Description
Dark Forces is LucasArts' first attempt to enter the 1st person shooter market. Instead of licensing the Doom engine, the company created its own which has more 3D elements than
ID Software's, with the ability to look up and down, and to jump and crouch.
The game is set in the familiar Star Wars universe, and contains almost all of the Imperial stuff such as stormtroopers, officers, and droids.
There are 14 huge levels to complete in the original version. Several animated cutscenes appear between the missions to develop the story. There is no multiplayer mode.

Trivia
In an issue of Lucasarts' old magazine; "The Adventurer" (that came with games of the era), "Dark Forces" was previewed with screenshots that did not appear in the final game. Among these included a map of a standard Star Destroyer level (the "nose" of the Star Destroyer is very identifiable), an undisclosed Imperial base/Death Star/Star Destroyer level (with a very steep vertical drop), and an abused urban setting (that appeared to have an unfinished, bland sky overhead). Also, the emblem on Kyle Katarn's datapad was different at the time.
