You get a lightsaber!

Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, in which you master weapons of the Jedi and face the very real temptations of the dark side, is now available for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 20% launch discount.

Dark Forces revolutionised the early days of first person shooting. Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II improved on the experience in almost every imaginable regard, as the series once again established a significant milestone in 3D action gaming. If the words "You get a lightsaber" weren't enough to get you hyped about this title back in the day, then the truly-3D environments and models, RPG elements, and unprecedented freedom of movement complemented by a varied arsenal of weapons and Force powers would have done it.

Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is a must-play for gamers looking to experience or relive gaming history, and the GOG.com treatment now makes this easier than ever. At the end of the day, it's a game that allows you to discover the Force entirely on your own - to walk the light path of a Jedi hero, or to unlock the sheer destructive power of the dark side - and that is just plain awesome.

Get your lightsaber and master the Force in Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 20% launch discount will last for 72 hours, until Friday, January 30 at 1:59 PM GMT.

xxxIndyxxx: Okay and what about my other questions?

1) Does it actually work better then the steam version (working music, working hardware accelleration, fullscreen movies,....)?

2) Is it mod-able.
Music works, hardware acceleration works, movies are fullscreen.

JudasIscariot: In all seriousness? No, it doesn't as we are selling the world's first entirely silent game complete with those word frames you'd see in Charlie Chaplin movies :P

Actual professional reply: yes, the music works :)

Videos and music work and if they don't please write :) The videos are in full screen. Hardware acceleration works on most Windows versions save for Windows 8 (caveat: it MIGHT wok on Nvidia cards and Windows 8 but we can't guarantee that it will...)

As for modability that depends on the mod(s) that you wish to use.

Nergal01: Great, thank you!

That leaves the videos, which play in the Steam version, but they are miniscule. :o
I just launched it... Videos are full wide screen size.. music.. everything perfect.
Excellent job, GOG! Many thanks!

Other digital distribution platforms..* cough* Steam *cough*.. should take note of this level of quality for old games.

That is, indeed, excellent!

One sort of thread-hijacking question: will all these games have multiplayer support via Galaxy?

Fantastic! I was trying to get it to work that way using my original CDs last week and was having no success.

I did buy this game on steam ages ago and could never get it to run properly....steam support said "oh well" get over it pretty much.

Looking forward to playing this morning!!

This was the first game I bought a Voodoo card (Monster 3D) for. Even with its weaker lightsaber combat, this game is much better than the subsequent Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. The falling ship level, in particular, remains one of the best levels in FPS games.

So in other words, instant buy! Thanks, GOG!

1080p works, but 1440p gives this message: "Unable to set video mode (Video card may not have enough memory for this mode - try a lower setting. Restoring previous settings.)"

I also can't see the HUD in-game.

Please send that to Support with your DxDIag attached and that screenshot :)
