Description
Includes STAR WARS™: X-Wing and all Tour of Duty expansions: Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing in all three versions: 1993 (DOS), 1994 (DOS CD), and 1998 (Windows) versions!

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.

No Hardware Acceleration

Would have been five stars (one of the best games ever!), but hardware acceleration doesn't work, and when the battles get furious the framerate drops. Almost wrecked my hardware trying to apply a hardware acceleration fix; I highly advise against trying to get hardware acceleration going on your own: not worth destroying your hardware... (Ditto on all this for Tie Fighter)

Awesome sauce!

What a Classic add to GOG. The X-wing games are some of the best games on PC of there genera. Here's to hoping that X-Wing vs Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance make the cut soon too!

This is actually NOT the Mac version

Its a DOS port. While fun the graphics are pretty bad since its basically in emulation. Don't buy this unless you have money to spend for nostalgia reasons. Still waiting for a proper Mac port.

2nd best space sim

Just as the title says. FYI, the best space sim ever is its successor, Tie Fighter. Buy both - and a joystick.
