Star Wars Episode 1 - Pod Racer (PC)

Star Wars - Episode One Racer (to give it the full title) was released back around the same time as the film hit the big screens. Back then I still had a Playstation and alas, it was never released on Sony's grey box. It was one of those games that looked great, just seeing it made you want to play it. But back in those days I didn't have a nice new shiny PC (although it's getting less and less shiny) and I had to wait until now to give it a go.

Its ok if you are about 6 because it is quite a challange and if you are a parent willing to buy a game for a child then you should buy this for them. ...
