For modern-day players who feel like they might have missed the boat, fear not. But that game would never have been without the original Dark Forces, and the original has an addictive charm all its own. There are a lot of people who will righteously argue that DFII Jedi Knight is the best FPS/Action game of all time, and they aren't necessarily wrong. Kyle Katarn was the hero Luke wanted to be before he got to be an even bigger hero. More than just about any other SW game I have played (and believe me, I am a SW NUT who is totally immersed in that 'verse), Dark Forces captured the look, feel, and total motif of Star Wars. The Game designers at LA took DOOM, made an upgraded SW version of it, and took it to a whole new level with both gameplay and storyline. Dark Forces was the first pure FPS set in the SW Universe, and it was a doozy. Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance.Star Wars gaming still doesn't get any better than that and these games are living again on Steam and GOG, reconfigured for modern PC gaming systems.

One of Lucasart's best games during the 90's, when they did their best work. This game rated a solid 10/10 in its heyday, and is still a 7/10 by today's standards.
