Reviews:

Doomkid	The lightsaber is better in this than in STARDOOM, the slightly older version. This is a tad better, but less assets are replaced.	x
Anonymous	replaced monsters, millions of doors, symetrical layout, bad item placement. It's a classic wad, but not good.	x
cs99cjb	More Doom than Star Wars. Why are imps and shotgun guys wandering around? The map design is good but the texturing doesn't stand up to inspection (in some cases being comically bad). Unfortunately gameplay is downright terrible. There's no variation in pacing and NO HEALTH except concentrated in one room that you may or may not stumble across. Combined with the non-linear layout, you spend a lot of time nursing 7% or 4% health. Sound fun? It isn't.	x
Anonymous	I could not find that turbolift.	x
Anonymous	One of the best TC I have seen. Darkest Hour is much better, but this reminds me more Dark Forces. 4.5/5	x
Anonymous	Funny mispelling in the title :) The emulation is great, it almost feels like a Dark Forces work with all those stormtroopers and interrogators coming from everywhere. Imperial guards with Vader voices add to the mix. Even the guns are taken care of: no hitscan weapons. The bad: besides the fact the author didn't care replacing UACs and TEI TENGAs, there's poor care for balance. Every level has an excessive supply room. It gets 3/5 for this. IC	x
Anonymous	Very good job. The stages are much like the movie!.-Raccoon Officer-	x

LEVEL ONE: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 1 & 2

Your ship has been boarded and captured by Imperial forces.  You 
     are the only Rebel left who hasn't been killed or taken prisoner.
     It's up to you to set the ship's self destruct system and escape, 
     but first you must make your way to the lower decks of the ship.  
     The turbolifts will take you between the two decks.  I took the 
     general layout of the ship from the RPG Rebel Alliance Sourcebook.

LEVEL TWO: PRINCESS LEIA'S BLOCKADE RUNNER DECKS 3 & 4
  
     You must enter the engine's accessways and activate the blockade 
     runner's auto-destruct sequence.  Having done this, you must now 
     escape the ship before it blows by using one of the escape pods.
     As before, I used the RPG Sourcebook for the general layout of 
     these decks

LEVEL THREE: DEATH STAR CHASM AND TECHNICAL STATIONS

You have to make your way to the turbolifts to reach the detention 
     level.  The only problem is there are tons of Imperials all about
     you!  Included in this level is the chasm Luke and Leia swang 
     across, the elevators Luke, Han, and Chewie entered on their way 
     to the detention level, as well as the large corridor with the 
     blast doors.  The blueprints covered 1/6 of the level, so I had to 
     make up the rest.  I'm sorry I haven't done any new textures for 
     the Death Star levels yet, I will be working on them before I  
     create any more levels.

LEVEL FOUR: DEATH STAR DETENTION LEVEL AND SECURITY STATION

You force your way into the detention level, but if things get a 
     little too rough, you can escape into the trash compactor.  In the  
     course of things, you raid a security station (from the RPG).  
     I copied some of the sections for deathmatch reasons.   
			  
     HINT: follow Leia's technique on getting to the trash compactor
     
     HINT: there is a secret switch that reveals the switch to open the
	   compactor door
