Star Wars: Yoda Stories (PC Games, 1996)

This is a fun game if your looking for a simple version of a Star Wars adventure game. I used to have a Demo of this game years ago, and I wanted to play it once again. I was able to find it here on eBay for a great price and it still bring back fond memories.

I've always disliked how small the window of gameplay is. But I've loved this game since I first played it several years ago. Lost my copy awhile back and had to buy another copy. I've been playing it quite a bit again. And incredibly, I'm still hooked on the game! It's simple, but entertaining.

Back when I was growing up, I had a tendency to download random games from various websites, and had somehow come across the demo for this game. I very much enjoyed it back then and decided to look it up on eBay. I saw it, I bought it, and I randomly play it now.

If you are looking for a game with good graphics, an indepth story, and great gameplay, look somewhere else.

Why rate it good then? Because it fit right in to the demographic in which it was aptly named to be in: Desktop Adventures.

Star Wars: Yoda Stories was part of a group of games under the name "Desktop Adventures". To me, that name means that the game is a small one, that is fun just to randomly play. It's better to think of it as a nowadays desktop widget more than a game.

The game is basically a puzzle game, with you starring as Luke Skywalker, who is sent out on various missions by Yoda. The program constructs random worlds with missions everytime you start new, but you can save your old worlds to continue playing till you finish. There is some fighting, but it's nothing to look forward to.

Some of the worlds you can visit include Hoth, Tatooine, and Dagoba (to name most of them). Every new game changes the map around so each square isn't the same (think squares as in Gameboy Zelda games), but the areas inside of the square may repeat themselves between worlds.

To sum it all up, don't expect anything glamorous from this game. But it is a nice little game if you find it for the right price.
