Clone Wars: Planetary Forces

The Clone Wars Planetary Forces game coincided with the Clone Wars 2003 microseries. This was not a Toonami exclusive, but it did air at various points on Toonami. Failing that, at least it aired on a Toonami block somewhere on the planet Earth.

Fight on either the Light Side or Dark Side. The missions are essentially the same, except with a simple character swap. The one except is the Mon Calamari mission in which the end boss is radically different.

The hardest level is the Kit Fisto Mon Calamari mission. That's only because the boss is fairly random, unless it falls into a jumping pattern. Then it can be destroyed with ease.

Now, if only Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire trilogy were made into a cartoon, the world would be perfect...

IGPX: Fight to the Finish

The second web game that coincided with the IGPX series, FttF is based on racing and fighting.

There's not much I can say about this game because I can't even really beat the first level. I don't know if I even have all the game files, so it might be broken. (The game pre-loads files, so hopefully I obtained absolutely all of them.)

I much prefer the original tactics game for the IGPX microseries, even though I can't beat that one either. Racing has never quite been my genre of choice.

If someone out there can beat it and confirm the game fully works, drop a line in the comments.

That Was Good Timing

Not two weeks after those backups, the Toonami.co.uk website is history.

(I'm not too concerned about not backing up Justice League, Batman, and Samurai Jack games as those tend to get picked up by the Internet Archive or are duplicated on various websites.)

And before anyone asks, a lot of those other games (such as the Lego Mars Mission) were broken by the time I got there. It turns out the Mission to Mars game is on Lego's website anyway.

Guess I'll prepare to add the UK games and Planetary Forces to Lost Data.
