Oh my god they remastered the original Dark Forces, AND it's available on Xbox!
I remember we got the demo of it on a disc full of demos that came with our Power Mac 6200/75 in 1995 (I was 12 at the time), I played the HELL out of that first level and I absolutely begged my parents to buy the full game for me for Christmas. I can still vividly remember sitting in my pyjamas at the computer first thing on Christmas morning after we'd opened our presents, full of excitement when I started the second level. Even now the music brings me back to that.
They've done an absolute bang-up job with the remaster, the controls are fully customisable (which is amazing for me because I can't play FPSes without the Southpaw control scheme, but then I need to remap other buttons to compensate and it's a whole thing), and my favourite part is they've done the same thing as Bungie did with the Halo 1 remaster: you can toggle between the new updated graphics and the original rendering!
