1998 video game
Star Wars Rebellion (known as Star Wars Supremacy in the United Kingdom and Ireland) is a
real-time strategy
4X game released in 1998 by
LucasArts and set in the fictional
Star Wars expanded universe .
The game received poor reviews according to the
review aggregation website
GameRankings .
[2]
Next Generation stated, "LucasArts should start looking more closely at what it slaps the Star Wars brand on, as consumers will be less likely to forget or forgive."
[10]
According to
PC Data , the game was the U.S.' 18th-best-selling computer game during the January–November 1998 period.
[13]
The game won the award for "Most Disappointing Game of the Year" at
GameSpot ' s Best & Worst of 1998 Awards.
[14] It was also nominated for "The Underachiever Award" at
IGN ' s Best of 1998 Awards, which ultimately went to
Trespasser .
[15]
Rebellion has been more positively remembered in retrospect, with
PC Gamer noting it is a "pretty effective Star Wars story generator" with compelling grand strategy elements.
[16]
Game Rant also notes the game as for its rich Star Wars digital encyclopedia, unique for its time.
[17]
Macworld saw LucasArts' 2006 game
Star Wars: Empire at War as a successor to Rebellion .
[18]
Ars Technica notes that the
Fantasy Flight's
Star Wars: Rebellion board game is loosely based on the computer game.
