STAR WARS™: X-Wing Alliance™

I'm happy to report that this game works perfectly on Win7 x64! I've had this game on CD since it came out, but it's been years since I've been able to play it. Yes there have been some fan patches to make it playable but psh. This GoG version is amazing! I haven't tried LAN multiplayer yet (still trying to talk my daughter into playing with me) but I've done several campaign missions and everything is just like I remember. Clean fonts, no flashing textures or funky HUD issues, it's just like being back in the 90's again. Wonderful! It's a difficult game, even on Easy. You have to pay attention and sometimes you're put into no-win situations where you're just supposed to run away. You start out working with a lot of cargo, scanning it, shooting it, picking it up, delivering it, but pretty soon the Imperials start showing up and it's all out war. Tie Fighters, Tie Bombers, Star Destroyers, and Gunboats everywhere. Oh yeah, good times, good times. This is the one to get, the definitive X-Wing experience.

AAAh XWA... one of my first PC Games brought back to life. Im playing on a 90" projector and I'm loving it. Add a bit of a mod and its playing at 1920 x 1080 in widescreen. Its like Im flying the thing for real... I'm using an Xbox360 controller for windows, and its easy to map the buttons you need, but could still use another 10 buttons! A great game, a good story, excellent gameplay and controls.

This gem was one of the titles that awoke my love for Star Wars back in the nineties. It is fun, deep, challenging and tells a great story aronud the galactic civil war. It is, in my personal opinion, one of the best Space battle simulators to this day. And far better than rouge quadron or the space-battle part of Battlefront 2.

Great Game!!! Complete and still entertaining if a little bit dated. My old copy of the game hasn't run for years I'm so happy to have found it again. If your looking for an excellent Space Sim for Star Wars, Look No Further. In this day and age of Monetization it's good to know GOG is around to provide Great Games, DRM Free just like the Good Old Days.

For any fans of X-Wing and TIE Fighter this is a must have. Basically follows the same format with improved graphics, a more engaging story and some new elements. I would give it 5 stars but for some glitches, especially in the final Death Star mission which I had to replay multiple times due to issues with the ship getting stuck in areas I couldn't get out of, events not triggering as they should, and several times the core was simply indestructible. Replaying some of the missions where the real challenge where you could fail multiple times and have to go through everything again from the beginning can be tedious as well.
