Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II includes Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and Star Wars Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith.

Whatever path Kyle Katarn chooses will change the face of the galaxy forever.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II continues the story of Kyle Katarn, a young mercenary that successfully infiltrated the Empire, as he embarks on a quest to discover his past and learn the ways of the Jedi. In order to protect the galaxy, Kyle must confront his father's murderers, led by the Dark Jedi Jerec, and stop them from obtaining the mysterious powers of a "Valley of the Jedi", a focal point for Jedi power and a Jedi burial ground. As Kyle embarks on his journey to defeat the Dark Jedi, he must also shape his destiny - by choosing to follow either the light side or the dark side.

Kyle Katarn's adventures continue five years after the events in Dark Forces II. Invading Imperial forces advance upon a quiet Rebel outpost, interrupting Kyle's training of a brave new Jedi, Mara Jade. First introduced in Timothy Zahn's award-winning Star Wars novel, Heir to the Empire, Mara Jade combines her experiences as a smuggler and Emperor's Hand with her apprenticeship as a Jedi Knight. Mara's training will continue in the field as she makes use of four new weapons and five new Force powers to secure supplies for the New Republic. Meanwhile, Kyle pursues what he believes to be his destiny as he searches for secret treasures in an ancient Sith temple. Will you uncover the Mysteries of the Sith?

I played hours of this game.

I'm pretty sure I bought this day one back in the day. I loved all the live action cut scenes. Depending on which side of the force you decided to follow, there are two different endings to the game.

I just completed the Dark Forces remaster, I wonder how well this one holds up today?

If you do grab this, definitely take a look at OpenJKDF2. It's a rebuild of the game engine for modern machines and is almost necessary to have a good time with it.

Thanks for sharing that info! I was wondering about it since I just finished Dark Forces via the Force Engine. Guess this will be next on my list, loved playing it when it came out!
