Big fan. And it's original incarnation Dark Forces was one of the all time great 1PS.

I haven't played that one :-X. I played Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy (the latter with a mod, seeing as the normal multiplayer was crap) so much. I even own Jedi Outcast multiple times, for multiple systems :p.

Outcast and Dark Forces were both awesome, Jedi Academy was kinda meh.
-
Jedi Academy rocked in multiplayer with the moviebattles mod (possibly my most played game). The normal game was pretty meh indeed.

DF is straight 1PS--no light saber and no force powers.
My problem with the follow ups was that while I liked the force, you never really got to be a badass until the final levels. There should have been an version where you're a Jedi Master from the get go without all the stupid training stuff. Hell, in the Outcast, you didn't even get a light saber until half way through.

I hated the fact that you needed to wait so long for the lightsabers, the first few levels were pretty boring imo.
I think I played it through with cheats once (so I got lightsaber + all powers) just so I could feel like a badass.

That's what I did with each of the 3, but I had it set to the ultimate difficulty. Unfortunately, with force powers and a light saber, that's still no where difficult enough. I just really liked plowing my way through hundreds of storm troopers using the force to kill them in imaginative ways. No matter how many times I do it, force choking somebody off a 3000' precipice still amuses the shit out of me. "Die Jedi Scu--AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!"

Dark Forces 2 was one of the best games I have ever played, and remains one of my favorites to this day. I remember being stuck on level 6 for the longest time (the one where you are outside the imperial fortress).
Great game, Dark Forces 1 and 2 were awesome... Outcast and Academy were ok but nowhere near as good as the first two.
-
Dark Forces is my favorite FPS ever. My brothers and I played it constantly when we were kids. We used to go over to a friend's house to play Dark Forces 2 as well, but I was the youngest and never really got to play it very much.
When Jedi Outcast came out, I bought it right away and loved it. The levels before you get your lightsaber are a little bit boring, but they're also the most challenging, if you ask me. That mining facility is a pain in the ass on the higher difficulties. Once you get the lightsaber and become practically invincible, the game is pretty much cake.

It's a shame they seem to be done with the series. Except for the final 2 bad guys, JA wasn't bad at all. The AI sucked pretty bad, but that's exactly what they could do much better nowadays. I thought the story sucked, but I can only think of one game where the story actually kept me entertained, anyway.
Anybody have any experiences with good user created levels?

The modding community for JO/JA was pretty great in its prime. Lots of stuff was released. I was actually working on a total conversion to get Super Smash characters, maps and items into multiplayer... made some progress but died out, along with the rest of the community.
There was also a Dark Forces total conversion for Jedi Academy... There are a few demos floating around, that was pretty cool too.
-
I'd just like some more levels to plow through. If somebody created a whole 15 level conversion, then great. I'd be just as happy with a few nice, long invade the Star Destroyer type maps.
-
Well for Outcast or Academy, can't remember which, I have a Duffman skin/sound pack for multiplayer. OH YEAH! :hat
*gets force chocked*
DUFFMAN CAN'T BREATHE! OH NO!

Probably the best place for mods. Haven't been there in awhile so I dunno what ones are the best, but if you look around you should find some good stuff!

Outcast/Academy were awesome games!
-
Jedi Knight(Darkforces II) and Outcast were the best star wars games in existence bar KotOR.
