I'm currently in grad school, and am sharing an apartment with two undergraduates. They are quite a bit younger than I am (10+ years younger).
My one housemate plays video games occasionally, and knows that I do as well. A few days ago, while I was cooking dinner, he casually asked "Have you ever played any older games where the cut scene graphics are so bad that you just can't take the game seriously?"
I asked him which game he was referring to (while thinking that there was a good chance that I'd played that game when it first came out). Sure enough, he had been playing Jedi Academy. I replied that of course I had played Jedi Academy. I proceeded to tell him that I'd played the predecessor to the predecessor to the predecessor to the predecessor to Jedi Academy (Dark Forces) when that game had first been released. I also told him that I used to make custom maps for some of those games, and had also helped to administrate a site dedicated to the sharing of custom maps and playing of those games.
It's not often that the DF/JK series comes up randomly in my personal life but it's always nice to reflect upon the heyday of those games and the height of Massassi's popularity.
