Brings nostalgic tears to me eyes.

Glorious nostalgia, but hasn't aged well on it's own. If only the DarkXL project would update.

Star Wars themed DOOM

If you like DOOM and you like Star Wars, you'll like this game. I still haven't beaten it, but it's fun to break out and play sometimes. It is built on the DOOM engine, which some people love and others hate, but at least you know exactly the sorts of graphics and maps you will get.

Doom: Star Wars Edition

No, I can't pretend it has aged all that gracefully, and the lives system (instead of in-level saves) may not be for everyone. That said, blasting Imperials is still a hoot. Star Wars fans may love their light sabers (maybe a little too much so), but for me running and gunning in this and Jedi Outcast is some of the most fun I've had in this gaming franchise. :)

Dosbox needs to be fixed

The game seems fun but it is almost impossible to play due to fps slowdown. This is a problem with the way GOG 's dosbox. There are ways around it just know that you will have to put work in before you are able to play this game properly.
