X-Wing and Tie Fighter.
« on: October 28, 2014, 08:24:52 AM »
If anyone is interested it appears that the site gog.com has released X-Wing and Tie Fighter classic games. I don't have all the details, but will update this post when I do.

Yeah the good ol days of installing original X-Wing from a whole bunch of floppy disks [!] and launching from DOS command line on a 'state of the art' [LOL] 32 bit 16 Mhz i386 with a whopping 4MB RAM [wow], 16 bit colour VGA graphics and SoundBlaster oooh LOLOL...

...but hey it was STAR WARS and we were flying an XWING!!! *nerdgasm* what could possibly be better? Well except for the nerf poodo escort missions...I hate escort missions..argh...

Soooooooooo much FUN those games were and so cool that now a whole new generation of gamers will get the chance to discover how brilliant they were.

I hope they'll get X-Wing versus TIE Fighter too eventually...that game was also epic.
To DREAM the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. To FIGHT the unbeatable foe. To BEAR with unbearable sorrow. To RUN where the brave dare not go. To RIGHT the unrightable wrong. To LOVE, PURE AND CHASTE, FROM AFAR [-sigh-]. To TRY, when your arms are too weary; to REACH the unreachable Star!... This is my Quest; To follow that Star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far...

I do miss the old days of DOS. Also the the Tie Defender is broken and amazing. I do hope that they can get X-Wing VS Tie Fighter.
