Star Wars: Rogue Squadron game

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron on N64 is one of those games that just feels like Star Wars from the second you boot it up. The hum of the X-Wing engines, the blaster fire, even the way TIE fighters explode in that satisfying fireball—it nails the vibe.

You start off with basic patrol missions, but things escalate fast. One minute you're escorting a convoy, the next you're dodging turbolaser fire while taking down a Star Destroyer's shield generators. The controls take a second to click (that N64 stick wasn't made for precision flying), but once they do, weaving through canyons on Tatooine or skimming cloud tops on Bespin is stupidly fun.

Pro tip: Unlock the Naboo Starfighter as soon as you can. That thing turns like a dream compared to the clunkier Y-Wings. Just don't expect the graphics to hold up—this is pure late-90s low-poly charm, complete with foggy draw distances.
