Looks like the first game I'm going to finish in 2026 - not that I usually keep track - is going to be Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered. I've never played this deep into the Dark Forces and with just one level left out of 14, I might as well finish it off.

A very "I love you" to every game that supports 32:9 aspect ratio. Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered isn't the prettiest game and this isn't a great example of the few places it is, but it's still nice.

Jedi Knight Dark Forces II – cinematic action and creepy aliens

What I'm writing about actually happened to me. It was like a dream. Like a horror movie. Like an action movie. Like Star Wars. I was on a space station. And the atmosphere there, I tell you, was pretty bad.

Have an all-purpose GIF of Darth Vader rocking out to some sick beats.

Made from screenshots of LucasArts' Dark Forces (with some judicious horizontal flipping in places).

A sprite of Kyle Katarn's gear from LucasArts' Star Wars: Dark Forces level 10, "Jabba's Ship".

There's an armor vest, Kyle's Bryar pistol, a radio on one shoulder... and a strange object shaped like a French Ô with circumflex.

Perhaps Kyle's equipment includes condoms - AKA "French letters", as an English-language euphemism puts it?

A radio with antenna is on the left shoulder of the armor vest. The right shoulder has a strange golden object that looks like a French Ô (that is, an O with a circumflex above it).

Another sick open source reimplentation for a retro game! It seems to be a fork of XL Engine, which was discontinued in 2023. XL Engine was an open source modern engine for Star Wars: Dark Forces that offered modern resolutions, engine improvements, better mod support, etc.

Looks like I might just have to re-run through Dark Forces this May the 4th. :odysee_thinking:

Star Wars: Dark Forces was (probably*) released 30 years ago on 28th February 1995.

(There are four different release dates in circulation on the internet, but 28th February seems the most probable.)

Seguimos desempolvando las cajas de recuerdos de casa familiar. Hoy toca #DarkForces:

Star Wars: Dark Forces fue el primer FPS basado en el universo de Star Wars y uno de los primeros videojuegos en comercializarse en formato CD-ROM por las secuencias de video que incorporaba, que ocupaban un considerable tamaño para la época.

Debe ser de 1996 o algo más cuando estuve yo jugando.

Aquí un video de alguien dándole un repaso al juego via emulación:
peertube.fr/w/28ae5b0c-491e-48

El tiempo va borrando los detalles pero recuerdo dispararle a los robots pequeñajos en plan Rumba, hoy creo que me daría pena.

Más info en la wiki

O en el texto alternativo de las imágenes, que la verdad son para hacerte pensar, entre el servicio técnico, los métodos de contacto, las cosas a tener en cuenta...

Aunque la versión inglesa de la Wiki casi siempre tiene más datos, como por ejemplo que el año pasado sacaron el juego para plataformas actuales.

Looks like the logo for the new Marvel prequel-era Star Wars comic series "Jedi Knights" was designed as an homage to the box art logo of LucasArts' 1997 game Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland looks like a Star Wars: Dark Forces stage. And feels like one, too!

Another quirk of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter cutscenes is that you can hit Space to skip the cutscenes segment by segment, but you have to hit Enter to skip the whole thing at once. (You can't hit ESC since that brings up the options menu.)

Dark Forces added using ESC to fully skip cutscenes, but Space & Enter still work respectively as they did in X-Wing and TIE Fighter, since it still uses the same LANDRU cutscene engine.

Picked up the Dark Forces remaster on the Switch May 4th sale, and having not played it in a few years may I say this game has aged like the finest of wines, especially with these updates.
