Topic: Best SW video games?

I didn't really know where to put this so here it is.

I am still playing N64 Pod racer and Shadows of the Empire because I own a Mac and a lot of computer based games don't release Mac versions still. I used to play the hell out of the Super Nintendo Star Wars games, especially the Empire and Jedi versions. So I am basically a Nintendo fan.

So my question to all of you who are gamers is...

If I am going to buy a consoled system which one has the best selection of SW games? I especially like stuff from the "classic" Star Was series but I want something that I can play a wide variety of SW games on that have good graphics and interesting back stories.

BTW does anyone know if they ever made a Tie simulator  for Mac? I checked around the net and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for any feedback...:)

Hmm, my reccomandations.... Well, I have to say definitly pick up the SNES games. Finding the actual cartridges can be hard, but if you don't mind ROMs you can get those. I know for a fact there are Mac SNES emulators, so it shouldn't be a major problem. I only played Shadows of the Empire on the computer, but N64 games suck on a keyboard, so stay away from that if possible. The Battlefront games are good as well, provided you can afford a somewhat current console (PS2 are pretty cheap now...). Beyond them I don't have anything else though.

I hope that helps.

the top ones? dark forces, shadows of the empire, and KotOR.

Get Windows. ;)

Well my favorites were always Republic Commando, Battlefront and KOTOR. Not sure if those are the best overall though.

I'd say a computer, anything that'll be on the xbox will be on a windows. Let's you play Kotor, Battlefront, etc.

Or just stay with Shadows of the Empire, that's a fun game, especially 'Gall Space Station', I think, the one where you fight Boba. It's been a while since I've played.

The last star wars game I played was 'The Force Unleashed' for Wii.

(I'd say this belongs in Serious Geeking or General...)

*Moved to General*

I have never owned anything but an Apple or a Mac and that will probably not change until the ice caps completely melt. That's why I am looking for a consoled system and games that are good with it. But thanks for the suggestion :)

I'd tell you outright to get a Wii, then, but there aren't very many SW games on it (just one, I belive...) if you're only looking into them (there needs to be more though. Using the Wiimote would be awesome!). You could try investing into a PS2 though. Pretty cheap and larger veriety. I still stand by my picks though.

Yeah see I'm the opposite, I grew up entirely on Windows. Macs just completely confuse me. Even moreso now since, last month aside, the last time I used one was more then 10 years ago.

that many are on the wii.

Oh, yeah I forgot about all them. They didn't get half as much talk or airtime as Force Unleashed, probably why I totally forgot.

You do realize that modern "Macs" are literally just re-branded parts from Seagate, Nvidia/ATI, Intel and Western Digital, marked up to double the price because there's an Apple logo on them, right?

Apple hasn't made their own hardware in over a decade, and now you LITERALLY are getting a PC, and at twice the price.  You can even run OS/X on AMD chipsets nowadays, since it's just BSD.  (I actually dual booted it long enough to get Apple Genius certification, and I don't have a single piece of "Apple" hardware on this thing)

Old school I would say Rogue Squadron. The latest would be Force unleashed or KOTOR.

No question about it.

Knights of the Old Republic(first one) IS the best Star Wars game ever made.

In my opinion :D

It is good. I am going through it for the 2nd time. Wanted to see how the true jedi one turned out
