It is the dawn of the rebellion.

The Old Republic is gone. The Senate has been abolished. The Jedi Knights have been exterminated. Now the Emperor seeks to crush the last remaining opposition. Against the overwhelming might of the Empire stands a small but growing Rebel Alliance.

Scattered resistance groups are uniting and what is needed most now are Starfighter pilots. Will you join their struggle to end this tyranny and become a hero of the Rebellion?

Suit up, climb aboard your own personal X-Wing and prepare to fight for your life. Out-maneuver the evil Empire's TIE fighters and Star Destroyers and blast them into oblivion.

  • Fly over 120 deep space and Death Star surface missions against the Empire!
  • Combat training simulates historical encounters with Imperial forces.

Still Holds Up!

One of my favorites of all time. They just don't make them like this anymore. My three boys (ages 7,9, and 11) are all in love with it and have been jockeying for computer time with it since I installed it. It still holds up.

Not the 'best' version

Fantastic to see this finally here! I played X-Wing so much it pretty much was my child hood. However, I was about to buy this when I noticed as some have said this is not the collectors edition and so lacks being the 'best' version of this game. Tie Fighter is also the same. Due to this I am still using my own copy on CD and Dos Box. I really DO hope GOG fixes this as there is no real reason to not have the 'best' version of this game on here. I have decided to mention this here along with what others have said in the hope that this issue will get noticed and the game updated. I would then happily pay for a GOG copy! :)

Failed to launch on Windows 7 64 bit

Well, I mainly bought this for the 98 release. Could never launch it, just kept crashing. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. Considering how easy it is to "acquire" these games from other sources, these games should just work with no real effort needed beyond launching and playing. Currently waiting on support to tell me something.

Love at first jump to lightspeed

Screaming through space, gripping your stick with a white-knuckled hand, the sweat is pouring down your forehead. Your shields are not in the best condition and your time to complete the objective is running out. One more run and glory is yours. One more Tour of Duty and you can retire to a comfortable living. But first you have to get past these TIE Interceptors. Are you tough enough to be a regular pilot in a ragtag army on the verge of collapse? Do you have the guts to punch in, knowing that it's only gonna get tougher from here on out? Is the force with you, or do you just not believe in that old-era mumbo-jumbo? Well what are you waiting for, pilot? REGISTER AND GET OUT THERE!
