"All time" hasn't finished yet, but that hasn't stopped the Australian PCAuthority website from listing the 10 best Star Wars games ...


Get fired up for The Last Jedi by revisiting these gems.
--------------------------------------------------------
Dozens upon dozens of�Star Wars�games have been released since
the early '80s, and the flood has never really subsided over
the years. Pretty much every year has seen another game or two
appear to reignite our love of lightsabers.

That's not always a great thing. Licensed games have a
reputation for being rubbish more often than not, and�Star Wars�
is as guilty as any other franchise for putting out tosh here
and there:�Kinect Star Wars, anyone? How about�Masters of Teras
Kasi? It happens. In fact, it's happened quite a bit.

Thankfully, there's a flipside to that: the games that remind
us why we love�Star Wars�so much. The games that let us feel as
though we're a part of that vast, wonderful universe. And the
games that fill us with the same kind of childhood wonder as
the classic films themselves. There's a fair number of them,
but we've argued about them all to come up with a list of the
10 very best.

With�Star Wars�fever renewed agan for�The Last Jedi, now's the
perfect time to loop back on some of these. Enjoy!

this list lacks:

X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (Balance of Power expansion)

X-Wing Alliance

Rebellion

Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy

and

The Gungan Frontier

Nope, "Pit Droids" is the best ... I even managed to finish that one. :-)
