A few days ago it popped up on SteamDB showing that someone was working on the Linux side of it.
This classic title from 1995 was generally well received with the original release and it's so great that we have projects like DOSBox which keep these classics alive.
Good news for those of you who prefer Steam.

Quoting: MaCroX95How cool would it be if they brought native ports of Jedi Knight II and III to linux :D they're absolutely among my favourite games of all times, story was rich, mechanics simple but interesting and very fun to play, we need more games like that today.
I thought that was the case:

Quoting: calfretBut you say there is a mod?
Not really a mod, but an app that maps mouse axes to key strokes, so you could technically map the look-up and look-down keys to mouse-up and mouse-down. The app I read about on forums is called GlovePie and it's Windows-only, but maybe there's something similar for Linux.
You really don't need to look up and down that much, the game auto-aims vertically much like Doom. I mapped up-down to the R and F keys, so it's next to WASD.

This would set a nice precedent. I hope we'll eventually get all star wars games :)

The game appeared on my Steam Library but it's 0 bytes in file size. I suppose the actual game can be installed later on?
