AT-AT aka: Giant Robot Camels

I remember my local movie theatre arcade getting a deluxe sit-down unit 2 weeks before the Phantom Menace came out. I went back the day Phantom Menace opened and the line to play this game was nearly as long as getting tickets.

I'm a big [pre-Disney] Stat Wars fan and this is one of my all time favorite arcade games alongside Konami X-Men, Time Crisis, House of the Dead 2, Galaga, and Street Fighter 2. BTW for those who aren't Star Wars nerds, the little walkers in level 2 are called "AT-STs".

I would definitely like to play this since it focuses on the original trilogy. I’ve seen all of the star wars films and those are the only ones I say are actually good

What a coincidence! This was my first game I played in an arcade when first coming to Japan about 25 years ago... There was a line for it... I was just thinking about it this morning!

It’s a classic and not an easy game either

i played this game every time that i saw it in arcades when i was a kid and I got it down to two credits to complete the game. The only part that I sucked at was the lightsaber mini games. The inverted flight controls with the light saber broke my brain every time. Last planet is Endor. Its the planet you're on with the speeder bikes.

This is the best Star Wars game for me. You have Sega who made brilliant arcade games, and Star Wars just featuring the original 3 films. Everything after leaves me cold. I agree a couple of the stages are slower paced, but to get the most out of it you have to engage with the scoring system - which is don't miss shots and get consecutive kills. Played that way it has brilliant pacing as the on foot section really reward accuracy. It's not too difficult to 1CC so it's an almost perfectly paced arcade game. Played with a lightgun enhances everything about it, particularly thé lightsaber duels. It has almost 1:1 mapping and those bonus levels are a great little mix up in the action. Up there with Outrun 2 as one of Sega's best. If only they had made Battle Pod - which looks fantastic but lacks the gameplay of this.

It’s def my fav. But the good thing is there’s a ton of good SW games so people have lots to pick from

I'm playing it in Supermodel and the hardest thing is getting the controls to feel anything like I remember from the arcade. I have a decent analog stick gamepad, the trick is getting the computer to register it in the game at the right cursor speed. I can use the mouse in a pinch, I'm running it through both MouseKeys and AntiMicro, and so for precision shots like the second death star or the assists in Hoth I have to use the mouse or get very lucky. The fun of the walking levels is in getting high combos by not missing any shots and finding all the secrets like when to use the event button to trigger helpers for extra points, it's a different kind of action than the ship combat. Of course if you just blast away the same way it's not going to be as fun, you're playing the game wrong, according to how it's been designed. I'm surprised you didn't even mention the best part, the lightsaber combat bonus levels, a duel with Boba Fett after clearing two stages and with Darth Vader after all three, and given that you use Luke's green lightsaber and blow up the death star, I think for most of the game you're meant to be playing as Luke, with the run through echo base being probably Han or Leia. You have to be a main character or else why are you boarding the Falcon? And then you're Luke or Leia on the speeder bikes and Han or Leia outside the base. If you didn't like the lightsaber parts I have to think that has a lot to do with why you didn't like the movies, that's supposed to trigger a 'cool' response in your brain that seems to be missing. Anyway, if Top Gun Maverick was referencing Star Wars with them blowing off the hatch first, it was just replicating the ending of The Force Awakens, where they have to bomb a hole in the oscillator from outside, then fly inside and bomb the core separately. The real reason for the no hatch was addressed in Rogue One, because it's an intentional self destruct mechanism. If you're wondering why the Empire doesn't go around putting hatches on every exhaust port just in case, it's the same logic that keeps them from installing railing by all the deadly pits. They are on a budget.

Get a flight stick. Makes a world of difference

Sega should have ported Model 3 games to PS4. I'd buy them. It makes no sense to me that they took the super-cautious approach, only really releasing Yakuza games. And, Border Break which was phenomenally popular in Japan never got an English translation.

Hello, many thanks for your work, I really need your advice and professional opinion, I recently saw a monitor from the Phillips MC15601 HD11 ultrasound equipment at a flea market, it is about 14", has BNC connectors on the back with the inscription "B", "GV", "R", "SYNC" and also VGA. On eBay such a one costs about $ 400-800. And at the flea market such a one costs 2000 rubles, tell me is this a good option for a mister, and should I expect that this monitor has a higher quality tube than in ordinary monitors. With respect, Maxim.
