Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2

A somewhat forgotten game from 1997 which has the player wield 1st person weapons as well as a lightsaber. The game was noted for its live-action filmed cinematics, featuring state of the art (for 97) special effects.

This is the birthplace of Softdisk, a company that distributed software diskettes in lunch bags circa 1990. The founding members of id Software including John Carmack and John Romero started out here. 

The gaming industry today is worth 100 Billion dollars.

EDGE Magazine #70, April 1999 - @ID_AA_Carmack interview. My favourite thing about this is the images though — look at that long flowing carmack hair! And secretly watching you through the rear view mirror, creepily.

1994 fantasy shooter published by id software and Raven.

When old-timers rant about the days of dozens of enemies on screen and hair raising, blood-spattering action, this is one of the games they mean.

Raven took the Doom engine and adapted it remarkably well to a world of wizard-staffs and gargoyles.

Blake Stone. 1993 Wolfenstein clone by Apogee software.

When I was a kid this was considered realistic. Scary realistic. Even today listening to those sounds brings shivers down my spine.

New release of the Super8 engine by qbism If you’ve never used this engine before it’s really interesting, it looks similar to dos quake but with high resolutions and support for things like coloured lighting, funky palettes, modern maps (now including BSP2 maps)

The definitive JKA tatooine map.

So I am starting this map of Tatooine. I have a strict “no unopenable doors” policy on this badboy; invisible walls make me sick. So here we go, first things first: reference material.
