Alex Kane over at StarWars.com caught up with Limited Games co-owner Josh Fairhurst to discuss these new released, starting off with Shadows of the Empire.
StarWars.com: It’s funny. Shadows was the first Star Wars game I ever played, which is pretty common for my generation, and then Empire Strikes Back on the Game Boy was the first Star Wars game I actually owned. Do you have any special memories of these particular titles?
Josh Fairhurst: I’m probably not much older than you. I’m 32, so the N64 was a pretty big console for me. I could have played some of the older games, but my family never really had good computers, so every time I’d get a Star Wars game for PC expecting to be able to play, my computer would never run it. So Shadows of the Empire was my first time actually getting to play a fully 3D, real Star Wars game, and kind of getting engrossed in that universe in video-game form. Which was huge for me, as a fan of the movies.
I wasn’t very good at that game as a kid; I’m much better at it now. So most of my memories of Shadows of the Empire revolve around just playing that Hoth sequence over and over and over again, ’cause I was just miserably bad at any levels beyond that. But I loved going through Echo Base and taking down the AT-ATs. I have very fond memories of that game, because it was an early launch-window N64 title, and there weren’t a whole lot of games to play on the system at the time. I probably played that game for like a hundred hours.
