Re-upload to correct missing footage from mission 4 - thanks to the eagle-eyed viewer who noticed :)

An absolute classic! Loved this back in the day, spend many hours playing this on my old 486.

man 25 years later i still think sometimes about how much i hated those damn sewer monsters

One of the coolest Star Wars games. Not only it's a great FPS, it also introduced the best Stormtrooper variant the Dark Trooper, now canon in The Mandalorian.

YES!!! This game was one of the first true fps games of our time. This and Doom. Spent hours on this game back in the early 90s. Anyone remember Full Throttle?

It`s always Doom or Duke Nuk'em 3D what got praised and get's attention, but Star Wars: Dark Forces was as great as the other 90's top fps games and played very often at LAN partys. It shouldn`t be forgotten.

This and Rebel Assault were the first two games my dad and I played and beat together. They also helped introduce me to Star Wars before I first watched the first three movies back in the 90s. I’ve been fan since then.

Came for the nostalgia, was not disappointed. Just had this playing in the background sometimes

Never heard of this Doom-like Star Wars game before... really good job in showing it to us!

Imperial Enemies: *"Stop Rebel scum!"* *"You're not authorized in this area!"* *"Surrender immediately!"* *"Set blasters on full!"* *"There he is stop him!"* *"Blast him!"* *"Halt!"* I love all the added flavor and the excellent sound design in this game. The sounds of the guns and effects are awesome, the voice chatter and sounds from enemies are great, the final boss has an actual personality to them and you can hear their overconfident laugh during the final battle to try giving you the nervous jitters in your chest, Kyle Katarn has a great voice actor, and we even get to see Kyle Katarn tell Jabba the Hutt to go fuck himself even with the looming threat of being fed to ferocious Kell Dragons. Just all around brilliant. Many other aspects of the game are great too. We see familiar faces such as Mon Mothma, Crix Madine, Jabba the Hutt, Darth Vader, and even a brief cameo from Boba Fett as a boss. We see events tying Kyle Katarn to events and themes of the original trilogy movies, and its great. Dark Troopers would even make an appearance in later LucasArts games, such as Star Wars: Rebellion, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Star Wars: Battlefront (the original one). As far as I'm concerned, Dark Forces is a canon story in the Star Wars universe. In my opinion from a gameplay perspective it outclasses more popular FPS games of its time like Doom and Duke Nukem, which are more just about playing a badass of different flavors with some mindless run and gun type gameplay making a bloody mess of enemies. And there's nothing wrong with games like those, but Dark Forces is definitely a much better challenge, is more engaging with strategy and decision making to complete the missions, and is more interesting to decide what weapons to use with the 3D nature behind the level design of many levels (tossing thermal detonators down to a lower elevation for example). And Mission 05 Gromas Mines probably had the scariest enemy I have ever encountered with the Phase 1 Dark Trooper at the end, scarier than Doom, Dead Space, System Shock 2, or games labeled as being in the horror genre.

there was the best sound devices based on true FM modulation creating amazing gaming atmosphere

Games like this and half-life really need a comeback. Not just about shooting, but also exploration and some basic puzzle solving and traversal. Love em.

Those little droids pottering about on the floor made it so immersive.

Daaaamn the excitement when i bought this game back then :) My first CD game lol.

Remember having the demo of this way back and played it on repeat till I fit got the game...it was epic back then

I remember playing this when i was a kid & thinking how cool it was that the dead bodies didn't disappear

Back then i have a second hand PC very cheap but it was a pentium 60 mhz, i was lucky to add a great Guillemot sound card that have extended rom feature that can use sample and general MIDI Roland sc88 in real time, i use it mainly to make my own music with cakewalk midi, but for game it was a real plus, dark forces was one of my first PC Game an amazing one.

I love that you can tell how scared he is of the sewer monsters, just starts panicking every time 😆😂🤣

this game was so hard and easy to get lost in, never could beat it

Katarn: So there I was just blasting.......

I loved this game. Thanks for uploading.

Loved this..played it through a few times ...great sounds and level design for the time....

Games like this were the real starting path to how the story was told! Once Disney got their hands on it they destroyed the whole Kyle Katarn route

Damn what a great game. My former roommate and I spent weeks trying to finish this game on an ancient Compaq Presario!

Thanks for the upload! God. I feel like I am back at home with my parents, mum bringing me regular cups of tea and life is good

It always amuses me how your starting weapon is immediately replaced after the first enemy is killed.

this brings back memories on the old family PC. I saw this game at the PC game shelf in Walmart for like 5$. This was a gem in its time.

Your Video helped me a lot completing this game. When i was stuck i watched your Walkthrough. :D I played it with DarkXL, which unfortunately has some bugs, but although its an cool game.

Remember always playing this game when I was 13. Good times

Great nostalgia. Thx

Thanks for the upload, this brings back a lot of memories 😊 anyways, i have a question to you & for anyone who sees this comment too, I’ve been trying to find this specific FPS game i believed was released in the 90s too, so the game is kinda similar to these one but the enemies are all robots & machines & whenever you die on the game like falling or getting shot to death your character shouts with a very agonizing pain, like it will startle you every time. hoping to get answers because i’ve been trying to find that game for awhile.

God I love dark forces. This game feels Star Warsy as fk

I was psyched to see the Dark Trooper finally make it to canon with the final episode of the Mandalorian.

We played this to death. Looking back its a slightly uprated version of doom but great memories.

Was the Roland SC-55/SC family the same synths used to compose the PS1/PSX port of the game?

I remember buying this in 1995 and had just bought Full Throttle a month prior

Big like dropped 👍 Old Nerd supporting

Wow could you record the midis on the roland sc55 and upload that? I can never get them to play on my sound canvas emulator

Do you have star wars rougue squadron for pc? That was my favorite game as a kid

1:19:29 me in every fps game ever

I would love some tips on capturing footage of dark forces/ darkxl, I’d love to use the footage in my own videos but whenever I attempt to use OBS to record the screen messes up. Any tips?

How did you get it to run so smoothly? Mine ran like garbo when through steam

Are you using the default mouse and keyboard control scheme? Or were you able to find a way to change the keymapping?

How did you get the Roland SC-55 to work? It sounds really good for Dark Forces and I want to try it out.

DOS OST is the best! I love this game, Steam finally fixed the sequel so I'm playing that for the first time now. They just don't make them like this anymore.

My uncle favorite game lol

This game is like what would happen if you took Star Wars, Doom, Duke Nukem, and Wolfenstein and put them all in a blender.

This us really good gameplay I always thought after this game I would be a star 🌟 wars fan but I guess not I guess back in the 90s growing up it wasn't brought up as much only the start kids were really interested are you still into 🌟 wars now

Please record the midi music and upload!

How do you open inventory?

Back when the Star Wars franchise was on BETTER hands.

At 4:52:19 there are floating extra lives and revives in the air to the right, does anyone know how to get them?

And now we get remaster coming soon! I bet you didn't expect a resurgence of this upload 3 years later.

Played this game along time ago and the stormtrooper blaster rifle was a good weapon but even the imperial repeater gun and the concussion rifle were better

Can U Use A Xbox Series Control For This Control 🕹️ On Any PC For This Game

I was never able to run this game with my sh*tty computer back in the day.

3:59:20 tbagging boba fett - priceless

I never played this game. How good is it compared to Doom, Heretic, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood?

Was this the Steam or GoG version?

I LIKE DOS GAMES !

trying to find the weapons of DF for the memories.... find a blaster rifel addict who must use the same (albeit coolest) weapon through the entire game!

Remaster is coming

the sewer level was full of shit

1:02:15 how do i aim to shoot that red button?

40:53 Dianoga number 3, 4 or 5 down!

Can i get a .........REEE-MAKE lol

Dukeman: The First Forces (XBOX) Longplay 100% Gems & Shields

a very epic engine vs doom yet they said this game was a doom clone

Unlike the rebels in Rogue One, Kyle Katarn was able to steal the Death Star plans BY HIMSELF! And on top of that, he SURVIVED!

6:58❤

8:03❤

2:46:44 Whuuuut…

3:14:58 😂

Die jedi 🙂

Starwars...Doom?

The jumps are annoying on this game xd

Star wars meets DOOM Hmm

Imagine the intelligence officers reporting this back to Palpatine. What is the Emperor to make of this? One dude basically single handily and systematically destroys the Dark Trooper project and wipes out all said Dark Troopers in his way like they are nothing. Imperial research bases and detention facilities made a mockery of. Half the galaxies criminal underworld wiped off the map. Dude waltzes into the centre of Imperial Intelligence on freaking Coruscant and calmly walks out with the plans. Ices Boba Fett. Not even a Jedi mind you! A large part of the Imperial military just gunned down, with no discrimination between human and droid alike. Guns down everyone on board the Arc Hammer terminator style including the general running the project - blows the place to smithereens. Unconfirmed but troubling reports that on rare occasion this lone rebel commando is finally gunned down, only to resurrect and continue his killing spree. To top it off, uncovers all of Palpatine's secret stashes, hidden items and weapon caches. You would just surrender at this point. KYLE KATARN - THE IMPERIAL SLAYER.

Doom reskinned to look like starwars?
