Map description     : hidden in the barren wastelands of Tatooine, beyond the hills south of Mos Eisley, is a secret fortress town constructed as an academy-ground for hopeful mercenaries working for the Hutts. Long deserted when Imperial authorities first came to take the spoils of war, the town now serves as a battle arena for hardened warriors from across the Outer Rim. The walls ring out with the sounds of weaponry and death and only the most attuned fighters will champion the Meanstreets.

Oh, and by the way, there's also the Falcon!

Notes		    : ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED FOR JEDI OUTCAST, THIS IS MY VERY FIRST MAP AND IT TOOK ME LONGER THAN I THOUGHT TO BUILD. I HAD TO LEARN THE SOFTWARE FROM SCRATCH BUT IT WAS AS MUCH FUN AS IT WAS HARD WORK, BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME I COULD GO BEHIND THE GAMES WE LOVE TO PLAY AND GET A REAL LOOK AT HOW THEY'RE CREATED. I TRIED TO IMAGINE WHAT I COULD BUILD THAT HADN'T BEEN SEEN BEFORE. THE TRUTH IS, THERE'S NOTHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE AGAIN AND AGAIN CONCERNING STAR WARS. SO I JUST BUILT WHAT I LOVED BEST... LUKE'S HOMEWORLD, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN... AND THE FASTEST HUNK OF JUNK IN THE GALAXY. I HAD TO BUILD THE MILLENNIUM FALCON BECAUSE THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY I'D EVER GET A PROPER LOOK ROUND IT. I'M PROUD AS **** OF IT AND I HOPE YOU LOT LIKE IT AS MUCH AS I DO. ANY FEEDBACK WOULD REALLY BE WELCOME AND HEY, IF YOU EMPLOY LEVEL DESIGNERS... I REALLY WANT TO TALK...

================================================================

I BUILT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IN THE MAP COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH EXCEPT FOR SOME CONSOLES IN THE TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER AND A BENDY PIPE. NOW EMPLOY ME! (PLEASE)

================================================================

Thanks to           : of course Mr. George Lucas, also Jens "Pakmannen " Ljungblad for his early advice on such things as the elusive sky - and for being the only one to answer my message in a bottle! - and especially my kids, young Adam & Amy for their priceless beta testing. Not forgetting Roba (Mayko) Fett. Also Scott Emmett for suggesting the gun emplacement.

Plus everyone else who made this possible, including the people who developed the software - and Di for putting up with it!

Of course this readme would not be complete without thanking the guys at [MAD]MURDERERS AND DREAMERS for their brilliant support when it was really needed. For their initial testing of the Meanstreets, and their suggestions. Special thanks to [MAD]Cable for hosting this map in the first place! And turning me [MAD] in the end!

AND AN EXTRA SPECIAL HAT-OFF TO [MAD]Pharen, FOR HIS EXCELLENT MUSIC TRACK CRAFTED SOLELY FOR THE MEANSTREETS... AND ALL HIS HELP.

"This 'droid might be useful!!"
