Before this… you never got inside the Death Star like this. Dark Forces on a real 486 PC just hit different. The blaster echo, stormtroopers yelling, everything felt alive. Did you play this back in the day? #retrogaming #starwars #dosgaming #darkforces #pcgaming

And you still didn't! However you could steal the plans to the Death Star. Sorry for the correction, but Dark Forces is still in my top 10, so yeah, of course I played it. Got my first gaming mag, because the stormtrooper on the cover. Playing with a joystick is hardcore. 👍

Yes, the gameplay was awesome and graphics were amazing for the time. The level design on some of the maps was really bad though, but overall it was an amazing game.

Chain sequel names too. Dark Forces Dark forces 2: Jedi Knight Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (best one) DF4: JK3: JO2: Jedi Academy

Playing this on a gamepad is like washing your dishes with a cat.

This was an awesome game. It was the focal point of my summer of 1995 (aside from girls!). I remember a shiver going up my spine every time I heard a Dark Trooper. The sound was so well done in this game!

It’s funny that it did feel like a movie

"There he is stop him !"

I played this yesterday, on my Steam Deck. (in fairness, the Steam version of the original does use DOSbox)

Remember we would go to my mates house play on his granddads pc would play this and x wing with the joystick

yeah , one of the few games I bought as I really wanted it.

Dark Forces was the first PC game I purchase with my own money. Such Amazing memories.

Yes, keys only. This one allowed you to look up and down, uncommon for fps of the day.

I remember renting this game from Global Video (UK's version of Blockbuster) for my PS1

I played it, I wasn't expecting much, and I was surprised. It's a genuinely good FPS. It's way better than it ever needed to be to sell, as it had the Star Wars IP. That's a great one, and more people should try it.

was mind blowing at the time

My first PC game on my all new 486DX4 100Mhz

Yeah, thought the graphics were amazing then. 😄

That works on Magic Dosbox on a Fire TV stick or Android phone.

You never got on the death star in Dark Forces. You did steal the plans, but you never boarded it.

It was amazing for its day.

Core memory unlocked

I love that game so much, pixel Star Wars at it´s best!!

There's a remastered version of this available on Steam

Just how I played it 31 years ago

Classic!! The memories

Stay, rebel scum!

The best!

I played it, of course. And it’s so great that you’re playing it on your own hardware instead of stealing clips from YouTube like a certain retro account that’s been popular lately 🥰

Thanks, yep, all the fun of it is using my original hardware! Not a fan of people just stealing clips. That's weak!

kyle katarn is not canon right?

Lol, playing it this week. Almost done.

Ewoks suck.
