I probably should have clarified that, I liked Dark Forces(played it through 3 times), although I only played it a couple of years after it came out. I do remember when it came out though, and basically it was just a minor blip in between Doom/Duke3D and Quake that no-one at my school seemed to get particularly excited about.
Yeah and the people playing Quake were having 16 player games any day of the week, on an engine a year older. My mate tried to play a 16-player game of JK in 1998, 1500 ping for everybody.
There was one patch for JK, it fixed a joystick problem and a voodoo2 issue. They didn't bother with *any* gameplay fixes, not even the supergrip bug.
I don't think JK was all that big when it came out either. Across the entire world there were never more than ~600(2 and a half full zone rooms, was the biggest I ever saw) people playing it online at peak times.
Outside of the SW-gaming circle, I'm not sure I've ever met anyone online or at lans, who's played Jedi Knight.
