Gaming Bits: Star Wars Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series

This Gaming Bits Segment is brought to you by the A. Yoshi Patreon...
ATATATATA!!!!!! 2-HIT COMBO!!!!!!


Star Wars is easily the biggest Hollywood franchise out there, You could argue that the Marvel Cinematic Universe surpassed it recent years, But without Star Wars, we wouldn't have Franchising, Merchandising (Especially since they invented the modern action figure), or Long term serialization and expansions to the story. So in other words Genre films wouldn't be  the same without Star Wars. That being said however, one form of merchandise is video games, with sub series that could be Gaming Bits onto themselves, but one series might be my personal Favorite (and no I'm not talking about the Sega game from the 90s, though it is my favorite Star Wars game), I'm talking about the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight Series...

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!


If you look at how many Japanese Game Companies started out making computer games, the list is actually pretty astonishing. Square, Enix, Koei, HAL Laboratory, ASCII, T&E Soft, Compile, Hudson, Micro Cabin, Bothtec, Nihon Falcom, Game Arts, among others, some of who I'm going to have top dedicate a whole Gaming Bits Series on. Heck Nintendo Initially marketed the Famicom in Japan as a sort of Computer, even Sega Converted the SG-1000 as a Computer with accessories to boot. I already talked about the MSX (which I have to revisit someday), but this computer dominice wouldn't have been a thing without computers like the NEC PC Series.

Gaming Bits: Chip's Challenge



There's many great games in the Windows Entertainment Pack. It had many solitaire variations like Golf, Tut's Tomb, Cruel, Freecell, TriPeaks, and other puzzle and card games, like Dr. Blackjack Taipei (a mahjong type of game), Jezzball, Maxwell's Maniac, Klotski (a sliding blocks game), Pipe Dream, Rodent's Revenge, Rattler Race, Stones, and more, but My favorites are SkiFree, Fuji Golf, and of course, Chip's Challenge. SkiFree should be it's own gaming bits someday, but here we're talking solely Chip's Challenge...

Gaming Bits Quickie: HuniePop, spicin' it up here...

I DO DISCUSS AN ADULT ORIENTED GAME HERE, SO I WHILE I'LL TRY TO KEEP THIS BLOG FAMILY FRIENDLY & CLEAN, IT'S LIKELY THAT READER DISCRETION WILL STILL BE ADVISED...


Up until very recently (kind of), Dating sims haven't sold well in the United States, let alone in the West. You can debate why they don't for freaking days, but really, it comes down to western gamers not liking feminine, anime like, and colorful games, and in return eastern gamers don't like green and brown, machismo filled, military worshiping games (AKA FPS Games), let's face it like FPS Games, Dating sims have a tendency not to be good. if you're wondering why I went on a talk about Dating Sims, it's basically this, Let's face it HuniePop is a more interesting game to look at than actually play. What's the story behind this game? What made it popular in the let's play community? What's this game about? Find out today...

I DISCUSS A LOT OF TECHNICAL TERMS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THIS AND DO SHOW M RATED GAMES DURING THE SECOND HALF!


The time is mid-1995, the Sony Playstation is about to wow any and all gamers as it did in Japan the previous year, Developers were still learning the Sega Saturn, Nintendo's 64 was almost ready to come out, and The oldest surviving gaming platform was about to show what it was really made of. an easy to use Universal Operating System for IBM PC and Compatibles (which were in of themselves becoming cheaper and more accessible to to the home user) has came out appealing to businessmen, power users, gamers, and your typical Average Joe who wanted a simple non-clunky OS for IBM PC and Compatibles. That OS came to be known as...
