New Titles for PlayStation and Saturn Will Release This Winter

by Barbara Gleason


Dark Forces and Rebel Assault II, two of LucasArts' most popular PC CD-ROM games, will be launched this December for the Sony PlayStation. Both Star Wars titles will be customized versions, designed to take advantage of the PlayStation's unique 32-bit capabilities.
Dark Forces, winner of the Software Publisher's Association Action Game of the Year, will blow you away with its visceral blend of first person energy and adventure. This thrilling Star Wars story stars YOU as agent Kyle Katarn, sent out by the Rebel Alliance to search and destroy a terrifying army of dark troopers. Players navigate through complex and realistic environments, with an awesome arsenal of weapons, to face a multitude of familiar and new Star Wars adversaries.

Rebel Assault II's fast-paced action set in the Star Wars universe garnered special praise from USA TODAY ("Another Star Wars triumph") and Entertainment Weekly ("This sequel goes galaxies beyond the original"). Rebel II features incredibly well-rendered 3D graphics and live action video - using actual props and costumes from the Star Wars trilogy. As Rookie One, you will call upon your skills in cockpit combat, flight maneuvering and blaster combat. You will pilot a number of Star Wars vehicles: starfighters, speeder bikes and a Millennium Falcon-class freighter.

Slated for release in early 1997 are two original titles specially developed for the next generation platforms: BallBlazer Champions and Herc's Adventures.

BallBlazer is an all-new, entirely updated version of the classic Atari and Commodore 64 action-arcade title. This lightning fast, first-person experience for PlayStation has players operating hover-craft vehicles in a futuristic Rollerball-type competition. The objectives and playing field for each game vary, but they all require superior piloting and a strong stomach.

Ancient history turns into a virtual toga party in Herc's Adventures, a puzzle-oriented, RPG action adventure game. You embark on a quest to save Persephone from the evil clutches of Hades, the god of the Underworld. Cartoony graphics and twisted humor keep the atmosphere at spoof level. Where else could you throw a house at an enemy? Or get defended by a small swarm of frogs? Or run from a flying saucer full of nasty, pyramid-building aliens? All of the classic mythological characters show up - Hera, Poseidon, the Minotaur and Medusa, to name a few. This unique title for Saturn and PlayStation represents a new adventure game style for LucasArts that players will love.
