Indeed, I can imagine.

You are lucky you don't know Thief and I am the only one looking at that reply. Most would find what you said pretty crazy indeed.

Indeed, usually I find just the installer to be in 16-bit luckily. Between that and wrappers, I rarely have issues.

Absolutely nobody! What a novel idea! Let's have it during the Galactic Empire era, the one where all the Jedi have become all but extinct and so there are few ways to train and fewer Jedi around.

Thank you for that, but I have indeed played both. The original Battlefront I got when it was just released, one of the first games I got that new, and was astounded how it cost $50 or so. BF2 holds a memory as being "the gift" the year it came out. I had been hyped for it like crazy, was watching all the ads. I absolutely loved the game. I cannot wait to... one day... play both again. Those games were Star Wars done right, I absolutely loved the open battle nature of them. Having them on the PC would be perfect, especially since I believe there have been some custom levels. I remember when I got my laptop for that was when I started getting games for the PC again. The first title, the title I got before anything else, was Star Wars Battlefront. It was just to test that my computer worked, then I started deviating to my Unreal/Quake route. Star Wars Battlefront was the last title I touched before I got obsessed with chronology, the one I spent the most multiplayer time on besides Doom 3 (which was due to my father, though I hated it due to having a cheap computer that could barely run the game), and definitely one of my favorite Star Wars titles. Star Wars has oddly enough played a large role in my life, the last PC game I touched before I had a hiatus on just the PS2 was Republic Commando. That one I didn't get to play much, so it is like I never touched it as I barely have any memories outside of the theme music which I always loved.

The Star Wars games I am familiar with, outside of the ones I am doing chronologically of course are as follows, with titles I never played enough to remember besides knowing I had them crossed off:

PS2 - Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (I remember loving the jedi fights in that one), Lego Star Wars (nearly beat it, I remember spending a lot of time on it as it appealed to my collector tendencies), Star Wars Bounty Hunter (For a kid it was hard, I only made it a few levels in, but replayed those parts a lot), PC - Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (Oh, I spent hours upon hours on this one. Definitely one of my most played games outside of Thief. I loved creating scenarios, I loved the cheat units and messing around with them, easily my second favorite RTS outside of Empire Earth), Star Wars Episode 1 Pod Racer (If I played Galactic Battlegrounds A LOT, I played this even more to the point this was easily my most played Star Wars game and I absolutely loved it. It was on my Thief 2 CD with Shark! Hunting The Great White and Harry Potter 1, all of which I loved, albeit Thief 2 the most), KOTOR (Never beat due to Doom 3 Curse, but I absolutely loved the game and would gladly play it over and over), Star Wars Chess (The memories of R2-D2 and Tusken Raiders moving around, I stink at chess but I didn't even care. Not the most played, but definitely fun).

Pretty much, there are lots of D&D clones out there. This is a lot like them. You got rule books and modules. It reads like D&D did at least, if a lot faster and easier to approach.

Indeed, I am surprised myself, I would have expected to stop in frustration by this point. I guess what motivates me is the list above. I miss the games I used to play, those that I don't play any longer due to my chronological order problems, and so seek to fix that by working my way to them. That is perhaps the main reason I have put so much importance on Star Wars. If it was something like Street Fighter or some series I didn't think I would care for, I wouldn't devote hours and hours to it for a Doom level, but as it stands I feel it holds significance. Plus Jedi Knight is definitely on my list of games to go back to and I really wish to reach the games I loved. Star Wars Chess is alright, enough that it is memorable, but I really cannot wait for Episode 1 Racer. 1998-2000 is a very nostalgic time period for me, plus it holds the best titles, either because I am blinded by nostalgia or things before it were just terrible in comparison as a general rule. Quake being the exception of 1996, though as I have said it just isn't comparable to what came later. I would rather play Episode 1 Racer actually, I love that game. Easily the best racing game I have run across.

EDIT: Aaand I'm stuck. It seems Galaxy Guide 6 doesn't exist in version 1 anywhere on the internet.
