Description             : The Dark Tide is an intended pentalogy of five episodes.
In Episode I, Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors crash landed in the Jundland Wastelands of Taooine.
While Kyle was rescued by Dash Rendar, Jan was ambushed and captured by the Empire.  The 
second episode begins with Kyle Katarn rushing to the aid his friend.  With his trusty
bryar pistol and the Mark IV Goob Gun, Kyle must penetrate Tatooine's Imperial Garrison, 
and face a wily and corrupt officer.

NOTE: This is in no way affiliated with the novels of a similiar name by Michael A. Stackpole.

            THE DARK TIDE

        Episode II: Nightfall

It is a desperate hour for Kyle Katarn.  
While travelling to warn Luke Skywalker
of impending danger, Kyle's ship was
shot down over the skies of Tatooine.

As Kyle scoured the Jundland Wastes in
a dire search for a means of escape, his
mission officer, Jan Ors, was ambushed
and captured by the Empire.

With the aid of fellow mercenary DASH
RENDAR onboard the Outrider, Kyle
now races across the desert towards
the Imperial garrison to rescue his
fallen comrade . . . .

NOTE: You will have to allocate a LOT of memory to DF to allow this GOB to be run.  This 
GOB contains many textured 3DOs which require a lot of memory and/or processor speed to run
(and you still may face some drop in frame rate.)  Or you may want to lower the detail level 
of the game slightly.  (It's the price of progress...)

On PC, extract all files into your main D.F. directory and run DTIDE2.BAT

If you are a Mac user (may the force be with you) simply place DTIDE2.GOB in your Dark Forces
Data folder and double-click it. Remember to MacGober it first! Also replace dfbrief.lfd with
the new dfbrief.lfd (dt2brief.lfd) for new briefings, pda screens, etc.  MWAIT.BM and MWAIT.PAL
are the custom wait screens for the Mac, and should be renamed WAIT.BM and WAIT.PAL.
