Oh, right. Forgot about those two.

Bring them on, GOG!

Of course not, it also never had a PS4 version ... until they made one. It probably just runs in an emulator, but that would do the trick on GOG for me as well.

Well, I had the impression that they used better models, but I could be wrong of course.

Racer ... they definitly didn't use the PC version for this but the PS2-version.
Does the PC version of Racer have dual analog controls where you can control both engines separatly and steer this way?

Yes, I meant in the sense that I shouldn't expect GOG to bring console ports. But existing PC releases makes sense to demand.

There's no PS2 version. You're probably confusing with Racer Revenge, which was a PS2 exclusive.

We got several console ports running in emulators already.
It's easier to get those to run than early 2000s PC games. Back then 3D programming was a complete mess (It took several patches until SW1 Racer was running on modern graphic cards, after round 1 the screen in the original version would turn white and remain white).

Most games in this thread don't have a native PC version, run in an emulator.

What really brought this forward was the Evercade console (classic Evercade, Evercade VS and now Evercade EXP). They focus on licencing old games and selling them in collections, also have some new homebrew games, but it's mostly arcade oldies (and now a very cool remake of the Duke Nukem games). Some of the game collections made it to GOG shortly afterwards. All of our Retro Classix games are also available on Evercade. Ziggurat licenced and publishd DataEast titles, SNK and Piko Interactive are also names worth looking out for.
If old Super Nintendo games make it to the PS4, then I see hope for GOG too. It's only a question of who is willing to pay for the licences.

AI pathfinding was terrible in all games of this era (see Goldeneye) so I dont really hold that against them although it is annoying. It was very explorable in terms of what you can do and was basically "filling in" the scenes in between Lucas transitions for episode 1 which was cool lol. Like an extended version of the movie.

I just found some of the difficulty to be off in certain areas and lightsaber combat to not be great to be the big drawbacks of the game, hence why mid although to be fair, lightsaber combat is still debatable even today (Jedi outcast made it OP one hit kills while Fallen Order/Survivor has the deflection right but treats them as maces rather than one hit kills).

Also forgot to add but the podracing game on N64 was awesome although I guess that didnt really become a series (they made a 2 on PS2). Podracing was cool and its honestly money on the table Star Wars doesnt explore it more.

Definitely, I completely agree.

Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy have to this day the best lightsaber combat ever made, but one thing this game did well was lightsaber vs laser fire. You could excel at deflecting laser bolts back at the enemies, something that in virtually all other Star Wars games is somewhat automated.

To be fair, it is kind of hard to make a good game with a lightsaber. Lightsabers are quite OP and likely influenced by katana from Kurosawa movies that Lucas was a fan of (the samurai basically mowing through foes by killing them with a single strike each). Visually appealing on film but not really fun in a video game.

I do think Jedi Fallen Order got the right idea from using the Sekiro parry system but should have made it something like the attack only glances off the enemy:s armor or something for bosses. Also doesnt really work for the regular mobs unless you parry/insta kill them which is likely the intended way the dev wanted us to play the game.

I disagree. I also have that game on CD-ROM and I played it when it originally released. It was a pretty good game.

It got unfairly trashed in "professional" reviews, seemingly solely because the mainstream PC game review industry consists entirely of shills, and they collectively decided to bash that game unfairly in their reviews order to give themselves a false sense of being legitimate reviewers. which they have to do once in a while, with certain scapegoat games, like this Star War Episode 1 game (not Podracer) was, so that consumers will have confidence in all of their shilling reviews, which they publish the other 95% of the time.

I disagree. Jedi Outcast has asinine, ludicrous light saber combat, which isn't even light saber combat 95% of the time.

Instead, it mostly just consists of the characters throwing their light sabers at each other like boomerangs. It's mostly a pseudo-boomerang/frisbee game, much more so than it is any kind of laser sword fencing game, and the latter of which is what a good light saber game (which Jedi Outcast definitely isn't) would be.

I played it when it was released. It was awful :D
Obi Wan was worse, but this one was pretty bad as well.

I finished it but never looked at it again. Luckily six years later we were blessed with the Lego Star Wars game.

I don't understand. You recognize that Jedi Academy has great lightsaber combat, but that was just an improvement on what was established in Outcast. It didn't go from bad to great. It went from very good to great.

I played this game years ago, I think more or less at the time the original movie came out, or not long after.
I seem to remember a platforming sequence where you had to follow Jar Jar Binks. But then I got stuck at a puzzle.
Maybe it wasn't that great, but I recall having fun with it. Even though I'm not a Star Wars guy, I would most likely buy it if it came to GOG (and try to finish it this time). Hey I played that one, too.

... I felt that.

Mario Party is also 25 years old.

Maybe, but that means absolutely nothing to me. I have never played anything Mario (or anything else Nintendo).
