Glup Shitto’s favorite games 🌌

“Video games have come a long way since Pac-Man!” —Glup Shitto

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

Why it matters

With Shadows of the Empire, Lucasfilm attempted to rev the Star Wars engine without releasing an actual film. We got a book, toys, comics, a soundtrack, and of course, a video game. Is Dash Rendar a Han Solo wannabe? Maybe. But he has one hell of an adventure.

Star Wars: Pit Droids

Why it matters

A memorable puzzler disguised as an “educational” “logic skills building” game, Star Wars: Pit Droids exceeded the tie-in game mandate. I’m not sure if the gameplay holds up, but I know the soundtrack, timed to sync up with the rhythmic loop of the pathing puzzles, does.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005)

Why it matters

One of my fondest childhood memories is staying up late with my brother playing Star Wars: Battlefront 2. I loved the big picture strategy within the shooter genre, and I still vividly remember the annunciation of “GaLACtic CONquest” every time we’d select that extremely fun Risk-like mode.

Star Wars: Dark Forces

Why it matters

LucasArts’ first-person shooter was ahead of its time in 1996, and a recent remaster from Nightdive enhances the package for modern players, from the labyrinthine Imperial bases to the run-or-die shootouts with Stormtroopers. If you’ve heard of “Kyle Katarn,” this is where it starts.
