Now that it can indeed work on the mac, can we please put this game in the Hall of Fame? Surely it deserves it. It's got some of the greatest uses of the "force" I've seen in any mod, and the entire level is just FUN. I loved IronFort and it's a brilliantly designed level, but it just isn't as FUN as Assassinate Vader. It reminds me a lot of Bounty Hunt SE, another level that isn't great because of technicalities but because it's got
a) A great premise
b) Awesome, "wow that was really sweet" moments.
c) And a great giddy immersive atmosphere.

In spite of its many flaws ADV is a genuine DF legend; it'll find its way into the HoF sooner or later.
I'm sure it'll happen.
Unless His Scapeness decides he can't be bothered running another round, of course.

ADV is the first Dark Forces Addon Mission I played, if memory serves me correctly.
I really enjoyed it. And I still do. It is still ranked among the top levels on my list.

Well, now that Scape Goat is out of the way,
( ) I think it might be high time to hold another round to get this mission added. To quote what I said when reviewing the level:

(the level) ...is nothing short of spectacular. When I first heard the plot, it sounded very newbie-ish: Go and kill Vader. It didn't sound like it could even possibly have the partial-cannon status that we try to shoot for when making levels.
Fortunately, any initial thoughts about it were wrong. Although much of the arcitecture could be considered bland, it most definitely is a Victory-Class Star Destroyer, and it does look surprisingly authentic for only DF. The action is incredible, as one would expect on board a capital ship housing thousands of troops. The puzzles were also fairly devious. Even though most of the materials were re-used, it was understandable, as they were meant for an environment such as an imperial star ship. Plus, the ending (inlcuding vader) is an interesting surprise, and includes a lot of good work with INF. This level easily deserves its five stars.- Quality: 90%
- Atmosphere: 97%
- Innovation: 85%
- Gameplay: 100%
- Overall: 93%
