It all felt like a big deal, and the game was a part of that. You couldn’t even go to a Pizza Hut without seeing giant Jar Jar Binks cardboard cutout. Audiences were starved for new Star Wars movies, and the launch of The Phantom Menace was a cultural event.
Part of that is just because of the incredible state of Episode I fever that was everywhere. I played it on PC back in the day, and the experience has still stayed with me.
A PlayStation version followed on August 31. The Phantom Menace game came out for PC on the same day as the film, May 19, 1999. This is something we used to see a lot more of in the 1990s, with every major blockbuster having a video-game tie-in that retells the events of the movie. It’s a direct video game interpretation of the film. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the game, is just that. In fact, I am talking about the game based off of that 1999 film. And, sure, I am too! But I can’t help but feel a bit bad for another game based on The Phantom Menace.
