on a surface level this game may not seem that special: Standard Star Wars tie-in game. But it manages to greatly expand on sequences from the movie, manages to feel very lived in, and gives a surprising amount of freedom considering it isn't open ended like an RPG. The Tatooine levels alone feel HUGE.
This game, along with Episode 1 - Racer, were my childhood. Spent so many hours wandering Tatooine. My first exposure to an open-world game (rudimental thought it might seem now but not at the time) and I've been hooked on that genre ever since. They've re-released the Playstation version of Phantom Menace but it doesn't hold up nearly as well as the PC version.
I played this game so much back in the day, and I still play it every once and a while 26 years later. There are so many funny small interactions and comments from the NPCs. Years before the Stranger Missions from Red Dead Redemption, The Phantom Menace would have you roaming the streets of Mos Espa looking for JarJar, and you'd happen upon a mother who's son was being kept captive, or a resident who'd been kicked out of his home by a local gang. The choice to help or not was always yours. In addition, when talking to certain characters, you're given a list of things you can say to them, in the style of an adventure game or a TellTale game. All this made the worlds feel alive and made you feel like you truly had a choice in the way the story unfolded and how you wanted to portray Ob-Wan or Qui-Gon as behaving. It's a wonderful expansion to the film, and it deserves to be preserved forever on GOG.
One of the earliest memories of playing a PC game that I have. Me and my cousin are huge Star Wars nerds and spent so much time trying to get through this game - which as 5-6 year olds was really tough! I can't remember ever beating it, only getting to the final boss. Getting to replay this on the PC with a proper port, rather than relying on emulation or workarounds would be a dream come true!
My first game on PC (old XP) and I really like to have this game! Unhappily to play today I need many fixes and hackes to play well (only on Linux I can play good enough)
Am a longtime fan of the prequels and have a lot of wonderful memories in playing this game. It was simple but was remarkably enjoyable given that alot of video game tie ins from films often arent made well. Please bring this game back GOG!
I absolutely love the game, growing up I owned it on PS1. I could not. Honestly, get past the part where you had to escort the queen on Naboo. To the shuttle to escape Naboo and it's just frustrated me so hard.
This game was THE SW game in my childhood, despite watching my dad play Dark Forces II, this and Racer were the defining part, after which I was judging other SW games I played - did they bring the same feeling of immersion and awesomeness playing a Jedi did. Because of this I played KOTORs pretty late after it's release, as I was put off by the combat being a series of orders rather then my direct inputs. This is why also SW:TOR didn't keep me for long, when I cut something with a lightsaber, it should perish fairly quickly, not withstand 20 swings across the torso and PM along with JOII and Academy achieved that perfectly. This game is special to me, as it's sort of a grandfather of this particular style of gameplay combined with the (sorta) open world exploring.
I love this title, I play it as a child and it has a PC version, that is very old, I think it deserves a little love for this game.
I was playing it in my father's store, he was working and I was playing this game, in a old computer 🖥. I love this game :) ❤️

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
