That is fair tbh however once you complete that series you put it down, the Jedi Knight series continues online with competitive or casual multiplayer, including a multitude of mods/addons for single or multiplayer therefor it remains #1@@Youda00008

Looking back on it, this game is crazy impressive for the time. In the first level, you had AI companions, realistic-ish locations, a wall getting destroyed to reveal that cool canyon section that the stormtroopers are in, convincing enemy chatter, an orchestral score, all before Half Life came out. Even compared to Quake 2 and Unreal, this game is genuinely cutting edge.

Something else too: in the area at 6:48, there's a Stormtrooper basically hiding in the corner around the wall. As a kid I was playing in third-person camera and was able to see him there, and I swung the lightsaber in the air to test if he'd hear me and come investigate. Sure enough, he said (and I quote): 'I hear something', and walked over to the corner I was hiding behind. The NPC AI was smart enough to actually pick up on the player's presence, and go to investigate it.

Ahhhh, the golden age of PC gaming.

Mysteries of the Sith (and the Dark Forces saga in general) is one of my all time favorites... but I don't lie to myself...it's beyond lame by today's standards. Games nowadays are orders of magnitude better, and they keep getting better in general (yes, there are exceptions, but the overall trend shows clear improvement)

@Robobob2021 Coruscant was originally intended to be used in Return of the Jedi, if I'm not mistaken. You are right about him taking inspiration from the EU, though. He mentioned in his most recent ideas for the sequels that Darth Maul and Darth Talon would've had a role. I'm not sure how big the role, but sure enough he's used EU ideas before. I wonder if he would've included Mara in his sequels. He did say once that Jedi don't get married, but uhm...Anakin? I don't think Luke having a wife goes against his character.

Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade still live in an alternate universe; I'd rather revisit that universe than the "main" Disney universe.

Really enjoying the commentary free playthroughs, thanks a lot for making these.

This is probably the greatest expansion pack of all time. The carbon freeze rifle, the Hutt palace, stealing the keys from a gammoron guard to escape the dungeon, the mighty rancor, getting ambushed by an AT-ST. Can't think of a single expansion pack this memorable. In fact it's just as memorable if not more than the base game. Bought a Micron PC in my college years and played massive amounts of the golden era of PC on it. This game along with MechWarrior series and Baldurs Gate series are some of my greatest gaming moments.

The sounds in this game like picking up items and switching weapons! Nothing comes close to that nowadays

So many of these levels have me like "What? HOW would you even know that thing was there?? How do you know where to go at all? How would a normal person even find that??" Lol. But these games were awesome.

i'm glad that there are small youtubers like you that get this content that's hard to find

This game,along with Kotor II:Sith lords,have a greatest Sith atmosphere of all SW products so far.

I always loved games with graphics like this, there's something so charming about the slight mismatch with some animations being frame-locked and others running at your native framerate. Lots of old games did this like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and it kinda gives games of that era a unique style

Still have my copy of the game. And yes I still play if from time to time

WONDERFUL !! am so glad you up loaded this !!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Cloud City level was cool! I love how you literally follow in Luke's footsteps!

Great stuff thanks for uploadibg this 💯

42:03 Reference to Return of the Jedi.

Funny I had this game as a kid but could never get through the ending, the last level was too difficult. Blew my mind to see there was a secret level after the credits from Empire haha

Thanks for the 100% ! I'd never found out all those hidey holes on my own

Gah that objective completed sound startled me every friggin time as a kid. I spent all my time running around like a decapitated chicken trying to figure out where to go and then when I did it was always by accident and then BLERNRNERREG

I loved this game. One of my favourite jedi games. The level design was crazy, but so much fun. There's practically no way to get around the rebel base in the opening level if you aren't a jedi, but don't let that stop you. I also loved having stormtroopers invading my base and telling me it's a restricted area. Stupid stormtroopers :-)

Omg this was my GAME!!!! I miss it so much

Man I remember playing this demo over and over, years ago, finally remember the name of it now.

The bonus level is so cool!

The footsteps. Classic really brought 3D to me back then.

I feel bad for some of those storm troopers. Homies had like 6 polygons to their names

When I was young, I played the demo dozens of times and found the original game at the department store, but I couldn't buy it because it was too expensive. I've only seen this expansion pack in PC game magazines. Looking at the gameplay, the level structure is quite rough, and I think that was criticized at the time. Still, if I could have played this during my teenage years, it would have been my best moment.

Such beautiful level design.

Fantastic, I've been waiting for such a series for a long time! I believe you're the first youtuber to release a walktrough with all secrets ! What difficulty did you choose? Edit: lots of freezing at around 1:07:00 and after :( and low brightness

gracias good job

I don’t like it when you forget you’re recording for KZread and just leave the screen unlit for extended periods of time. There is a light feature in this game so you can see.

This expansion looks as amazing as the base game! But one thing that would make it even better, they should used real footages, like in the base game, Dark Forces II, with Kyle Katarn's actor, Jason Court, and Mara Jade's model, Shannon McRandle. This would be simply awesome!

I have to play this game one more time

It's interesting to know that Dromund Kaas originated with this game.

Incredible

57:35 it´s an Easter egg, called Katraasii Droid Ballet Studio

If you want to laugh at the idea of soft locking the game, at the end of the game with the bridge, you can force push Kyle off the edge. Woops! XD AH...my childhood.

This was an expansion right? My best friend and i always played these. Back in the day only some people had computers. Hed bring these copies over and wed install them on my PC and level skip to where we were at his house.

Was I the only one who repeatedly tried to fully close the blast doors ( 3:55 ) by pushing the button right after the Tie Bombers pass outside?

Does anyone know a game that was a character, who had 3 powers fireball, ball (which looked like water), and a green tornado, the powers were selectable. I remember that the levels were also selectable, there was a forest, an ocean, a tree like the one with magic beans, etc. The game I think was for PC Windows 98. In one level we were fighting a witch who was throwing hearts at us and we had to kick them back or hit her with our hands. In the tree level we had to reach the top and get a key to enter a castle. I remember when I installed the game, the mouse cursor turned into the character's face. I also remember that when we lost, an image of the sad character appeared and a countdown appeared and if we agreed to play again the character stood up. I also remember there was a pirate ship and characters from Final Fantasy. Please, if anyone knows him, let me know, I would really appreciate it.
