Although I'm personally not a fan of Star Wars (I blame my Ex :p). I've just found out through Earok however, that not only did the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis get a new homebrew release called 'Super Star Wars Holiday Special'. Which is an unofficial game from the cult-classic SNES Super Star Wars series, and loosely based on the outrageous The Star Wars Holiday Special from 1978.

Well here we are with another BSzili announcement, as he has told us that he has made available the Amiga port of the Star Wars first person shooter game of Dark Forces.
