Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I was reading some of the old posts and I didn't see this mentioned anywhere.

People looking for an updated version of Dark Forces might be interested in this site;
http://darkforces.jediknight.net/
It's a work-in-progress TC for Jedi Academy that hopes to recreate the entire game of Dark Forces.
Don't get too excited though, it's only about half finished and since about 99% of such projects get abandoned between 50-75% done, chances are good that this will never be finished. According to the progress page, the coding is taking a backseat to the sound, music, map and model making. Not a good sign at all. It means that they're concentrating on the relatively easy parts of the game and leaving the most essential element until last. Which is where they're most likely to run into trouble and get tired of working on it.
It looks nice though. Well, it looks nice after I save the screenshots and boost the gamma. It seems that all the outdoor scenes are set at night and all of the indoor scenes show that the Empire doesn't pay its electric bill.
