The Price Is Retro - 13:55
If this is your first time playing Price Is Retro, here's how we play. I'm going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list. At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the robot Deus Guess Machina! He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess
Dinosaur - Leonard - adds up original costs, retail value
Ghost - Polterguest - always guesses 300

I had a star wars plug and play console. I don't really remember much about it, but I believe it looked like Darth Vader...

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga was one of my favorite games growing up. I have so many good memories playing through that game, and the humor in it is peak

The first Star Wars game I ever played was Rebel Assault on CD-ROM in the early '90s. It was a mind-blowing experience at the time, with 3D rendered graphics, actual music from the films, and full motion video. The controls were extremely frustrating, but that didn't stop my friends and I from playing it over and over. The next big Star Wars game that blew my mind was Shadows of the Empire for N64. The game had impressively large levels for the time, and I liked the variety in having both vehicle combat, on-foot 3rd person shooting, and some challenging boss fights. Again, the controls could be frustrating, particularly the floaty jumping physics, but Dan and I played the crap out of this one. Last game I'll shout out is Jedi Outcast. I feel like this was the first game that really made the player feel like a badass Jedi with really powerful Force and lightsaber abilities. I actually ended up playing this one on the GameCube, which probably isn't the ideal way to experience it, but I really enjoyed it.

I remember being pretty hyped for Star Wars Episode I Racer for N64 and enjoyed a rental of it. The Podracing scenes may be my favorite of the entire prequel trilogy and had excellent sound design and early CG.
