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

Max from Steve Purcell's duo of Sam and Max (who star in their own LucasArts game, Sam & Max Hit the Road) makes a most unusual cameo appearance in Dark Forces.

On the ice level, keep your map up during your investigations of its perimeter. You'll notice on the map one structure that looks very similar to the infamous rabbit.

Ewoks also make appearances in the form of a few chained up who make fun of you (and you can shoot if you're one of those Ewok hating Star Wars fans) and the 'Ewoks suck' graffiti you'll find in the some of the darker corners of the Imperial facilities.
