Crucially, one final clue to its existence made its way to retail: a screenshot of The Avenger&apos;s wireframe map was left on the big box release, tantalizing players with a mission they could never access in the game proper. You can check out the evidence yourself on a 3D scan of the packaging thanks to the online <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/bigboxcollection.com\/DarkForces.3DBox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Box Collection<\/a>\u2060\u2014it&apos;s on the spine with four screenshots, second from the LucasArts logo.<\/p>\n<p>DF-21 credits open source <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/luciusDXL\/TheForceEngine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Force Engine creator luciusDXL<\/a> with helping Nightdive recover the mission\u2060\u2014it was apparently present in the original LucasArts development vault Nightdive used in remastering the game, but had to be converted to a new file type and stitched back together into a playable form.<\/p>\n<p>The result can be played directly from Dark Forces Remastered&apos;s main menu, separate from the rest of the campaign. I can understand LucasArts&apos; concern for new players\u2060\u2014the final process for accessing the Death Star plans is more than a little obtuse, requiring you to flick a switch revealing a secret room, flick another switch that opens up a hatch in the secret room, then find a concealed entrance to the ship&apos;s air ducts off to the side in the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, that&apos;s Jedi Knight and Dark Forces to me! Until 2003&apos;s Jedi Academy, the final game in the series by Raven Software (now of CoD: Warzone fame), &#8220;not knowing where the hell you&apos;re supposed to go&#8221; was one of the essential, defining traits of Kyle Katarn&apos;s adventures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I still fondly recall getting lost in the final level of Jedi Outcast on a recent replay, looking up a guide, and finding the video&apos;s creator <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/UZYpPjYj5sA?si=4gJXjCJVVA_noU51\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stuck and running in circles in the exact same place I was<\/a>.
