More commonly known under the name 'Star Fox 64' in the rest of world, the game was called 'Lylat Wars' in Europe because of a trademark issue with an older Atari game that was already called 'Star Fox'. Similarly, the Super Nintendo game was called 'Starwing' in Europe. The remake on 3DS however, is called by it's regular name.
Known for the most cheesy one-liners in gaming history, the game is most memorable to me for it's replayability due to it's fun, action packed and varied levels. Of all games in existence, this game is highly likely the one where I have seen the end-credits most times. I could almost dream the entire sequence and in fact, taking out the names of the developers, I'd still can. Music included. I know the levels themselves like the back of my hand as well and when playing the 3DS remake one-and-a-half decades later, it felt like I never stopped.
It was always a good game to play for a short time, because the fastest path would only take about an hour. My better liked levels were along other, often harder, routes however so I would usually strive for going the middle or the upper path or a combination. It was interesting that sometimes I would breeze through the uppermost path, while at other times I would fail heavily, ending at the lowermost path instead getting the 'bad' ending. It's really a game where you have to have your day, to do good.
