The first Jedi Knight on PC is the game to play if you're looking for a single player action game set in the Star Wars universe. The PC Star Wars action games were way ahead of the console games for a long time until the Xbox era arrived.

I believe there's a bundle on STEAM that has the first Dark Forces and all the Jedi Knight games.

I dont know if they ever did, but my dream was to hook up with some old school gamers online for some Contra.

Picked up Super C and Drouble Dragon for NES. Can't believe I am saying this, but Super C I find to be better than the original Contra.

I loved Shadows of the Empire when I was a kid.

An underrated fighting game. I remember buying this based on the posters and cover art (remember those days?) and it was a good decison. I spent many hours playing and trying to figure out how to trigger all of the special finishers.

Hopefully this will raise a discussion. My mother in law had a birthday over the weekend and I just happened to have my retron in my car. My mother in law's friends grandson was over and I asked him if he was a gamer and he said yes. Then I asked him if he would like to play some Super C and I informed him that this game was relentless. He said he was good at Call of Duty and told me his K/D, which was impressive (This kid was probably like 14). But I told him Contra is a lot harder than COD.

Anyways, we started playing and, of course, he got destroyed. I shrugged it off since Contra destroys everyone and asked him if he wanted to play Mario 3. So we started playing and he couldn't get past one level the entire time (we made it to world 3 before he had to leave).

Anyways, thinking about it I wondered with even all the advancements we had if the most simplistic games are still harder than their newer counterparts. You can't buy an upgrade for Double Dragon, you cant get accelerators. Sure there are a few codes you can put in, but other than that its you against the game and the game's job is to do whatever it takes to stop you.

Difficultly probably isn't the term, but I consider games to be a lot more forgiving now than they used to be.
