Yeah, I thought of that, but it will take a couple of months to get to Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy and I don't think I can wait :D.

But no worries, I think I have other games to play during those years :)

Since no one take your offer, I'd like to ask for Eradicator key so I can secure my next time travel.

Well, i´m in 1995.

Last year was a great year, i played a lot of games from previous years, mostly adventures, Day of the Tentacle, The 7th Guest, The legend of Kyrandia 3: Malcom´s Revenge, Little Big Adventure, Alone in the Dark 3 and Under a Killing Moon.

The majority of them from a rent videogame store but a game of 1993 that shock me was Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, by Jane Jensen. So when i read on a magazine that a sequel was in project i knew that i had to buy it.

This year the industry is involved on the fmv experience more and more, with a 3D beginning the boom is fmv. Games are made like a Hollywood blockbuster. Famous star actors like Denis Hopper (Hell - A Cyberpunk adventure), Tia Carrere (The DAedalus Encounter), Donald Sutherland (Conspiracy), or UAKM, Command and Conquer, Mark Hamill (Wing Commander), Zork and a huge etc. The games magaziines seems a red carpet!! The future is the fmv! and the less interactivity.... at least is not Space Ace or Brain Dead 13.

So, with my 486 dx33 i bought Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within. Wow! The box is awesome, intriguing and absorbing ("indeed i have a budget box, is not the same but cost me about 3995 ptas/ 24 euros in 1996-7 and when it was released it cost 11.995 ptas, about 72 euros that nowadays are 120 euros !!!"). And 6 CD´s, the disc swapping is the Hell, my 40 mb is close to exploding! damn, i need more free space on the hard drive, i need to erase even the ingames of the Win 3.11. And probably more EMS memory.

Well, it's all good. Let the music of Robert Holmes, married to J.Jensen, envelop the room. Lets the show start.

Just look what I've found in 1995!! :D

Thanks for that free time travel tickets for those, who may not have ones in their backlog! It's very nice of you.

Well, I hope you're wrong :D

If that's true, considering my skills, we're doomed :D

It was a true relief to see them in one piece ;)

Sure, thanks, good idea – added!

Thanks your great report, traveller! :D

Game(and friend invite, if that's ok) sent......enjoy, fellow traveler. :)

Dannng...this is an awesome post/trip back in time.

I love the first Gabriel Knight game(the remake is meh, imo) and the third....didn't play the second yet as I got put off by things like the new actor for Gabriel & the FMV....sounds like I should give it another go some day, though. :D

It is a bit tough in spots, but imo you should be ok(given that, for starters, you don't seem to shirk easily from tougher p/c games).

It more or less boils down to your moral choices, so again: I think you'll do fine. :)

My guess is that Ben or Maureen set the other "bunny inmates" free from the souvenir stand...still, yes: very nice to see :D

I do my best to please and put smiles on a few faces.

Speaking of...to all: There is still a copy of Dark Forces 1 left, if anyone else wants it for their time travel trip!

Both are received with many thanks!

These captcha are getting a little out of hand...

(for the thread)
Some updated pics from my journey:

1- Hmm, this must be the way to the cola bottling plant I heard about in System Shock 2. *sees skull/crossbones signs* Hmm, must be diet cola.

2-*Spoiler* This area of Level 7, if rolled into, has a hidden teleporter to a HUGE weapon and item stash.....all a silencer needs, and for free too! :D

Great! :D I didn't know this one :)

Weird Al truly is a gifted songster....if you have time(har har) I wholly recommend looking into the rest of their music.

So I finished my trip back in time with Star Wars: Dark Forces.

Coming of my previous post, I had a good time with this game, despite it's age. It's still a very enjoyable experience and any fan of Star Wars and/or FPS games should play this game at least once.

The story is nothing special, but the cutscenes are well made for their time, and the voice acting is very good.
The gameplay is fast like all other called "Doom clones" of that era. But most importantly, it's really fun to play.

The only negatives I have is that some levels are confusing and the games never highlights whenever you find a secret.

All in all, I spent a good time with this game. It's an old school shooter that should be on every FPS lover collection.

I already have Dark Forces 2 installed to play next :).

When the decision comes, I will certainly choose the light side as I don't like to be evil.

Yeah, I searched a bit and I'm going to install one of those mods, because I read that they also help make the game run better on modern systems.

*spoilers* That's the thing....the choice is made for you....depending on things like if you harm the civilians/robots(even accidentally) in the levels or not. So if you want to go light side, make sure to watch your fire. :) *spoilers*

Oh, ok. Well I'm usually very careful on those situations, so I don't think it will be a problem by the time that choice comes :).
