Star Wars Dark Forces released

BSzili · 02 September 2023, 07:28

Behind a veil of secrecy the evil Empire is creating a doomsday army - one that, if finished, will become the final cog in the Empire's arsenal of terror and domination.
Your Mission? Join the Rebel Alliance's covert operations division, infiltrate the Empire, then battle every man and machine the Imperial Forces can muster. Search a vast galaxy for clues, attack enemy bases-all in a desperate attempt to stop the activation of this fearsome new weapon.

I published a small update on Aminet that fixes the CD32 controller support. It also comes with brand new TFEConfig by Daedalus with many enhancements and a couple bugfixes.

BSzili, this is an absolutely amazing port!

Thanks for the (immense amount of) work you put in to this. I runs absolutely flawless on my Amiga 1200 + V1200. Simply stunned.

After googling "Jedi Engine" for a bit, are you planning to port "Outlaws" as well?

Thanks! If TFE gains Outlaws support I plan to make a port of it, but be prepared as it's a much heavier game than Dark Forces.

This is really cool. I remember playing Dark Forces on the very first computer I owned while in college. Now to have it on Amiga is great.

If the screen resolution was increased in the Amiga main function, would the game run, just slower? Something like 640x480 windowed RTG.

BSzili · 13 November 2023, 07:13

If you did that it'd crash because I didn't port the floating point renderer from TFE.
