It runs great - heck, I ran Mysteries of the Sith on Vista for an upcoming (tomorrow) retrospective. All you have to do is use the JK.exe (and Sith.exe file in the program folder to start them.

What Windows version should I use to run Jedi Knight and Mysteries of The Sith? Will they run on WinXP?

As a Mac user, I've been unable to play Jedi Knight but I've purchased the game online and I'll be spending some time on my mate's PC no doubt. I've enjoyed the story of Kyle Katarn and find it truly compelling. He's easier to identify with than young Luke Skywalker and rather than rehashing scenes from the movies, here is an original story with great characters, locations, drama and decent acting. I've watched the FMV cutscenes on YouTube. Your review has pushed me to finally order a 10 year old PC game so I can finally experience the full saga of Teh Katarn, the only star wars video game character to appear in the Star Wars novels and comics. Now to play through Dark Forces again before my parcel arrives. Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast was the first truly immersive FPS that I had played.

The multiplayer was my favorite part. Light sabre battles all over and a player made set of rules to follow (bow before battle, step back, draw sabres, etc). It was a blast. Hmmm, where did I put those CDs? Man I love the Jedi Knight series. The multiplayer was my favorite part.
