If you don't mind playing on an iPad, KOTOR is available on iOS. I've played it on both Xbox and 360 and I quite like the iPad version.

That game was so great. The music when you head down to D Deck (I think?) that starts with the blaring siren-like sounds startled me every single time. Is there any way to play this game without the discs?
I'm surprised that this has been a reaction I've seen a few times in these comments. At the time, "Why did the plane crash?" was the show's greatest mystery. Combine that with the anticipation created by Sun's "Boat!" exclamation at the end of Three Minutes, and I thought both the flashbacks and Desmond's on-island…
That you and I can talk about the brilliance of the hatch scenes and the flashbacks of Live Together Die Alone, come away largely in agreement, and yet give them completely opposite rankings speaks to how good the finale episodes of this show were. Incredible.
(SPOILERS THROUGHOUT) You're right—while that wasn't a particularly exciting cliffhanger, relatively speaking, it was our first real confirmation that these characters were not, in fact, in purgatory.
I love that ending, and if we're going by the very last scenes of each finale my ranking completely changes. As for Live Together, Die Alone, I just love (SPOILERS) the stuff between Desmond/Locke/Eko in the hatch as well as the tension of knowing that Jack knows that Michael isn't being truthful.
Walt telling Vincent to go back and seeing that dog swim away gets me more than any character's death on the show.
Putting aside the many and varied reactions to Season 6's, this show knew how to do a damn finale. I'm not sure I could even rank them, but if pressed, at this very moment, I would probably say 2 > 1 > 3 > 5 > 4 > 6. That was after about ten minutes of deliberation, and I'm still not confident in it. Some really great…
(Sorry, one more. This is too much fun.)
I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna kill your infant daughter.
Those are great. One of my favorites is the look Whatley gives Jerry at the restaurant just after Gwen the Two-Face heads for the table. There's a great section of that season's blooper reel with a handful of takes of that scene.
Maybe this is a function of watching the show so many times on DVD (and therefore having to look at the episode titles on the menu screens so often), but the punny titles really grate on me. "Lockdown," "Sundown," yuck. It's funny—had I not loved the show so much, I probably never would have noticed the titles at all.
While I do agree with you that a more concise run would have benefited the show, I think that visceral quality you aptly touched on was doomed to be largely a first-season phenomenon in part because of the larger reveals that necessarily came with the success of the show. Knowing that (SPOILERS) Desmond's in the hatch…
If the first season is not the show's best, I'd argue that it's its most fun. (Spoilers hereafter)
The pilot is great, but I wouldn't stop quite there. I, like many of you I'm sure, introduced the show to upwards of 15 people, and every time I told them, "If you're not hooked after 'Walkabout,' stop watching." Not a single one did.
