Emon Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Yes, but I don't remember which ones. I don't think the ones I got were much anything special. I remember one where you were supposed to kill Vader, and one on Alderaan or something. I'll likely download some of the higher rating levels from TACC and DF-21 since I recently installed DF.

The Count Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Originally posted by Kurgan I'm afraid you're wrong, Duke3D used the "Build" engine, while DF used the "Jedi" engine developed by LucasArts. There were rumors at the time of DF's release that they had "stolen" the Doom engine code, but I don't think there was anything to them (obviously, or Id would have sued). Of course that would have been silly anyway, since there were other games that used the Doom engine out and others that didn't long before DF came out. Isn't it ironic now that the Dark Forces series now uses the ID Quake 3 engine, anyway theyt might not release the Dark Forces Source Code because they are worried that there is a chance that ID may sue them over that whole stealing the code issue, as I read in that Dark Forces FAQ, they apparently confessed to ripping apart the Doom engine. But then again what chance does a by comparrison puny game company have against the mighty George Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaruGlory89 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I have a super-three-level demo version, which I got from The Lucasarts Collection II. Unfortunately, I got it a bit too late and it can't run on my ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I have both the DOS version and the 'enhanced' Mac version. The DOS version has been in a box for ... years . The Mac version is still on my Powerbook, and I play it occasionally. The Mac enhancements - 640 x 480 resolution and enhanced sound - make the game much more playable these days. It is still a very enjoyable game. Doom I liked, and didn't get DF until a bit later, and played it and Duke 3D to death for quite a while ... lots o'fun. I like the idea of no mid-level saves, with multiple lives. That was one thing I actually liked in Red Faction II - no quicksaves, just checkpoints. Sure it was a console port thing rather than a thoughtful addition, but it was a pain in the a** and I liked it I am still hopeful of the DF on JKII release ...

Katarn07 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Originally posted by The_One Oh it will come, no matter how long it takes us Oh? Well... I'll get a new PC sometime and can play it either way, but won't be any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Originally posted by The_One Oh it will come, no matter how long it takes us Oh I know - I've been keeping an eye on the forums and site. You guys have quite a bumpy ride, though ... Thing is - there are some games worth preserving in a playable state. Dark Forces is one of them, IMO.

GUNNER Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Have it? It was one of the first games I got. I just might have to re-load it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawidos Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I heard that Dark Forces is a really great game such as Doom, Quake etc. But I can't find this game anywhere. Is it on CD or something else ? How many MB does it required ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|DEM|Mosleg Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I do not have it. I never found out about the Jedi Knight series until Jedi Outcast. My friend who has been playing the series since the initial release of the origional Dark Forces said it's much better than the newer JK titles.

|DEM|Mosleg Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 EDIT: Oh, nevermind, it's $9.99, at first I thought I read $19.99. I came up with this from amazon.com: Star Wars: Dark Forces (Jewel Case) Other products by LucasArts Entertainment Price: $9.99 Availability: Usually ships within 1 to 2 weeks 26 used & new from $2.99 Platform: Windows 95 / 98 / Me ESRB Rating: Teen (Content suitable for persons ages 13 or older.) See more pictures | System requirements Note to Customers: Realistic Violence (what this means) Features: - Stop the Empire from creating a doomsday army - Fully interactive environments include morphing walls and moving platforms - Call on 10 lethal weapons to fight 20 enemies - First-person combat - Single player only It's a bit pricey for a game as old as it is, I imagine by surfing around at some other online retailers you could find a better price.
