vote in:

Is it important that a Star Wars game fits closely within expanded universe continuity?


o Absolutely.

o Yes, but there is room for forgiveness for the sake of game play.

o Not really.

o What is expanded universe continuity?

If we want better games, within continuity, voting 1 would probably give them the hint. So far its ahead (45%), with #2 a close second (34%).

 

Voted. Still around 45%.

-Ish.

 

Just bumping this in the hope that someone will add to it especially as Battlefront II is out! So come on people, this has been one of my fave threads especially cos I don't have some of these games!

 

Hi all,

Been a while since I posted an update, but now Ive spent all arvo working on the new improved "Shall We Play A Game?".

And without further delay...

Shall we play a game?

Cheers for the info, was waiting for someone to contribute BFII details. Will incorporate them into the next update

 

Found this commercial for the NES Star Wars game.

"Star Wars, a Force stronger than your parents!"

 

Yeah, Ive got that, plus a whole bunch more that I'm hoping to get on a dvd project someday. keep an eye on originaltrilogy.com for detail

 

kgray: if you don't mind, could I have a bit moe information on the later levels of the TPM game, just so I can more accuratly place them in the list?

 

Wow Funny you ask for the later levels of that game cuz the truth of it is that My Girlfriend had it on the PC a couple years ago and I only got to play thru to level 4 when her computer crashed. So its been a while since I played it and the funny thing is that I just ordered the game again on amazon a couple days ago So Im currently awaiting it.

However I did find a walkthrough that looks like it gives a good level summary for ya so i think it should help. http://www.gamespot.com/features/tpm_gg/walk.html
As for the Placement of the Battlefront 2 levels and how they integrate with Revenge of the sith I played both games back to back And it seemed like those 2 Games were suppose to go hand in hand. I highly suggest playin the 2 in that order and seein how it pans out.

 

I tried playin everything that dealt with the battle of Geonosis and I noticed a couple kinks in my list. I also have to try to figure out wher the Rhen Var and kashyyk missions on BF1 fit in with the clone wars game. ill post an update soon.
why isnt this topic in the games section?

 

Because it deals with the games' stories and their place in the EU, rather than their gameplay.

 

Hi all,

Well, I've been gone for awhile, but I finally battled through the NES and Game Boy versions of Star Wars, and survived to tell the tale. Better late than never, huh? Yay!!

Star Wars
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_004.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_005.jpg]

The game came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System (1991) and Nintendo Game Boy (1992). There was also releases for the Sega Master System (1993) and Sega Game Gear (1993). The NES release marked the end of a seven year dry spell for console Star Wars games. Both Nintendo versions play entirely the same. Game designers did an impressive job fitting all levels and gameplay elements into the Game Boy version. I used the NES game manual to figure out the names and layouts of each level. The Nintendo versions will be the ones covered below.

Level 1 - Tatooine

"...The Tatooine Desert is a desolate wilderness, populated by dangerous creatures. Accompanied by your new droid, C-3PO, you are searching for the runaway droid, R2-D2..."

The game starts off with Luke's search for Artoo. The entire planet of Tatooine is laid out as a single, vast level. One can go from the Jawa Sandcrawler to the Cantina at Mos Eisley, then head back to meet Obi-Wan and get your father's lightsaber and journal to a few caves. I'll try and breakdown the different locales as described in the manual.

"Tatooine Desert"
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_025.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_029.jpg]

The player controls Luke as he travels across the planet on his landspeeder. The view is top-down. In the desert there are many radar dishes, roving banthas, probe droids, and laser turrets. If Luke comes into contact with these baddies, or their weapons fire, he takes damage. The landspeeder cannot fire back, just accelerate away. The main point of vehicle section is to get to the other parts of Tatooine.

"Tatooine Caves"
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_059.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_063.jpg]

There are a number of caves scattered across the Tatooine desert. Most of them involve Luke jumping around and shooting creatures, Sandpeople, and some other alien. There are small shield icons that can be used to upgrade the shields of the Falcon for level 2.

"Sandcrawler"
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_034.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_039.jpg]

Who knew the inside of a sandcrawler was so huge! Artoo needs to be rescued from Jawas. There's even a cameo of a Battle Droid!

"Obi-Wan's Cave"
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_044.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_050.jpg]

Luke's encounter with Obi-Wan seems to take place inside a cave, rather than at his home. Maybe the game is just conveying a bad representation of the Jedi's home; though he'd need to do something about that killer bug problem, and the nasty houseguest!!

"Mos Eisley"
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_070.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_072.jpg]

The streets of Mos Eisley prove to be deadly. There's even an encounter with Boba Fett (specifically mentioned as a character in the NES manual).

"Mos Eisley Cantina"
[image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_071.png] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/gby_starwars_073.jpg] [image=http://danielc.bol.ucla.edu/starwarspics/nes_starwars_073.png] [image=http://danie

 

Nice work Daniel, looks like its going to get a bit crowded up there. I might have to include a brief description of each level to better co-ordinate them continuity-wise

 

Actually, that "Boba Fett" may not be him after all. The video game enemy corresponds to a picture of an unnamed bounty hunter in Galaxy Guide 10: Bounty Hunters almost exactly, right down to the little antenna on his jetpack.

 

just to let everyone know, to make this thread a bit easier to navigate, I've just set up a website with all the info. I'm only up to year 0 at the mo, and haven't had chance to incorporate DanielC's NES info above, but rest assured it will be done.

check it out here http://daveytod.bravehost.com/

 

Great idea TOD-UK!! It makes sense to see it all on one site. More room for additional info.

I did notice a few things that were left off the list:

1) The Empire Strikes Back for Atari 2600 & Intellivision

2) Return of the Jedi (Arcade) - levels 2 and 3

3) Demolition was release for PS1 and Dreamcast

4) Jedi Power Battles was released for PS1 and Dreamcast (and the GBA, but I don't know if the levels coorespond to the ones in the console versions)

danielc56

 

ok, finished putting the entire list on the site, as well as going through this whole thread and incorporatng all the information contributed so far, so please check it out and enjoy

 

Battlefront

Assault on Kamino
Mountaintop Defences



Clone Wars

Lvl 4: Evacuation Of Rhen Var

Raxus Prime Missions

Kashyyyk Moon Missions



Republic Commando

Battle Of Kashyyyk



Clone Wars

Rhen Var Missions

Thule Missions

Im not so sure about the setting for Battlefronts "mountaintop defence" in it, You are attacking a seperatists base to take for your own. In Clone Wars Lvl 4, It seems that the seperatists are heading to Rhen Var from across the galaxy cuz they just found out about a republic outpost on the planet.

 

A note on the Battlefront II levels... The post-ROTS levels are probably spread out over the course of several years, and don't all take place in 0 BBY

TC

 

since I don't have those 2, do you fancy putting forward a quick description, and a guess at a better time placement?

 

Merry Xmas everyone

 

No Chewie?? What were they thinking?!?!?

Btw, Merry Christmas everyone.

 

anyone got Empire AT War yet?
