LucasArts Releases Phantom Menace and Episode I Racer Demos

LucasArts has released PC demos for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and Episode I Racer. Both games require a 3D accelerator card.

LucasArts has released playable demos for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode I Racer, the first games based on the film. The Phantom Menace demo is the complete first level of the finished game, which follows the movie’s story of a galaxy in crisis and puts you in the roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala, and Captain Panaka.

One thing to check before you start downloading: both games are 3D-only, so no 3D accelerator card, no game. If your PC is still living without one, these demos just became the newest reason to fix that.
