: While LucasArts *IS* making a DOOM-like game called Dark Forces (see the
: DFSLIDE.ZIP slide show), I don't think that LucasArts would want to
: license an existing engine. Besides, from the looks of the slideshow,
: there are platforms that you can go under AND over! (A couple of
: StormTroopers are charging across one at you.) TTFN.
The DFORCES.DOC file that comes with the slideshow says that the
Dark Forces engine was developed by LucasArts and not by Id. It also
claims to get 30 frames-per-second on a DX2/66, but they didn't say what
res they got that at.
