Aside from finding a couple save files on this cartridge, and a little damage to the sticker in the front, I'm pleased. Of course, this is a 2nd hand cartridge so, these things are to be greatly expected. As long as the cartridge is not haunted. I'm okay.Five Stars with my impression. And Five stars to the seller. They did very well.

Pretty Good
I had been wanting this game for a while and decided to give it a whirl during the 2020 lockdown. The game is really good and makes me want to try out some more Star Wars games.

A Great Game for a Great System, the Nintendo 64
This is a great game, with surprisingly good graphics for an old system like the Nintendo 64. I like "shoot-em-up" games, and this is definitely one of the good ones. I'm an old man, and newer systems my family has, like the XBox and PS-3, are much too fast for me. Also, I really like the game cartridge system of the Nintendo 64. Unlike the XBox and PS-3, there isn't a disc that can get scratched or a reader that gets dirty and stops reading discs, which I've seen happen on the XBox. If the Nintendo's game cartridge stops working, which isn't often, just spray electronics cleaner on the contacts and it works again. The Nintendo 64 is a system I've had for a lot of years, and it still works great.

Welcome Back to Rogue Squadron
I bought this a long time for my brother and we spent many hours playing this when we were kids. I bought my own copy recently and spent a couple hours playing this again. I'm really surprised at how well this game holds up over time. The graphics of modern games are far superior but this game still looks decent (and noticeably better with the N64 expansion pack). The sound is surprisingly good as well. If you are a Star Wars fan and you have a Nintendo 64, you should own this game.

Very good game for the classic N64.
My very first Squadron game to own & man, it's quite a blast. Some levels are easy & some are hard so you'll need patience to get through this.

very good
Seems like a great game (I read a couple of reviews before buying). I also bought an expansion pack to play this, but is not necessarily needed (it just improves graphics). Cartridge is perfectly working and it came with original case in discreet condition and also original manual, this one in poor condition. I'm happy about the fact it came with orginal internal holding case for the cartridge and original box in decent condition, plus manual. Satisfied

Nostalgia overload.
Ace game! Plays EXACTLY like it's two GameCube sequels, and just as fun. Worth a go if you're on the old N64!

Smooth transaction and product arrived in perfect condition.
Remember the first level of Shadows of the Empire? Remember thinking \"Gee, if only the rest of the game were like this, this game would actually be good\"? LucasArts heard you and developed an entire game based around the concept. Of course, spending an entire game in the snowspeeder, fighting AT-ATs, is something better left to that old Atari 2600 game, so some more modes of transport have been tossed in to spruce things up.
You play as Luke Skywalker (finally, no Dash Rendars or Kyle Katarns in sight) who leads the Rogue Squadron against the Empire. The game has a very movie-like quality to it, mostly thanks to a lot of voice work and in-game cinemas. The game plays like an action-packed Wing Commander game sans all of the crazy controls. Auto-leveling keeps you from crashing and allows you to get a firm grasp on the control quickly and easily. Once you've gotten the hang of flying the craft, you can disable it. Each of the ships has varying armor and weapon strengths. In addition, the ships maneuver differently, making one type more suited for some missions than others. The missions are composed of rescue missions, defense, escorting ships, and striking targets. Some missions require pinpoint accuracy when shooting, while some require that you simply lay waste to everything that you encounter. This mix of levels really keeps the pace of the game fresh and exciting. In each level you can earn one of three medals. Your performance throughout the level decides which, if any, of the three medals you'll receive. If you collect all three medals on every level in the game you will be handsomely rewarded.
The visuals get a great boost from Nintendo's new RAM upgrade accessory. When using the RAM pack, the game plays in a much higher resolution. The textures of the landscapes, the ships, the lighting effects - everything looks so much better. Without the upgrade, the game looks OK but not nearly as nice. Whether you're playing with the upgrade or not, the game does unfortunately suffer from one major visual flaw: The pop-up is horrendous. Every object in the game is drawn in at an incredibly short distance from your view. This at first seems like a really bad thing, but after spending any amount of time with the game you nearly forget all about it since most of the time you are generally focused on what's right in front of you and your radar.
Rogue Squadron has a ton of speech for an N64 game. Each mission has a briefing to listen to before you go into battle. Then during the action there are voice commands indicating what you have to do next. Plus there's a lot of chatter from the rest of your squadron. All of the voices sound fairly decent and really draw you into the game. Once there, the incredible sound effects, like the scream of TIE fighters zooming past you with their guns blazing, really sound terrific. The game also makes good use of stereo effects. The only thing in the audio department that Rogue Squadron lacks is quality music. Sure, its Star Wars stuff, but the actual quality of it doesn't sound very good.
