Now This is Podracing! My N64 Childhood Favorite Hits the Tabletop

Published 2023-05-27
Welcome back to Snoddies Hobbies! In today's video, we're journeying to a galaxy far, far away, and revisiting a classic from my childhood: the N64 game, Star Wars Episode One Racer.

As a kid, I was captivated by the high-speed thrills and intergalactic excitement of this iconic game. But recently, I decided to take on the ambitious project of recreating this digital gem as a tabletop game. Little did I know, this mission would become an epic quest that tested my sanity and my enduring love for Star Wars.

The process was filled with countless hours of painstaking design, a slew of unexpected challenges, and so many moments of uncertainty that I almost quit. This quest, however, is a testament to the spirit of resilience, innovation, and the magic that is the Star Wars universe.

What's more impressive? The majority of the terrain for this project was made with re-purposed trash, combined with some intricate 3D printing from Dark Fire Designs. It's amazing what can be achieved when you blend creativity, resourcefulness, and technology!

This journey wouldn't have been possible without your constant support and encouragement. A big shout out to my Patreon supporters for their unwavering belief in my work.

Heartfelt thanks to N64 Archive for capturing gameplay from Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron. And of course, a nod to World of Longplays for providing gameplay footage from Episode One Racer.
