Literally everything for sale in any 1999 shop had The Phantom Menace on it; toys, lunchboxes, bed sheets, toilet brushes, lawn mowers, yachts - you name it....
It’s a game that really isn’t that good, that’s carried by a swarm of late 90s good vibes and the promise of 3 amazing Star Wars films. There’s a charm to its jank and it really captured the spirit of the excitement for the prequel trilogy.
I could never go back and play it again, but I will say the mos eisley section was oddly ambitious, and a weird blend of mechanics that did, at least to young me, make me feel very immersed.
