Star Wars: Dark Forces is a successful FPS game that gave birth to a whole series of shooters about the adventures of the brave Kyle Qatar, and in its time was also a significant technological step forward for the whole genre. The story presented here was unofficially connected with the first trilogy of Star Wars, which only made it popular.

Soon, the product also received a less successful console version. The game represents the development of ideas used in old productions of this type. The story was divided into stages, from which an exit had to be found, collecting keys to the next rooms and eliminating whole hostile enemies.

Interestingly, although the engine may resemble the one used in the cult Duke Nukem 3D, it was written from scratch for the project. He introduced a lot of novelties. The places visited are multi-storey, very often lifts are used.

The geometry of the environment is more advanced compared to previous FPP games. You will be looking up and down, jumping and crouching. The climate is built not only through the sound of films or opponents modelled on those of George Lucas' paintings, but also through the use of changing atmospheric conditions.

The player to use gets characteristic weapons plus useful equipment, including a torch and a gas mask. In addition to the state of health, we must also take care of the level of protection. The shareware version offers you to play the first level of the game, demonstrating the capabilities of the engine created from scratch.

This gives an interesting insight into the mechanics of the game. To have fun you will need to download and run the DOSBox program. We also recommend that you read the video tutorial on how to configure it correctly.
