just read on IGN that if you preorder Rebel Strike you get a bonus disc with the Hoth level, a level from "Gladiator" and the entire 1982 Star Wars Arcade game. sounds nice

I just saw a commercial for Rebel Strike...wow that's early!

The entire 1982 arcade game!!! OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!
that game was amazing in the arcade! it's my friend's favorite arcade game of alltime,
we got to play it at a (classic arcade games only) arcade like 5 years ago, he was glued to it hehe.

I bet my friend will buy a gamecube based on this alone lol
p.s. great find man

Though not as good as the WW preorder deal, this is something I am going to have to do.

Just this? Nintendo is holding out on us.... They could give us a MK Double Dash Demo and a 1080 Demo there too..

AlienJF · « **Reply #4 on:** August 01, 2003, 04:17:23 PM »

Nintendo isnt holding out on us. It's a Lucasarts disc, not a nintendo disc.

I think the bonus is great, but why a Rouge Leader demo? The game is over a year old! Maybe its for the new co-op

Its nice to see Nintendo giving out free bonusses for preordering games. Now just give me Majoras' Mask with the next zelda and Super Mario 64 with mario 128 and I will be set.

joeamis · « **Reply #6 on:** August 01, 2003, 04:37:55 PM »

incidentally i had that same idea DRJ and i voiced it months ago on this forum
only to have people tell me it's stupid and they wouldn't be interested...

Berto2K · « **Reply #7 on:** August 01, 2003, 06:51:59 PM »

Man, I sent this news bit into PGC like 4 or 5 hours ago at least, and they still not put it on the main page. IGN has since updated with news that it will come one month before the game is released. Once I saw this disc offer, I preordered right away.

I'll preorder it when I go pick up SCII and F-Zero- that's about a month before Rebel Strike comes out. Initially I thought you'd get the disc when you got the game, which made me wonder why they'd give you a demo of a game you just picked up- very odd.

I have a feeling you will be set.

I WANT THE 1982 STAR WARS ARCADE GAME! ON MY GAMECUBE! But I don't want Rebel Strike

Bostwick2967 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:03:41 AM »

C'mon people, like we need another reason to pre-order Rebel Strike. I really hope you can shoot the Ewoks

PIAC · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:27:17 AM »

OI! EWOKS ARE GODS!
PH33R THE FUZZY LITTLE BUGGERS!

you cant shoot ewoks, but i dont care. i just want to weild a lightsaber as luke. in all honesty, i think this pre order deal is much better than the one for zelda.

Something tells me this was Factor5's idea (obviously approved by LucasArts). Which begs a question I have, did LucasArts own the license to Star Wars games even as far back as '82?

Gup · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2003, 02:13:49 PM »

It would have been nice to get the N64 Rogue Squadron. Imagine getting the whole RS series in one package, but I guess LucasArts wants to promote Gladius which I guess is pretty smart.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:19:28 PM »

LucasArts has been around a lot longer than a lot of people think. Ever since the creation of videogames, LucasArts has been around almost as long to bring us our Star Wars entertainment

(Just wanted to throw in something: Who could forget LucasArts' Maniac Mansion?)

"Something tells me this was Factor5's idea (obviously approved by LucasArts). Which begs a question I have, did LucasArts own the license to Star Wars games even as far back as '82? "

Even if LucasArts wasn't around back then, George Lucas would still have owned the rights and since pass them on to LucasArts. Funny thing is, before Star Wars was released Lucas asked 20th Centruy Fox for full control over licensing. Since Fox didn't think Star Wars would be a hit anyway, and that licensing wasn't very big back then, they give him the rights to licensing for free. Fox is stupid.

He actually reduced his fee for more licensing rights. He knew he had something, I suppose.

joeamis · « **Reply #19 on:** August 02, 2003, 04:40:34 PM »

it's sad that maniac mansion was lucasarts best game until this generation of consoles started.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #20 on:** August 02, 2003, 05:07:18 PM »

Hey, wait a second. I love the Escape from Monkey Island series.

Though besides that there really was nothing special from them, imo.

PIAC · « **Reply #21 on:** August 02, 2003, 05:27:39 PM »

yes there has been

the X-Wing series is good, the super star wars snes games are awsome (i rekon anyway) and a few others i forget, but dont forget Monkey Island > *

Guybrush is GOD!

The gamble paid off- I bet he makes most of his money on licensing.

DRJ · « **Reply #23 on:** August 02, 2003, 06:18:39 PM »

Hasbro has paid Lucas $470 Million so far for licensing rights to make toys for Star Wars.

LucasArts PC adventure games were always tops. None of that "let's try to kill the player" (a couple rare exceptions) or "let's make it impossible to continue" :
