It’s been a long time since I played Dark Forces, and a long time since I played a game with such low resolution graphics. Even with playing it in DOSBox and upping the screen rendering, I’ve been so spoiled with quality graphics that I’ve forgotten how to play many of the older DOS games I own. Case in point: I couldn’t work out how to get the stupid Death Star plans in the first mission so that I could get picked up by my ship. It took my 8-year-old son to point at what looked like a really digitized lever on a back wall and tell me to click that. Lo and behold, a wall went up and I got the plans and made my escape.

I feel old.

Crud.
