  • So nostalgic...Remember the GameSpy community and how we would whoop those Zoners who thought they were the shit.

  • im 19 now and i remember when my older brother had this game, i would sit there and watch, and he never let me play it :(

  • @sunkissed361 Marry me

  • tumbs up if your watching this in 2012.

  • 2:17 is that the guy (Lou) from hot tub time machine ? It sure looks like Rob Corddry !

  • I'm sure they didn't have much of a budget for any of this FMV stuff... and it still turned out better than the Star Wars prequels. :P

  • i will get dark forces and dark forces 2 and play andd beat them both they old but i always wanted to play a really old fps

  • Waits for the sequel to The Old Republic that follows after "Return of the Jedi" called "The New Republic"

  • this is my all time favourite game. As a star wars nerd, as well as a massive fan of the first dark forces, this was like an acid trip for me growing up.

  • haha, before the prequels...

    we were all so innocent + naïve. we thought lightsabres could be any colour of teh goddamn rainbow.

    even black! anyone remember taht one?

  • @taffysaur umm there is a black one.

  • @Zacspooky yeah i know there WAS. there was every colour of the rainbow (including rainbow i shit you not) before lucas put an end to all taht silliness w/attack of the clones.

    black lightsabres are the most ridiculous thing ever (outside, of course, of rainbow lightsabres)

  • @deathknot09

    I may sound really geeky right now, but what the hell.

    Kyle Katarn vs. Darth Revan

    Who wins?

  • @huntershank Revan.

  • DO NOT buy it on steam.. its absolute bullshit ... graphic bugs.. no ingame music.. no fullscreen during cutscenes and menu...

  • Love this game. I remember playing it as a young kid. I still have my copy. Wish I could play it on windows 7...

  • @SndOfSlnc I have it on Steam and it runs just fine on Vista. Is it known to not work on 7?

  • Is it wierd that as a lil girl I prefered this game to any Barbie pc game?

  • @sunkissed361 Uhh... I guess no.

  • Best Classic game ever. The end.

  • They really should have kept the live action cutscenes. Just with better acting.

  • back when star wars was fun

  • Maaaaaaan!! The whole game is so badass!! I remember playing this masterpiece with my dad so many years ago until one day we got completely stuck in the level where Kyle Katarn seems to be in an imperial base, with huge walking AT-ST in the background... Then my PC died, and my copy of the game got lost in time TT.... So, I never got to finish the game....

  • Morgan Kataaaaaarn! xD i love that

  • Battlefront 2 anyone??

  • I miss the days when they used real actors and when games were about quality not how to make a fast buck :/

  • @raymontmasse hahahahahahah

  • kyle katarn could have easily defeated every one in tht room by simply reminding them tht he is kyle katarn

  • @raymontmasse WRONG! No star wars game could top these cutscenes. It's like watching a star wars movie.

  • great game. epic.

  • Ah me...so many memories of this awesome game...I'd play the same levels ove rand over for hours...<3

  • Jedi Academy is the best Star Wars game, and KOTOR1!!! (and soon The old republic!)

  • I've never seen a modern day game beat this one as of yet. The story was just fabulous in this game. The force unleashed compared to this is just a big pile of shit.

  • I actually thought the actor who played Jeric did exceptionally well.

  • im 14 now, is this game anygood?

  • I played it to death on the Zone, though I was only about 12 years old at the time. I'll spare myself the embarrassment of my previous nicks, virgin to the Internet as I was, but the whole voobly thing sounds interesting. It would be crazy to think that after all these years I'd still be able to drop in on some hot NF sabs action. I'm going to have to give Facebook a miss, though, for ideological reasons. Nevertheless...

  • I was IJK_electrics on zone.com good stuff i have STEAM, but im gonna check out this mirc.com server to see if i can get some ip games going again. best game ever.

  • I still play this game on steam. It's $4.99. I am still down to play multiplayer (used to play on zone.com) Anyone who gets steam, add me as a friend ' donnyxc ' and send me a im and i will set up an IP game

  • @sizzlexc There's still dozens of us who gather to play JK and MOTS through IP on mIRC... download the client at mirc.com, join through gamesurge and type in "jk" when it asks for which channel to join. You don't need to register the irc, it's a FREE program! We're looking for old zone jk players to return!

  • @beethovenite I used to play this on zone back in the day.....I was pretty good you might remember me PJC_Whiplash was my zone name. I was an expert NF sabers only player. I used to have people 3v1 me all the time and win easily. Was my first online PC game I ever played and loved every minute of it.

  • @Whiplash931 PJC_Whiplash, I'm a NF Saberist myself and was pretty well known especially from after 2000 (though I began in 98). My last zone name was __KLaViER__VDS before it went down. I'm actually in the midst of creating a facebook page for those interested in starting up a real community. I started playing JK again with the few that are still playing through irc... we're constantly reminiscing about the good ol' days on zone and where everyone must've gone...

  • Well, now I realize there's a LOT of us out there who miss JK on zone and want to play again. Since summer break is around the corner for most of us, I thought it'd be good to start a facebook page to gather ACTIVE list of players and try to gather either at irc or through voobly--voobly is EXACTLY the same as zone. It supports and works with JK just like nar shadda used to... anyway... I'll post the fb page once I'm done making it...

  • @beethovenite Sounds good man, I might get a copy of the game again for the hell of it. I used to make maps and stuff as well. I had made a sweet HQ map for my clan had alot of good dueling areas and cool hidden spots. Even tho I haven't played this game in over 9-10 years it still sticks in my mind that I may never play a game and have sooo much pure joy from gaming.

  • @Whiplash931 yah man it's available for download for like 5 bucks on steam

  • nigger

    

  • Broke my copy like 7 year ago then my bro found found me a disc at goodwill todAy :D

  • I love this old game so much!!! :)

  • HAHA! Maw goes down like such a bitch in this scene

  • Dark Forces series =best star wars games there will never be any to top them

  • @eddy67 The Jedi Knight series as well, which is pretty much the same series.

  • @eddy67 Knights of the Old Republic. Favorite game.

  • @eddy67 A lot of games on top of them allready

  • @eddy67 the N64 games where pretty good to your forgetting those... some ppl say the snes games but i didnt like them.

  • @True2TheBlueYoViGang the N64 games were great too, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, classics

  • @eddy67

    And KOTOR.

  • @eddy67 no emulator runs them either what a piss off sigh... these games are way to out dated... we need better star wars games not spin offs i dont like the ones were u play as some newbie guy never heard of in the movie. Shit let me be luke anikin skywalker hell ill even play as chewbaka. They gota stop adding characters to the new games just bring back the old feel of dashing thru enemies with a gun and saber and top it off with areial combat. man that shit was fun on N64

  • @eddy67 they have already been topped.

  • @KeromorV2 no, they haven't, you must be new to star wars games

  • @eddy67 Nope, I have played all the Star Wars Games and this game is old and has been way outdone by later games.

  • @KeromorV2 If you were playing Jedi Knight online on the zone a decade ago, I think you would feel differently

  • @eddy67 If that includes Outcast and Jedi Academy then I agree.

  • @eddy67 what about kotor?

  • @eddy67 The X-Wing series gave it a run for its money IMHO. That said, I've always been more of a fighter jockey. :) I used to play on MSN Gaming zone too, in the UPA.

  • this is an epic game

  • woah the graphics are so good the people look so real lol

  • The opening sequence seems to one up the one in episode IV. This blackade runner is on fire, the star destroyer is a super class, and there are not one but seven Sith onboard! Badass!

  • This game was the shit when it came out and it is still my favorite Jedi Knight game.

  • Damn you Windows Vista. I miss this game soooo much.

  • This was an awesome game. I spend countless hours on multiplayer on microsoft's game ZONE online. Tons of mods too.

  • I loved this game and played the heck out of it. I played the heck out of it's demo too, which I think was #9 the refueling station. I never had a chance to play multiplayer with anyone, it seems like it would be so fun.

    I ran around in my own LAN as Boba Fett sometimes lol. No one I knew really played internet games in my town...let alone put money into games like I did.

  • This is what the TV show should have been.

  • 1:39 ... That ain't a Command Ship; Its a small star system with engines .... *gawk!*

  • Thumbs up if u remeber crouching to kill that faggot Pick

  • @italiadude77 Remember it well. Gorc reminded me of Lennie from 'Of Mice and Men'

  • wait.. he kills Maw? how so?? you cant just cut down Maw..

  • most awesome and realistic jedi fight ever in the history of star wars :P

  • I got an original Jewel Case from when it came out, i did have the big box, that'd be worth something! don't think it's worth 150!

  • This was the shit in 1997. Movies, Stromtroopers who could shoot and lightsabers. I DL'd the demo in the winter of '97. 25mb over 28.8k modem, took forver. It was worth it - re-played the demo (Level 9) . Then got a copy of DF that had bonus levels of DF2. I thouyght I could play em' both - but the DF2 demo spoiled me for the older game, so I spent a few months playing levels 1-3 of DF2. Finally got the full game + MotS & still play 1x/year.

  • Ebay, Amazon, torrent i guess..

  • hey can someone tell me how to get this game too?

  • @thepackeyman 5 bucks on steam for PC

  • does anyone know how i cant get this game?? i really really wanna play it again. its been toooo long. so does anyone know where i can get it?

  • @emma123412 5 bucks on steam for PC

  • @emma123412 hay man buy it of steam if you want it on computer or mac. if you want on xbox just order it of amazon and hope for the best buddy. hope i helped!

  • So that's what happened to Maw's Legs.......Lol

  • 3 games of my childhood this,shogo, and starcraft :)

  • I used to play this game so much and got completely addicted, and then I tried to do something physical with some friends and was way out of shape, so i gave up games forever. But now that i'm 25 and a lardass anyway i'm thinking of getting re-addicted.

  • Good times when the games were meant to be fun. Now they just worry about the graphics.

  • @Raziel5 Yeah and they're all based on modern warfare:(

  • @Raziel5 Nahh, they worried about graphics also, they just didn't have the hardware to run what we consider to be good graphics. Back then, you needed a graphics card AND an accelerator card to get really good graphics. DF2 was actually the first game I tried playing on my 3DFx card and the jump in quality was amazing.

  • @Raziel5 Actually I rememebr people accusing this game when it came out for being all graphics and no substance... but then again those guys are still playing nothing but doom 2 to this day.

  • @Raziel5 I wouldn't say graphic. Developers these days can be barely stuffed even doing what they can do with graphics now a days. Money is what they're interested in. Consoles and money.

  • @Raziel5 My big bro thinks about graphics too xD okay i dont wanna play games with donkey kong (nes) graphics nymore. but it has to be fun indeed graphics doesnt matter

  • @Raziel5 in my opinion dark forces 2 was the greatest single player fps out there. even beating half-life/2 'which had the best multiplayer spin-offs and mods but single player wise never kept me interested'. this was my first fps back in 2000 and nothing has come close to beating it yet.

  • @Raziel5 the fuck are you talking about? they worried about the graphics then too.

  • @zehrinteressant He's got a nice pair of rose colored glasses.

  • @Raziel5 no they are not

    Portal 2 for exaple.

  • @Raziel5 zzzzzzZzzZZzzzzz

  • i got a small penis.

  • lol its on cex for 75 p

  • Holy damn, I loved this game.

  • hahaha Maw goes down like a bitch

  • @eddy67

    Maw was actually the easiest of the Dark Jedis t kill - even Yun wasn;t quite that easy. No wonder he has to use trash talk - he must be really good at losing.

  • and even after 13 years fire and explosions still look terrible in video games.

  • cheesy beginning is cheesy.

  • i absolutely loved this game i still have it and its original box as well. it used to be my dads until he stopped playing it and i started too it is one of my all time favorite old games

  • lol,acting is epic.

    xD

  • i heard that the cutscenes are from a full length film which include all the bits in between and full lightsaber fight....

  • Is it just me, or does that Jedi look like Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish?

  • Lol what a trashy cutscene. This game must be awesome.

  • @noxis93 I loved the cutscenes. People said they were cheesy. And to think - "Phantom Menace" was just 2 years away. No midi chloridians in this story.

  • @TheMartialartsJedi: I thought the voice acting was great honestly and I loved the cutscenes.

  • so much better the the sequel Jedi Outcast. Even though it looks terrible now, there was something about this game engine that gave it an individual character, compared to JO which used the Quake 3 engine.

    I can't explain it.

  • @coops1919 Jedi Outcast is better IMO, but let's face it, it cut no new ground like DF2 did. For me, DF2 was the 1st sign of what I could getw/decent graphics & sound. I never played the 1st DF by then, so DF2 was really new The Quake games - Outcast & Academy are just improvements. I think the cutscenes gave it the feel of being in a SW movie. When it comes to Jedi duels however, Outcast just owns DF2. As soon as someone completes a Total Conversion of DF2 to QIII, I'm getting it.

  • were these human played cutt scenes in the actual game??

  • @jpginv Yeah. Also, by the end, you were either a light jedi or a dark jedi - each ending had a different cutscene.

  • Best Star Wars game ever made! period!

  • @ttimecobbis never played KOTOR; I'd put this neck & neck w/"Tie Fighter"

  • This was excitement.

    New lightsaber-wielding actors in a Star Wars entertainment package....

    .... then came the Prequels. :(

  • I LOST THE SECOND CD NOOOOOOOOO

  • @br000ly I lost the first!, that sucked soo much, I then fpund out that my mom threw it away.... Thank god Steam has it though

  • This is like the best star wars game ever.

  • I never finished Dark Forces but I'm interested in buying this one the second or Academy. Can someone help me ?

  • @lucajedi Well, if you have Steam, the whole Dark Forces Saga is there for 20 bucks :D

  • If you want to ever play this game do not install anything past windows XP and start looking very hard in your local second hand game stores weekly. Don't ask me to sell it.. i'll ask £150 minimum.

  • @gosk8inben you can buy it on steam ... :P

  • @Ralexand1988 Not to mention there's fixes out for Vista/7 anyway. Check out jkhub.net for the fixes.

    As for display issues regarding the menu, just set it to window mode (command line "-windowgui") or alt-tab out. :P

  • @Ralexand1988  for less then 2,50 xD

  • @Ralexand1988 I got it on steam for five bucks and it works on windows 7. graphics suck by today's standards but it's still an epic game

  • @Ralexand1988 shh don't tell him

  • @Ralexand1988 yes

  • @Ralexand1988 can you buy its predecessor (Dark Forces) on steam?

  • @gosk8inben

    pft 150 pounds? Are you some kind of moron LOL. In ebay its 10 pounds and on steam its 5, you can download it for free from most of the torrent website YOU ABSOLUTE MORON.

  • @gosk8inben your a fucking nub i can get it for 4.99$ so you are fail sir dont post bullshit comments like the 1 u posted 2 weeks ago fucking faggot kthxbai...

  • @gosk8inben why not? i have it on my vista though vista is a shitty system the game works gr8.

  • @gosk8inben You fail at the internets.

  • @gosk8inben Yeah man.. Just like steam it.. LOL

  • @gosk8inben Why I got my retail copy from ebay last year £3 and I'm playing it right now on Win 7 64 bit? if you need help getting it to run drop me a PM.

  • @gosk8inben I found two copies at my second hand game store, and they were a dollar each

  • @gosk8inben um dude its not that rare....

  • @gosk8inben

    Lol its worth $20 at most....

  • @gosk8inben or you couls use E-bay and get it for USD $22 (or it's equivelent) and play it with dosbox.

  • @gosk8inben

    haha or someone could just torrent it :P

  • @gosk8inben ROFL. im asking for $500 minimum bro, get on my level.

  • @gosk8inben on ebay and amazon its only 20 american dollars brand new sealed with mysteries of the sith included. its not that rare. plus steam has it 'like ralex said' but i prefer hard copies and only buy valve's games that way.

  • @gosk8inben

    haha 150 my ass

  • @gosk8inben i installed it on my computer with vista and it works

  • who was the guy that fell dead at the beginning? i never found out. is it just a rebel?

  • can you guys get me a download link? plz i played the game when i was a kid . i need it!!!

  • @eleousa93 You can probably get it ch3eap on eBay. I got my copy in '99 - I got the box that had "Mysteries of the Sith" included. which I played just one time.

  • oh man i miss this. i must have replayed this game like 5 times

  • This game is awesome. My dad would always let me watch him play and whenever he got stuck I would always get him through! Ahh but this is a challenging game. Jedi Outcast and Academy are way easier then this game. I also miss the Live action Scenes.

  • this doesn't look like a video game. its just a old and non-related movie game. >:(

  • People usually hate FMV cutscenes, but what I liked about these ones is that they made this feel like a mini-movie instead of 'just another videogame'.

    Sure its cheesy, but its fun, and seeing real faces gives the game more 'soul'.

  • @Draculasquest I thought I was the only one who loved the cutscenes. And to think, they weren't as painful as Jar Jar Binks. I think the dialog worked well. Too bad they used the game engine for the cut scenes in Outcast & Academy.

  • Woah. Are these actual people?

  • 2:38 Oops you can see an Eye Bright xd

  • one of my fav ever games :)

  • I love these cutscenes. There's nothing quite like Campy Star Wars. ;)

    I know it's been a while, but could you do the Dark Side scenes? I've seen them already, but they should be on Youtube.

  • Hey I have this game but I cant get it to work on my Windows 7 64-bit. Is there anything I can do?

  • the reason this resonated was the use of live actors....live actors are real and resonate as something real, which is something Lucas lost sight of a long time ago.

  • I played this game multiplayer on zone.com ... i was big nerd on there, shit was like a community of geeks

  • This game was epic because of the story, gameplay, mission layouts and the fact that it was the first Star Wars game to have you play as a random character with a lightsaber + force powers (ones that you could choose to use/level up at the end of every mission).

    I would really like a new Jedi Knight game, as long as its not like Force Unleashed. Force Unleashed is O.K, but the story is just too out of place + dumbed down. A new character, defeating Vader + Emperor? Come on. Thats Luke's job.

  • @TheMartialartsJedi This game is available on Steam Store if you want it.

  • where is luke when this shit is going down?

  • @filthyassmonkey this cutscene is far before the game, it could be even before battle of Yavin, and in the game Luke can't fight with Jerec because his action was secret and only Katarn knew about this.

  • bought this game at half-price looked fucken epic but when i went to put it in wont let me install like fml?

  • Ladies and Gentleman, this is star wars Episode 7.

  • @infernai

    Ladies and Gentlemen, there has never been any episode 1 to 3, as far as my respect goes.

  • this game was awesome! It also had an awesome sequal, Outcast!

  • thats a fucking massive SSD...
