Not sure if this has been stated yet or not, but the JA demo is currently available on America Online.

The address (not sure if you must be an AOL member or not) is below.

my guess is that they are going to release it tonight and sent it out to some sites for them to upload... if this is true then the links should all pop-up soon.

Ok, jokes aside, I don't think AOL would do a hoax. This is it. This is the big day, guys. The second greatest thing to the actual JK:JA release.

A little something humorous to tide you over while you wait for the file to finish (from Jahelp.txt):


TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS FOR JEDI ACADEMY...

WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR JEDI ACADEMY?: The minimum requirements for Jedi Academy are a 386 DX33 or higher, VGA display, Windows 3.1 and a .WRI viewer (such as Windows Write).
...
GRAPHICS ARE DISTORTED: Jedi Academy requires Windows 3.1 to have at least a 256 color VGA display. If you are using below 256 colors or are using an EGA or CGA setting, change it to VGA. For more help on this, consult the Windows 3.1 manual on display settings.

MIDI WON'T PLAY: You need a sound card, Media Player (v1.10 or above), and Windows 3.1 to hear the MIDI file. If you do not have Media Player or if you don't have a sound card, you can't hear the MIDI file.

If you should have any other questions or trouble operating this newsletter, e-mail JediAcdmy on America Online.

If you have anything you'd like to contribute to Jedi Academy, please e-mail JediAcdmy on America Online.

Excellent! :D

I'm suprised at AOL... since when do they host downloads? (It's even fast, and no lines. I'm going at 125k/s.)

:) Only 15 min, 30 sec to go!

Oh god, this is demo is so awesome!

If you choose two lightsabers, you can press the saberstyle button and put away the second blade and fight with one saber with the blue stance. The same applies for double-bladed, except then it's yellow stance.
