The StickSkills gang remembers their favorite LucasArts games of yore.
Star Wars: Dark Forces has been around for literal decades, and yet the force is still strong for this iconic shooter even 30 years later.
I remember waiting for the original to release 30 years ago and receiving my monthly copy of PCGamer magazine packed full of demos, including this game and all sorts of interesting software… good times!
Nothing like thinking back to realise how shitty the world has become these days.
Dark Forces, one of the most influential FPSs in videogaming history, hits a milestone in 2025.
Experience the classic adventure anew with Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, launching Feb 28, 2024, on all major platforms with enhanced visuals and gameplay.
Thank you again NIGHTDIVE for making a remaster of one my favorite PS1 games Darlk Forces ! definitely buying this on day one . Even John Romero had given Dark Forces high praise back in the 90s .
Let's get remakes/remasters of the Jedi Knight series and some more sequels to that franchise too.
I would argue that the Star Wars games were the start of Lucasarts demise. Sure, X-wing and X-wing vs Tie fighter were great but that's where the Star Wars obsession began. Before then they were innovators and leaders with games such as Rescue on Fractalus, Ballblazer, the Eidolon, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, etc.
Once they started with Star Wars all this creativity died and they begun to spiral inwards, sucked into a single brand black hole. Rest in piece Lucasarts. Some of us still remember your glory days.
Gladius was my favourite Lucas Arts game... so disappointed we'll never see another
Loved the super star wars games on snes
Monkey Island on sega cd, summer of '96. Best summer of my life.
