    Does anyone remember a Windows game called Yoda Stories? I had such fond memories of it that I tried to find the game or an emulator version multiple times. No luck. It was an elegant game from a more civilized time where resolution, shading, texture and frame rate did not define how good a game was.

      I remember it fondly. My family had a lower-end 486 and it couldn&#x27;t run a lot of games but it ran Yoda Stories great! Loved that game as a kid. LucasArts really was a gem (loved Grim Fandango, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Full Throttle, etc.).

        Tim Schafer of Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle runs Double Fine Productions, newly released from Xbox Game Studios to independant status. They&#x27;re running a kickstarter to extend their runway right now around their 2 week internal gamejam &quot;Amnesia Fortnight&quot; and documentary.

        They could really use some support if you&#x27;re a fan of his work.

          Fun way to start a video. &quot;...then for seven years we were part of Microsoft, forced to make propaganda pieces to support our parent companies&quot;

            When they were acquired the stage banter was pretty good too. &quot;we can make excel stuff, halo stuff...&quot;
