#1 it will run too fast #2 it uses an old school fog system that has been dropped from 3D cards for many years now. Fog will be missing and that will make it look quite off. I actually built a PC that runs Win98 and has a Voodoo5. I use it to run ga...  [Read More]

Interesting. Well you do have to remember that PS1 has a very wimpy MIPS R3000 CPU at a whole 33 MHz. That CPU basically has less guts than 486, and it's at a low clock. Porting a DOS game that was designed for mid/high end 486s is going to take its...  [Read More]

...but c'mon TFU makes you feel like you are actually participating in the fight and have a lot of ways of killing your opponents. Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy really did it better though. I just did not like TFU's gameplay or controls. I'm glad...  [Read More]

Well, I kinda think that the games are all that matters. What is so much better about today's console games? The only new thing going compared to older generations is extensive multiplayer. Is that all that matters now? Is the newest generation most...  [Read More]

Maybe we should judge based on which generation had the best Star Wars games? ;) In that case, hmmm, I'd have to go with either 4th or 5th. I like the Super Star Wars games on SNES a good bit. However, Shadows of the Empire on N64 was excellent, alo...  [Read More]

I don't consider graphics very important, but that is not how most people see things. I'd go with the 5th gen because it brought us 3D worlds and their gameplay. Comparing 5th gen to its predecessors shows you a huge contrast. Also among 5th's achi...  [Read More]

those are "classic"? Those are like the 3rd generation of Star Wars games. :) I did like SotE though, even if it is really rather flawed. The classics really started up with SNES and (especially) the PC games of the early '90s, IMO. Graphi...  [Read More]

Good: Sweet space battles. Interesting ground battle tactical potential. Ground battle is very challenging. I do think things get blown up too fast and easily, especially troops. It's like total carnage slaughterfest for the soldiers. It feels a LOT...  [Read More]

Yeah, all tis true. The gaming world is so much different now compared to last decade. Pretty graphics really have changed things a lot, and mostly for the worse for sure (IMO). Your reference to the common RTS fan is totally spot on. I have friends...  [Read More]

Well, we've never had an evil Star Wars FPS ala TIE Fighter. Actually, TIE Fighter was not really "evil" though, because it brought into play the usual ambiguity of what really is evil? A point of view. The empire was just trying to maint...  [Read More]

Sorry, but there's just not much game here. I love Star Wars and play all of the games all the way back to X-Wing, but the original Jedi Knight offers an enormously superior experience compared to this 9-hour-game. It was fun to blow up super battle...  [Read More]

I just beat RC a few hours ago and I've had time to reflect on it. My call on the game is that it's a EXTREMELY linear title with tons of repetition. The game is far too short and ends in a pretty lame and sudden way. I think it took me less than 10...  [Read More]

There's a Dark Forces mod for Jedi Academy that is pretty amazing to say the least. It only has the first 4 levels or something but they are great. I don't know if today's LucasArts can be depended on to make a good game period. If you want a remak...  [Read More]
