I would absolutely get this if I didn't already get gifted the Star Wars collection on Steam a couple of years ago when it was like, 75% off... Great times with so many Star Wars games, and these are definitely up there, though I don't have KOTOR2

I've only dabbles in Battlefront 2 so far and I think I need to find a way to hook it up to my tv. Its wont go full screen on my laptop and its distracting. Also I'm using my Xbox One controller for it and after about an hour of fiddling with button mapping and sensitivity I think it's perfect. Using the keyboard and mouse for these games is like learning to walk again.

I've been a PC gamer for a loooooooooong time, so taking up the keyboard and mouse isn't really an issue for me, most times I find it FAR easier to aim with a mouse... Also, if your laptop has a VGA port I'd use that over an HDMI... I tested both from my AMD Radeon HD 6670 to my Sony Bravia TV, and the HDMI had some pretty bad quality and had this one issue where the screen turned pink randomly... VGA connection is way sharper and clearer for me, though as you may already be able to tell, I'm WAY overdue a graphics card update

Yeah the issue with me is that mouse and keyboard is great with games (even FPS) that demand a slower pace and dont put you in the line of fire and chaos right away. Battlefront is just two hectic for me to effectively play without a controller. Games like Jedi Outcast are great examples of it done right. The first 5 levels are straight-up stealth exploration with enemies few and far between and by the time your half way through the game they throw a lightsaber into the mix and your ready for the new challenge.

Beware. NONE of these run very well on Win7 or higher (cant speak for Dark Forces or Republic Commando)
They are great games, but if you can find them for their intended systems, you'll be MUCH better off.
Battlefront 2 is easily the biggest offender here. There's a hitch in the code somewhere that crashes the game 100% of the time if you're using RealTek Audio. It's an obscure bug that caused many a headache.

..?..Battlefront II is easily the best running game on my Windows 8.1 OS. I've experienced 0 issues with it and it's by far the easiest to map and control with an Xbox One controller. Muscle memory kicks in and it feels like it did 10 years ago on the original Xbox. Not a single issue. Can't say the same for Jedi Academy being MY biggest offender.

The thing I miss about Battlefront 2 is the hero mode where it's all the heroes against each other... However, that mega battle mode...

Nice. They just added the rest of the Jedi series and Starfighter to the bundle.
