Our first special episode is a lavish tribute to the beloved February '95 release, Star Wars: Dark Forces! With the assistance of our guest host, Connor, we cover all aspects of LucasArts' ground-breaking first-person shooter from its technical and gameplay innovations to its design, story and legacy. Join us as we delve into the unseen realm of Imperial middle management and become audibly upset about the retconning of Kyle Katarn's facial hair.
In two weeks we'll be back with another normal episode covering the month's PC Gamer demo CD-ROM and the latest mid-90s PC news!
