Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is a 2002 first and third-person shooter video game developed by Raven Software for Windows and Mac OS. Westlake Interactive ported the game to Mac OS X, while the Xbox and GameCube versions were ported by Vicarious Visions; most versions were published by Activision and LucasArts, with only the Mac OS version published by Aspyr. The game is a sequel to 1997's Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and the third main installment in the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series. The single-player campaign, set in the fictional Star Wars expanded universe two years after the Mysteries of the Sith expansion for Dark Forces II, follows returning protagonist Kyle Katarn, a mercenary working for the New Republic and former Jedi who cut his connection to the Force. Katarn must return to his Jedi ways to stop a branch of the Imperial Remnant led by the Dark Jedi Desann from empowering their army with the Force. Jedi Outcast was developed using a more powerful game engine, id Tech 3. The hack and slash combat introduced in Dark Forces II was heavily reworked, becoming the main focus of the gameplay instead of the shooter elements, which are prominent only during the first few missions of the game. Players may wield blasters, lightsabers, and Force powers to engage enemies, with the latter being recommended in later stages of the game, as numerous lightsaber-wielding enemies are introduced. Jedi Outcast also features a multiplayer mode that allows players to compete in several different game modes online or over a local area network. This video was recorded from a "bootleg" copy of the game distributed on a physical DVD that includes a game installer in several languages ​​(German, Spanish, English and French) and includes by default the Brutality mod and the option to play as Darth Maul.

Heyy all !

Trying to find an old PC FPS from the 2000s. Details I remember: Genre: First-person shooter, fast and arcade-y ,shhot em all style Setting: Takes place on a spaceship or space station Enemies: Sci-fi aliens or monsterd Weapons: Big, oversized guns Main character: Bald or had a mohawk, very big/buff build, wore bulky sci-fi armor kind of like Warhammer 40k style, no helmet Publisher: I remember it opening with the EA Games logo (the round one), and I have a strong memory of the soldier character bursting through the logo in the intro — but I'm not 100% sure this is actually EA, could be misremembering How I played it: It was a demo bundled on a CD with an Egyptian tech magazine called لغة العصر (Lughat Al-Asr / Al-Ahram), so likely something mainstream/well-known enough to be included on a cover disc Any ideas appreciated, been trying to track this down for a while

Thanks in advance !!

Ciao a tutti!

Ho appena allestito una macchina retro con Win98 SE e sto cercando alcune buone raccomandazioni di giochi. Ecco le specifiche:

• CPU: Pentium MMX 200 MHz
• RAM: 256 MB (I've now figured out that my mobo only supports 64 MB with cache, I'm gonna remove 128 MB and limit the ram to 64 MB through windows)
• GPU: S3 ViRGE DX 4 MB
• Audio: Sound Blaster 16
• SO: Windows 98 SE
• Memoria: 40 GB HDD + unità CD-ROM

So che la S3 ViRGE non è il massimo per il rendering 3D pesante, quindi sto principalmente cercando titoli DOS o dei primi Win95/98 che girino bene con il rendering software o 2D. Inoltre, voglio sfruttare al massimo quella Sound Blaster 16!

Quali sono i vostri must-play assoluti o gemme nascoste per una configurazione come questa? Grazie!

Hey guys! I'm tweaking my retro PC build: it's a Pentium MMX on a Biostar M5ATA Super TX Rev 1.0 motherboard, running Windows 98 SE.

​Right now I'm using 256MB SDRAM at 75MHz FSB. However, if I recall correctly, the L2 cacheable limit on this board is only 64MB.

​I also happen to have 2x16MB (32MB total) EDO RAM lying around.

​Quick questions for the retro experts:

​Is keeping 256MB actually hurting my performance in games like Quake/Unreal because Windows accesses that uncached RAM past 64MB?

​Is it better to just keep the 256MB SDRAM installed and limit Windows to 64MB using MaxPhysPage=10000 in SYSTEM.INI, or should I just swap it out for the 32MB EDO?

​thanks!

I really think it would be funny to roll up to a discord screen share and play a sonic.exe game (pc port or sonic 2011) on windows 8.1
