Rouge Squadron

The reason why I like this game so much is the pure and simple pleasure I got once I got the rank of Supreme Allied Commander. Rouge Squardon was released for the N64 in 1998, but I didn't get my copy of it until fall of 2003. I got it used from a pawn shop. The game play is pretty good and for a flight sim it is not to bad. There are a bunch of stages and you get different ships as you go along so it is a lot of fun. The bonus stages are classic, the Death Star Trench Run, Beggar's Canyon, and the Battle of Hoth.

Here is the story why I like to game so much. When I got to the rank of General I felt pretty good about my game skills, that is fairly high up. While talking to two of my friends though, they laughed and said they both had the rank of Supreme Allied Commander. Well that got me to really busting my butt on the game to get that high rank. Well after like three more weeks of busting my butt I finally got the highest ranking. The first thing I did was go to my friend's apartment. They were both sitting in the living room watching a movie when I sat on the coach and said, "You know what is really cool? Everyone in this apartment is a Supreme Allied Commander." I know it makes me sound like a huge nerd, but I don't care. That was the sweetest taste of victory that I have ever had with a video game.
