STAR WARS™: X-Wing Special Edition

as a player of the old school, i remember when i rushed for half an hour to the store, buyed it and went back home to install all the floppy disks :-) but then the moment came and i can tell you, i enyoded every single minute that i played the game, even as all the follow ups. If one day would come they made a remake of it in this time graphics etc.. i will be there to buy the story all over again. you know, i still own the original disks still over my place as i just think about it. Have a lot of fun playing and think so, may the force be with you........

I absolutely love this game and all the x wing series games. they should seriously remake it. I only give it 4 stars because x-wing98 for some reason keeps crashing on me from time to time. mostly when missions are about to be complete. I'm running windows 10 and with the 3d setting of the video on the game it crashes when it enters any mission. I put it on the lowest one and it crashes every once in a while. Is anyone else having a problem with that?

I love the game, but it does not run very stable... it is anoying to be sent back to Windows just in THAT moment!!!

X-wing. It's the classic game and it works well. I suggest reading the included materials and guides to help get you started. The package includes several versions of the game. Each version has all the expansion packs. The CD version is likely the best, however I find the 98 version to be a little simpler to use. Don't expect to beat this game in one sitting. It is a long long game. Warning the pilot proving ground missions are boring and repetitive. Overall a great complex game. You have full control of the starfighters unlike many other star wars games. You control speed, shields, weapons, wingmen, and focus to accomplish the mission objective in any way you can. There are also many bonus medals if you are able to take out large imperial starships. To do well you need a joystick, great aim, and a lot of patience. The training missions are not super helpful, but with a willingness to try you will eventually do well. I would recommend starting with the Tie Fighter game's training missions as they give much more instruction.

Though not as varied in ships as its successor, Tie Fighter, X-Wing remains one of the greatest games to ever hit the PC. And in addition to that, the game ties in beautifully with the original trilogy story-line.
