This mission is dedicated to you. _________________________________________________________________ This zipfile consists of 3 files - ESCAPE.GOB ESCAPE.BAT ESCAPE.TXT Unzip < ESCAPE.ZIP > and copy the files to your Dark Forces directory < C:\DARK >. Then switch to that directory and type < ESCAPE >. Although the name of the mission will be < Escape From Hoth >, the Mission Briefing Screen will still have the orginal < Robotics Construction Facility > briefing. __________________________________________________________________ BRIEFING: The Rebel base on the planet Hoth has been attacked by Imperial Forces. All Rebel forces have been evacuated......with the exception of Marcus Alliance (code name: Oury), High Commander of the Corellian Sector, who stayed behind to ensure that everyone else escaped safely. Oury is hiding somewhere on Hoth, probably in one of the many ice canyons or caves that surround the base. Your mission is to find and rescue the High Commander before Imperial forces do. Our intelligence sources report that the initial Snowtrooper invasion force has been relieved by Stormtrooper regulars. However, we have unconfirmed reports of, what were described as, "Super Stormtroopers" - possibly referring to Dark Troopers. Probe Droids are also known to accompany Imperial invasion forces in large numbers, so be prepared. Excercise extreme caution while in the caves of Hoth as many of them remain unexplored. We don't know what hazards may exist. We cannot emphasize strongly enough, the importance of this mission. Marcus Alliance is one of our most valuable Officers, and has knowledge of all Rebel operations and covert operatives in the Corellian sector. His capture by Imperial forces would be devastating to the rebellion. It is imperative that he be brought back safely. THIS MISSION MUST NOT FAIL. The evacuating Rebels left several weapons caches in the canyons and caves near the base as resupply points for anyone attempting a rescue. Use these wisely, as they will be your only backup on this mission. May The Force Be With You..........You'll need it! __________________________________________________________________ The only mission goals are to rescue Marcus Alliance (who bears a remarkable resemblance to Crix Madine.......hmmm), and kill everything that moves - if you can. There are two difficulty settings - HARD, and VERY HARD. The easy and medium game settings will be HARD, and the hard game setting will be VERY HARD. There are several secret areas. You don't need to find any of them to finish the mission, but they're loaded with supplies. __________________________________________________________________ Stay tuned to this frequency for future missions.
