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!
Carmageddon is probably the best racing game of all time. Seriously...practically limitless freedom, incredible physics that still makes your jaw drop today, and some of the most creative gameplay of any racing title. It set the standards, and after a quick playthrough once more of the GOG release, I can say that it still stands up to the test of time. Granted, I play in a special hi-rez setup, but seeing this on GOG just means that a true classic has finally been given it's just due. If you have never played Carmageddon, stop what you're doing right now and get it! You will not be disappointed! And here's to Carmageddon: Reincarnation! I can't wait to play! Big love to the Stainless guys! You are the bomb!
