So, you may have noticed I love LucasArts games and this one is no different. As many LucasArts games this is an point-and-click advent... oh wait. It is a Star Wars games, so it is probably a space shoot... oh wait. It is a first-person shooter in the Star Wars universe? Yes, it is, and it is great.

Dark Forces took influences from the booming shooters like Doom and built upon that foundation. It had so much more on offer than Doom had, which made it an excellent game. To this day the felling of meeting the first Dark Trooper is hard to beat.
