toxicTom: Beware of the first Dark Forces. It saves the game only between levels, which makes it utterly incompatible to my increased "real life". I've beaten it many years ago and I can remember that I took 5 hours for one of the later levels (trying to find all the secrets included). I would really like to play it again, but in order to do so, I would need to exchange the DOSbox with a build that supports save states. i just can't afford to play more than maybe 2 hours in one session, and often it's less. So DF would be a game I could never complete except for the first few levels.

Jedi Knight is a great game, but it has one problem: If you want to play it on hard you really need all force upgrades. To get those you need to find all secrets. And the huge levels are built in a way that constantly going back is prevented. So if you finish a level and didn't find all secrets, most of the time you have to replay the whole level to get the missing ones. And additionally some secrets can only be found with a certain set of force powers (Force jump or speed > x). So my recommendation for this game would be to consult a walkthrough that concentrates on the secrets to avoid frustration.

Grargar: Hello to everyone.

Grargar: Hello to everyone.

CarrionCrow: Good afternoon/evening, everyone. =)

A nap sounds good. Went shopping instead. Anyone who took a nap is officially more sensible than I am.

toxicTom: Just a good-night dropping for *hugs and waves* :-)

GhostwriterDoF: Good afternoon, evening and morning to everyone. :)

All is well here in my little corner of the world, just relaxing a bit today, getting in a bit games and feasting.
Hope all is well with you all too...

<ruffles everyone's hair playfully>

Grargar: Hello to everyone.

ElTerprise: Good evening. How are you doing?

moonshineshadow: *welcome wave*

Grargar: Fine. Alternating between Final Doom and Carmageddon. You?

Grargar: Hey there moonshineshadow. All good?

GhostwriterDoF: Good afternoon, evening and morning to everyone. :)

Good evening,

adaliabooks: Hmmm. Thanks for that info on Dark Forces, I'll probably have to find some way to save state too as I have a snowballs chance in hell of getting even 2 hours together guaranteed play time...
Hey :)

Grargar: Fine. Alternating between Final Doom and Carmageddon. You?
Grargar:

moonshineshadow: *welcome hug*

Grargar: Hello to everyone.

moonshineshadow: Yep, just a bit undecided what I should do now :D Witcher 2 crashed two times in the last ten minutes so not that motivated anymore.

ElTerprise: Not that good. My uncle has a thick thrombosis which really worries me. But staying at the forums cheers me up a bit...

tinyE: Amen, because sometimes Myst just isn't intellectually stimulating enough. :D

GhostwriterDoF: Greetings!

GhostwriterDoF: <return big Moonbeam hug>

Are you having a good day and weekend thus far?

Ixamyakxim: Watch the Derby! ;)

Grargar: Sorry to hear that. I hope he gets better.
Grargar: Heh. For the last months, action games have been my bread and butter. :D
Grargar: Hello there. Everything's alright?
