When I was about 10 years old, there was one Nintendo 64 game I played so much that my memories of it are still vivid to this day, almost three decades later. That game was none other than Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, an N64 title that looks like the bottom of the barrel today but back then was absolute cinema. What I, and likely many others, remember the most is how it threw us right into the middle of the Battle of Hoth, where we piloted a snowspeeder across the snow while AT-AT walkers marched toward Echo Base. Then, it all felt unbelievable, because for the first time, Star Wars wasn't just something we watched on VHS tapes but something we could actually step inside and play.
