STAR WARS™: X-Wing Special Edition

First of all I'd like to say that the 2000 char limit on these reviews are a pain. Sometimes there's just too much to say and some reviews need space so it can be a good read. X-Wing is a great game. I so many ways and on so many levels it's hard to describe in short quick sentences. That's why I'm pointing you to my review on the forums: http://www.gog.com/forum/star_wars_xwing_special_edition/extended_xwing_review

I just played some missions. Old reflexes come back to me, amazingly after 10 years not playing again this title ; This is definitively a very good GOG games, it works smoothly on windows 8.1 modern systems, i have the same feelings than in the 1990's. Thank you very muck the team of GOG games for such a truly must have game, probably one of the best of Lucasarts ! But beware it is very hard to play, you need to keep your energies well balanced in a fighter, you need to think on a tactical and a strategic way ! GOG games had the very good idea to include the strategy guide, which is a must have for this game (i had already the paper version). So, 100 % hit from GOG games, no, 200 % for a ridiculous price and DRM free ....

I played the hell out of this game on my 386 Tandy. At the time it couldn't handle Tie Fighter(which I admit is slightly superior) so I was stuck as a part of the rebellion. I was only a kid, I didn't know how amazing this game was. I just knew it was fun as hell. Hey shouldn't all games be this good right? Anyways I look back on this game fondly. Can't wait to recreate my wingmen again like Porkins, Wedge, and a couple of my best friends. Don't forget to make copies of all your pilots and restore them if they die. There is nothing worse than starting back over as cadets.

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.

This is one of the best. Thanks for bringing this back GOG
