But even more impressive was that they were done by a professional comedian (until then, most video game voice work was done either in-house or by local talent). When Gex was released in early 1995, its sheer volume of voice samples was impressive.Today, it's hard to look at the footage from II (especially compared to the aforementioned Jedi Knight, which has actual actors and actually feels like a legitimate entry into the canon, rather than just a Gaiden Game) and not laugh at the stilted dialogue, cheap props and bad effects, even though it was the Killer App for the company.

It was a huge deal at the time, bringing Lucasarts a giant surge of popularity (to the point that it had several compilation packages based around its inclusion) and along with The 7th Guest was one of the primary reasons CD-ROM games took off. Rebel Assault II was released two years before Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and was the first piece of Star Wars media to use live-action footage since Return of the Jedi 12 years prior.That said, the Super Nintendo, without the help of any specialized mapper chips or software tricks, was limited to scaling and rotating on the seventh layer via the aptly titled Mode 7, and that involved basically using an entire layer for a single sprite, somewhat demystifying the effect in comparison to more powerful tech.

Of course, such feats are a standard in many sprite-based games today and aren't that mind-blowing, but the SNES using such features was a huge leap from the NES where sprites on the NES platform couldn't rotate or change size. The Super Nintendo allowed sprites to be rotated in any direction and scale them up or down without having to redraw the sprite.
