    I want to say X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter, but if I’m being honest it was probably Dark Forces.

      Dark Forces was one of the first FPSes to have true 3D not 2.5D. I remember specifically one mission where you had to climb on top of an elevator, and that felt awesome. Plus the way your blaster beams would bounce around the room!

      Also, the original X-Wing was one of my favorite games of all time. I didn’t like TIE Fighter as much because the Rebel ships were a bit too bullet-spongey. I preferred shooting the hard-to-hit but easy-to-kill TIE Fighters.

      Never got around to playing the later sequels but maybe I should go back to them on GOG?

        The graphical and handling upgrades in X-Wing vs TIE Fighter put it a cut above either X-Wing or TIE Fighter, though the missions end up feeling a bit more linear and focused (one of my favourite things to do in X-Wing was ignore the mission brief and attack the Star Destroyers).

        I have no idea where the series goes after that, though. The next Star Wars starfighter game I played would have been Rogue Squadron, which was a rails shooter. I didn’t for that at all, so I totally disengaged from that aspect of the franchise.

    How can you have just one? How can you compare them?

    Tie Fighter, XvT and X-Wing Alliance are some of the greatest space sims to ever grace a computer.
    Dark Forces brought FPS to Star Wars! Jedi Outcast was a transcendent experience when it came out - the dismemberment! The lightsaber trails!
    KOTOR is an absolutely classic Star Wars story in the same style as the OT, and KOTOR2 is a fantastic deconstruction of classic Star Wars, both with well written and memorable characters.
    OG Battlefront and Battlefront 2 brought us some awesome squad shooter goodness!
    Jedi Outcast and Survivor giving us some awesome modern Star Wars.

    Rogue Squadron, Empire At War, Republic Commando, Episode 1 Racer, even the two MMOs Star Wars Galaxies and SWTOR, all solid games. There’s no way I could pick just one.

    Here we go… My first fediverse comment, and it’s to say that to this day I think “Tie Fighter” is my all-time favorite video game.

    Jedi Knight 2, the multiplayer lightsaber duels were one of the best gaming experiences I ever had.

    Star Wars The Old Republic. Basically KOTOR with mmo elements. You could play it as a single player game if you wanted, with a lot of story content.
    But doing flash points and PvP with my friends was fun too. Buying strongholds and flagships then decorating them was fun as well.

    Original Knights of the Old Republic easily takes the first place for me. Fallen Order and Academy comes 2nd and 3rd.

    Ahh what I wouldn’t give for another Obsidian SW RPG.

    The KOTOR series is the easy answer here for me, just wonderful games. BioWare was truly on top of their game for the first KOTOR and I really appreciated a lot about what KOTOR II was trying to do. One day I’ll do a play through with all the cut content, that’s been on my list for a good bit.

    I’m big on the Souls games and Metroidvania type titles, so the Fallen Order games really hit a wonderful sweet spot for me. Really enjoyed Jedi Survivor recently.

      Good choice!

      For me it’s Battlefront I. Last weekend I realized that I can emulate the PS2 version on Android and play it with my PS4 controller. The memories!

    KOTOR I has got to be my official vote. Honorable mention to the original Rogue Squadron.

    Super Star Wars, Return of the Jedi on Game Boy. Not because it’s a good game, far from it. It’s because I’m old and have memories of trying to play this. With dying batteries and at an awkward angles so I could get light on the screen. I just accidentally found out it had this awesome Super Game Boy border too.
