He looked like he was wearing a padded cell.ĭark Forces has aged badly, of course - so very indebted to the Doom template, as it was - but at the time it felt the closest I'd ever come to being in Star Wars. Much more so than that smug, shoulder-padded, strutter Dash Render from Shadows of the Empire. I loved Dark Forces in a way that was extreme and unseemly, and the relatively bland mercenary Kyle Katarn was a solid addition to the Star Wars pantheon. I was hooked on first-person shooters - or "Doom clones" as your grandmother used to call them - and a Doom clone that cosplayed as Star Wars was irresistible.

Perhaps in the days, weeks, months, and decades to come. Hey - who remembers when I did a big, self-indulgent, blog post about being bored of writing about video games, and then the very next day I wrote about video games?
