Star Wars: Dark Forces - Steamboat Wendigo

so sweet...

Mr. McCrunchables

I'm so glad you noticed and mentioned the art direction in DF; it's one of the main appeals the original movie had. (Yup, I'm one of the old fucks that stood in line to see it in '77.) During my playthrough of DF on it's initial release (I had the demo, too, which you had to create a custom boot config file just to run) I found myself amazed and gratified that the designers had gone to such pains to replicate the feel of the Star Wars environments; it made the world so much more immersive than it would otherwise have been. You've got a good eye, sir!

Yeah even that old-ass strategy guide I read as a kid said that the Phase-1s look like some kind of Terminator crawling out of a bombed-out building. Bastards are fast, too.

John Laws

Ok. Honestly. Who spent how long trying out the nude monmothma code..?

TheKindlyOnes

Played through this game when I was young on a 486, I hated the Blood Moon mission. It scared the piss out of me because I thought the Phase 1 Dark Troopers were scary... ...They're still kind of unnerving honestly...

Could've done the crawl, but made it last like 15 seconds so no one could possibly ever read it.

same, Dog

This video is the reason I am a Patron now.

John Laws

I avoided this game for so many years, change my fucking mind Civvie!

Nihil-Strogg

I can't even begin to imagine the sheer amount of PRO WRATH WHEN CIVVIE you're getting now :P

A great thing about your videos is learning about these 90s FPS games I've never heard of despite growing up during the decade, never heard of Dark Forces before you mentioned it. I like the cutscenes especially because they're extremely PnC adventure game-y which makes sense considering.

QuetzaDrake

nice timing- just sat down for a play through of jedi knight II.

I played the first level demo so many times back in the day but never really dug into the main game. Lack of source port holds me back as I've been spoiled by how good old games look with new ports.

The Pig guys with the axes are Gammorean Guards.

For real though. Doom Blood crossover with hybrid monsters and the 2 titular heroes as playable characters with their own arsenals? What's not to love?

Pro Bloom when civvie? :D

I played this game around the time Civvie teased it in the Blood: Cryptic Passage episode so I could be prepared for this video... and it was totally worth it.

I still haven't seen any of the new Star Wars. When I heard Disney bought the IP I knew they were going to beat the franchise into the dirt. Disney aren't the mom and pop shop they once were, they're practically the EA of the movie industry. I am actually happy I did avoid them from the bits I've heard. It makes it very easy to ignore their existence. :P

So glad you're gotten to this game. This was my first foray into FPS (that and a weird game called "Sensory Overload") Never got Doom until later. Hoping to see the rest of the Dark Forces games soon.

Great vid btw

Rogue One is a fantastic movie fight me.

Nickcronomicon

Great stuff, still a great Star Wars game.

Kurt Hectic

Thanks for doing Dark Forces!

Ebee

Oh my god, you did Dark Forces, thank you! I remember having this game as a kid. I remember I thought it was okay, but a bit repetitive. I don't think I ever finished it, because I don't remember the kell dragon bit. Also, I was always real scared of them monsters in the brown goop, probably because they scared me in the movie, because they didn't seem that bad in the game. Another great episode, sir. And that list of patrons is getting really impressive!

Oh rad! Only a matter of time before you hit that sweet sweet Jedi Knight 2. And then I start begging you for more Raven games. Mostly just soldier of fortune 2. Thanks for all the great content as usual Civvie!

"I still wish there was a complete source port" Friend of mine was involved briefly with the DarkXL port, before the creator started going crazy with scope creep and started making DaggerXL, OutlawsXL, and briefly DoomXL (before being destroyed by the doom community with a general response of "oh god dammit, not another one"), naturally none of them ever getting finished as far as I know edit: Actually thinking more about it he was involved with DaggerXL, after the scope creep had already started. Still though.

nova++

I knew i wasn't the only one who spent hours in those fucking sewers. Also don't beat yourself up Civvie, anticipation of your videos are one of the reasons my stale decrepit heart continues to beat. That and waiting for Doom Eternal.

CruduxCruo

There's something about the tone and gameplay that makes it feel special.

Civvie

Great vid Civvie! It feels like it's been a while since you were this, I don't know the right word, enthusiastic? about the game being played.

Komen

I was just thinking about what was coming out next
