From those starfighter arcade games to the iconic Battlefront franchise, the galaxy far, far away community has been reminiscing about the good old days of Star Wars gaming by picking their favorite title of all time. 

As you can see below, there are a lot of contenders. BioWare’s Knights of the Old Republic, LucasArts’ Battlefront and Battlefront II, Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Republic Commando, and those old LEGO games that entertained many of us for dozens of hours. 

These are some of the most well-known games, but when it comes to Star Wars and video games, there are literally more than a hundred you could choose from, so the fandom is adding up to this list with favorite nostalgic pieces of their own.

A favorite choice seems to be the old Shadow of the Empire for N64.

Some Star Wars fans are even more ancient, or so they say.
