This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 30th birthday of Star Wars: Dark Forces, an FPS ahead of its time. In an age of Doom, endless corridors, and fairly mindless stage-based bloodshed, this bad boy held me in thrall with its multi-level maps and “mouselook” aiming. It also had the cracking, lore-expanding tale of Kyle Katarn, a gruff ex-Imp who took on daring mission-based objectives with his amazing (at the time) ability to jump, crouch, and more!
Sadly, Katarn’s opening level antics of securing the Death Star plans got erased/retconned into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. But hey—this game still retains the honour of introducing the fearsome Dark Troopers, an elite Imperial battle droid squadron that reappeared in The Mandalorian. One last core memory of this for me: our hero doing the Howie Scream whenever I pinged him off a cliff.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
For Nintendo Switch fans, a 25% off Super Mario RPG is a nostalgic trip with a fresh coat of paint, reviving a beloved SNES classic that originally marked the first RPG venture for the mustachioed one. Also, a dirt cheap Mortal Kombat 1 will let you unleash brutal combos with the opportunity to play as Jean-Claude Van Damme (who was once pitched to play Johnny Cage in the 90s but turned it down).
