Well, the problem with the Star Wars game I reviewed a few weeks ago is that it left me wanting more Star Wars action. And although I did enjoy The Last Jedi, it simply wasn’t enough.

2 years ago, a new tradition began around Christmas, but it doesn’t have anything to do with it. I’m talking about the new Star Wars movies, which are now released around this time. I decided to review a Star Wars game along with them (I tried to review one last May 4th, but I didn’t have the time and my laptop was broken). Last year, I reviewed the 1st title in the Jedi Knight series, Dark Forces. But this year, we’re going to take a look at the 1st Star Wars game ever released for the PC: the DOS port of 1983’s Star Wars.

As you all know, Rogue One is the story of how the Rebel Alliance got their hands in the Death Star plans. But in the old canon (before Disney bought the rights to Star Wars and decreed the Expanded Universe as non-canon) those plans were stolen by perhaps the most famous Jedi outside the movies: Kyle Katarn. In fact, you do just that right on the first level of Dark Forces (which was basically the demo).
Yes, there’s a Star Wars Doom clone. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GO AND PLAY IT!
… Well, I suppose I should tell you more about it.
