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?

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:

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
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Dark_Forces
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.
It’s a slow friday at the office. Playing the Dark Forces Remake on the 34inch ultrawide screen is fun! 😎

Zapraszamy do recenzji remastera kultowego Star Wars Dark Forces, za które odpowiedzialne jest Nightdive Studios.
Erst patchen sie Daniels Waffen in #Avatar nutzlos, dann wird per Update ein Achievement in #Grounded quasi unerreichbar gemacht.
Kein Wunder, dass Alexander mit #DarkForces, #SystemShock & #FinalFantasy lieber im Gestern zockt.

Played a couple of levels of the original Dark Forces and then the first level of the remaster.
Basically, imagine that they replaced all the sprites and textures with more detailed images, and enabled it to run with modern screen resolutions. Same with the cut scenes.
Otherwise it's exactly the same.
It really is like remastering a song from the original audio channels.
Back when the Star Wars Special Editions came out, one of the things they did was redo compositing in a lot of the effects where you could see the mattes in the original print. (This being Lucas, they'd saved the different components). Someone at Lucasfilm said of this that they'd be "the movie you remember, not the movie that it was." (Not counting all of the other changes made to the trilogy).
This is sort of like that. I could have sworn the original ran at better than 320x200, but apparently it didn't. And at first glance, the remaster is in fact closer to the game I remember than the original game is.
Rebel scum!
