I know I’m seeing the past through rose colored glasses and now I feel like I have to go back to and play it again but damit, Star Fox is AWESOME! Star Fox N64 is not even close in comparison. I finished both 100%. I don’t even remember Star Fox N64 but I fully remember the original.
I played all paths in order. 1, then 2 then 3. I recorded me clearing level 3 on VHS though I no longer have it :(. The amazing long ending. The amazing last level. The awesome music. One of my favorite video game experiences of all time.
I don’t know if I can go back. I would probably have to play it on a real SNES because most emulators play too smooth. My skills are not nearly as good as they were back then nor my patience but whatever, I know I loved it like crazy!
Also it wasn’t just about clearing the levels. You had to get perfect. You had to know which things needed to be destroyed to get the power ups and earn extra ships because the end WAS HARD! So no those space levels didn’t bug me at all.
