Oops. Correction. The game I just got my hands on is Jedi Knight Ambush at Altyr 5. It is a pretty old title, 1998, release, but I am finding it a really fun game to play. I have played enough VI games by sound only I am able to use the sound panning enough to orient myself to target and kill the invading troopers on levels 1 and 2. Not to mention it makes pick up sounds when I pickup Imperial weapons, and ammo, etc. For those of you unfamiliar with this title, the game intro starts out with your character talking to Mara Jade about the Empire moving asteroids over the planet, and invading the Jedi base. You leave Mara Jade, and then you are in the game. You are in a room, explosions all around, warnings of Imperial Storm Troopers have entered the base, and you are carying your trusty light saber. I've gotten allot of good ideas just from what part of it I was able to play before dying. I especially liked the game voice overs from the trooper's like, "There is another dead rebel." "Stop right there.": Of course, when they said stop right there, I usually activated my saber and cut down the poor sucker who said it. Grin.
