Anyone who has read my posts here knows that I am a Star Wars games fan. I think most of us can say the same, that’s why you’re here reading this. What you might not know is that I am also a big fan of the 16-bit generation. I was born in the 80s and I grew up in the heyday of the Super Nintendo and SEGA Genesis generations. 37624h

StarWars.com has written a post featuring the best games that made their list. You can read the full post to see why they chose each one.

Star Wars: X-Wing

As a girl, I dreamed of being a pilot. Flight last year and fans near and far rejoiced.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter

And were it not for gameplay wasn’t a lot different from X-Wing but they took a good thing and made it better, while also polishing up the visuals.

Super Star Wars

My first console was a Nintendo Entertainment System and for many of us kids who grew up in the 90s, the Super Nintendo Star Wars is one such game. This game took us through the plot of the movie, A New Hope, but took some liberties on the story for the sake of entertainment and playability. It was a great game.

Star Wars: Dark Forces

This one was a Doom-inspired first-person shooter that had me hooked from the start. I have been playing FPS games since Doom and without Dark Forces,  we wouldn’t be looking at games like Star Wars theme that really lured us in. I loved this one!

Lisa has been an avid gamer since she was old enough to hold her first controller and a game writer for more than a decade. A child of the Nintendo generation, she believes they just don’t make games like they used to but sometimes, they make them even better! While consoles will always be her first love, Lisa spends most of her gaming time on the PC these days- on MMOs and first-person shooters in particular.
