Star Wars DOOM (SW1) is the only Star Wars DOOM to be completely
finished and non-dependent of the DOOM program. SW1 started out as a simple
2-leveled Patch Wad created by Kyle Katarn. The PWAD was then brought to
Ben Kenobi for testing the same day. Kenobi was surprised and loved the
levels...but something was missing : The Graphics.
So the SW1 group searched for ways to make it look more like Star Wars.
Through our searches, we found a Dark Forces graphics extractor. With this
program, we were able to insert Storm Troopers, Dark Troopers and some
Storm Trooper Rifles. Other graphics like Tusken Raiders and Jawas were
taken from some patch wads found at the DOOM themes page. So we don't take
credits for them.
We've heard of other SW DOOM projects... however, the projects seem to
have all stalled somewhere. Our project is all done. We've made a full
32 level wad. This wad is self-dependent, so that you don't have to use
DOOM2 to play at all. By doing so, our game is just like DOOM2, only with
its own EXE and IWAD so you don't have to buy or install DOOM2. This will
save up to 15 megs of Hard Disk space.
Recently, there has been an addition to our group. Will Bowen, a faithfull
friend of ours, has supplied us with some wavs & more graphics from
Dark Forces. He is now part of the SW1 Group, which is part of Slick
Software.
Storyline
A long time ago
in a galaxy far, far away...
Star Wars DOOM
Episode 1
Mercenary for the Empire
Rival clans fight for the control of the galaxy. The Rebels are sparce
and rarely found, while the Empire is everywhere. Then comes a new clan
to further unbalance the peace of the galaxy. They are a new Imperial group
who are called the Dark Knights.
The Dark Knights seek to overpower the Empire and take control of the galaxy.
However, taking new recruits is hard in this time of war and the only solution
was to hire a mercenary.
They managed to hire you, a well known mercenary who can use any weapon
given at your disposal. First, you must find a ship to do your mission.
A Rebel landing platform has been taken over by the Empire and you must
get a ship from them. With a pistol and spiked gauntlets, you prepare to
infiltrate the platform...
Pistol : The pistol is the first weapon you get (duh!) It is very weak in Firepower and slow.
Storm Trooper Rifle : The Rifle is the main weapon the Empire uses in attacks. This weapon is strong and fires rapidly...leaving only corpses of your enemies.
Dupler Rifle : The Dupler Rifle is a modified version of the Storm Trooper Rifle. It does twice as much damage in one shot. It's main drawback is that it needs a few seconds of reload time to avoid overheat.
Chainguns : A very primitive weapon that still kicks ass. These babies can shoot up to 100 bullets in a matter of seconds...good for taking out large groups.
Mortar Gun : An old weapon good for doing heavy damage to enemies. Some AT-STs are equiped with these and can take on any enemy of the same size.
Plasma Rifle : A more compact version of the dreaded Assault Cannon. This plasma rifle is light and can fire many shots in little time. Designers made it look like a Storm Trooper Rifle for more ammunition space.
Portable DeathStar : The DeathStar was a dangerous battle station because of its super laser. Engineers managed to make a compact version of this laser. However by doing so, the power of the laser was reduced to avoid killing the user.
Spiked Gauntlets : When you're out of ammo...you're doomed, so why not take a few enemies with you by bashing them with Spiked Gauntlets?
LightSaber : A Jedi's weapon. A really fast and powerfull close-range weapon when you run out of ammo.
Imperial Officers : These low-ranking officers are mostly seen near taken Rebel Bases & Imperial Complexes. They are no match for a good 'ol blaster.
Storm Troopers : These are the main strike force of the Empire. They cary Rifles and easily take you down if you are too close. These always walk in groups of five or more.
Snow Troopers : These more heavy attack Troopers were seen in Empire Strikes Back. They have more armor and firepower then Storm Troopers. Taking them out before they can shoot you would be a good idead since they carry Fusion Rifles.
Wookiees : These barbaric aliens somehow got in the Empire and will rip your head off if you get too close. They can't be killed easily with pistols, so a more advanced weapon is needed.
Jawas : These creatures may be small, but they won't go down without a fight. They have Pistols and always travel with their clan. They use SandCrawlers to get around Tatooine.
Tusken Raiders : Bad Attitude, A Powerfull weapon and tough skin makes these bastards a real threat. They can easily take out any travelers without problem.
Pig Guards : Jabba's Pig Guards now serve the Empire. They have been recruited after the death of their master.
Dark Troopers (level 2) : Dark Troopers are fast, big and powerfull. They carry the feared Assault Cannon and can take out large numbers of enemy.
Dark Trooper (level 3) : This Combat Armor ofers an officer with some protection against attacks. A Chaingun is the Trooper's only weapon. It is far bigger than the level 2 and can fire faster.
AT-STs : These assault vehicules are used by the Empire to give some support for troopers. They have rocket launchers and are hard to destroy. The best thing to do is...RUN!!!
Darth Vader : The Dark Lord of the Sith himself want to take you down. His lightsaber is deadly to any foe. He is master of the Force and you should be very carefull to his actions.
The Emperor : Emperor Palpatine wants you to join the Dark Side. For this, you must get rid of Vader and strike him down. Or just punch the life out of 'em. Who cares about the Dark Side!? As long as you kick his ass.
