I probably played dozens upon dozens of hours of this game on the N64. I know how fluid the flight mechanics are supposed to feel, and how it's supposed to perform. At the moment, upon fresh install, the loading screens take an inordinate amount of time to get through. The opening scroll for the first mission is completely unskippable, and takes more time to load after it finishes, suspending the X-Wings in the air while it does so. I tried to figure out which control scheme works the best, and at the moment none of them do. Gamepads are unusable, a joystick/keyboard combination is incredibly jaunted with no fluidity to the controls whatsoever. Mouse/keyboard also has no fluidity either. you cannot move on both axis at a time, only one or the other. And keyboard alone, I encountered a bug/glitch where at some point your X-Wing stops turning entirely and just floats straight into the air. As far as I'm concerned, this game is currently unplayable. Unless there is a fix of some kind, I cannot recommend this game in its current state. 2 stars on nostalgia alone.
