For those who loved the original game - someone did a lot of reverse engineering and made a engine which works on current winders OSes.

The Force Engine

Can confirm it works at least through M1, and works wonderfully vs playing the original in dosbox. Yay!
 
Cool beans! I'm one of those that missed out on these games? Worth a purchase?
 
If you have some tolerance for the fact it is still an old game, with old mechanics, yes? Depends what you want out of 2 bucks. :)

It is fun overall, but I do very much remember being very frustrated at finding a switch/key in some levels. And you don't get to save your game. Expect that. But the atmosphere is really spot on - "Star Wars as a soldier". All the visuals (pixelated as they are) and sounds are really great.

Isn't your progress saved, just can't save mid level? I thought that was fine for the DF demo, but I guess it could be more frustrating in the full game.

Correct, can only start at mission starts.
Unless I’ve forgotten or didn’t see something in the new engine.

Very cool SW atmosphere though.
