STAR WARS™: X-Wing Special Edition

I thought, what the heck, I'll peruse GOG as I'm logging off from work and I see Lucas games. Thank you GOG. I loved X-Wing and Tie Fighter way too much back in the day. Sure the graphics are very antiquated in these games, so what. As far as a space simulator goes, these games are stellar, all puns intended. I hope you get the add ons as well. Keep adding those games guys.

This is a must-have for any Star Wars or space sim fan. This is pretty much one of the best space simulators of it's time. The technical depth is massive in both this and it's Tie Fighter sequel. As soon as I heard this would be available, I sat and waited breathlessly. The originals are difficult to get going correctly on a Win7 machine, so this is an awesome job they've done. I've already played through the first 6 missions this morning! Even though it's visuals are dated, the control scheme is so massively entertaining that you will forget it as soon as you get wrapped up in it. Once you're in, you simply will want to play mission after mission. Managing your energy and shield distribution is the key to success...and the wonderful amount of control options really brings the Star Wars world to life once you add in the fantastic setting and models. Well beyond it's time, this is a classic. Get both this and the arguably much better Tie Fighter and you will be one happy camper! Great job, GOG! Thank you!

This game is why I still have a functioning Windows 98 machine (have the original floppies and the CD version). I've been playing it since it first came out and it is still my favorite space sim.

This is where true love of PC gaming started for me. The nostalgia I feel for even just looking at the screenshots is overwhelming. A million thank yous to anyone and everyone involved in giving this amazing title new life. Between this and TIE Fighter, I know where many hours are going to be spent very shortly.

this is on everyone's mind is the Online severs working? with this version or at least make a private sever?
