well, i noticed a distinct lack of lylat chatter on this board.
this thread my die, but at least i'll have a place to talk about this awesome series.

i've always considered star fox 64 to be my favorite game, it never gets old.
the ability to play it different every time is such fun!
i love the independence day reference in the reunion level.
"the core has appeared!"

"so andross, you show your true form!"
"only I have the brains to rule the lylat system!"

anyone else have fond memories of the snes, nintendo 64, gamecube, ds star fox games?

I've only ever played Lylat Wars 64 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I never knew what requirements were needed to alter your path through the single player campaign as I tended to always play the same levels and never got a chance to see the others.

I can enver remember all the crew though, there was a Frog, a Fox, a Falcon and what was that last one...a Donkey?

I Loved Starfox 64 one of my most favorite games to this day. a shame I dont have my old 64 anymore though

I've played 64, Adventures, Assault, and Command.

64 was awesome, Adventures and Assault are my favorites, and Command is meh.

As for Adventures and Assault, I liked Assault better, gameplay wise, but Adventures, everything else wise.

I enjoy the games though I only have the console games so far, there should be an Arwing-esque Transformer, Legends ROTF Megatron is a Landmaster basically, so it's possible...

I thought the first Starfox was incredible, and still stands as one of my favorites. Starfox 64 was better in most ways, but for some reason Nintendo dropped the great music from the first, and I was annoyed by the escort mission. Too bad that beyond Starfox 64 there really isn't much to write home about for this seris.

So, before Starfox 64 came out, I imported the japanese one. With a simple adapter it worked just fine, but of course all the voices were in Japanese. So, when the English one was finally released, I rented it, and actually switched the chips so the Japanese one was in the English plastic casing. They both worked, but of course I returned the Japanese one back to Blockbuster. I know, it was a stupid thing to do, but I was a broke teen and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I expected talk about barrel rolls to appear right from the get-go.

I am disappoint.

It was a fine series until Rare touched it and brought in the furry legion. That's all I have to say on the matter.

Fandom, given long enough, it will boil down to "I don't like the new ones!" vs. "I don't like these parts of the entire thing!"

One of the first N64 games I bought on the Wii. Now I need to hunt down that old GC game. I loved Star Fox since the Super Nintendo one (when I thought that if I beat it, Centari would come to earth and take me to fight along Starfox, just because the game looked like the Last Starfighter). I personally even loved the Starfox adventure game for the Cube. Long live Mcloud.... Death to Slippy...."WHOA, HELP MEEEEE!"
