Dash Rendar lives!

I spent days on my N64 getting all medals(?). Tried the game again the other day. It’s actually super hard.


Here’s my version:

I played this for a quarter in the arcade when I was a teenager.


My BFF had rebel assault 2.

It’s been 30 years., somehow.


Used to play this a ton on N64 back when I was five or six.

Picked it up to play on Steam Deck expecting a fun and breezy nostalgia romp - adult me got completely wrecked.

I remember getting all the way to the Imperial ship as a kid - as an adult, I barely managed to get past the AT-ST in Echo Base.
