So I have the old CD key of this game but...

I can't redeem it on steam because it won't accept the format of the key. Is there a way I can get this on steam or something? I also got this new pc, but there isn't a disk drive, so I can't install it via disk.

Well, it may or may not work, but you could try activating the key on GOG here: https://www.gog.com/reclaim It won't give you a Steam version of the game, but you'll at least be able to play it without using the disk.

CD Keys are different than Steam game Keys, so that's why it won't recognize it D=

It is only £7 without a sale, and it always gets a decent discount if you can wait until the next sale. If you have several old games like this, get an external DVD drive.

Where do I look for my CD key? Or is it only for non jewel case games?

Hmmm... my original copy is all scratched too, but I am curious where the cd key is at as well. On or in the jewel case or on the instruction manual? The CD case I should have somewhere, the game manual, most likely not...

Besides not wanting to pay for the game again, I have heard that the "true light saber" mode, which is a cheat code you enable in console using the "~" key, does not work in the Steam digital version, which is a real bummer, as that mode is so fun and makes you feel like you are truly a Jedi swinging a real light saber around. It would cut limbs and even heads off instantly. It is really the only reason I had never bought the Steam version yet, because no one can confirm it works.

It is not just that it occasionally cuts off a limb, but that if you even have the light saber out and just "graze" someone with it, they literally fall apart! ^^! It changes the game play dramatically.
