JKA, JK2, MotS, JK, and DF are now all on Steam for a whopping bundle price of $19.99. What a deal!

I'm assuming they had to update the binaries to remove the CD check, I wonder if any other little tweaks were made. Apparently the in-game music was stripped from JK/MotS as well, but if I recall correctly those games just played CD-audio from the disk. Since the JK2/JKA audio is in the PK3s, it's probably still there.

Looks like an X-wing bundle is next!

Hopefully they updated Dark Forces to run on anything other than Windows 95...  That was the worst part of finding my disk again; finding out that Windows XP can't run the damned thing.

I hear that it "works" through Steam, but you can't get to some of the settings unless you launch it with DOSbox.

Incidentally, I now have all of these fine programs working on my computer, without Steam.  I may not have followed the rule of the law to the letter, but I'm more than pleased with the results.  JK1 is a lot harder than I remember it.  I rarely have shields for most of a level, even at the beginning levels. 

Something glitched in my Dark Forces playthrough though, and I was immune to all energy attacks..  Dark Troopers still kicked my ass, their missiles do physical damage.
