For those that played the original X-Wing or Tie Fighter

These two games pre-date the x-wing versus tie fighter, but if you played them, here's some memories

Those are two great games that I love to death. I spent many, many hours playing those two games.

Wow! I played those games too, but I didn't remember about Thrawn being in Star Wars that long ago. And that art of Coruscant looks exactly like what we see in the movies. Amazing how things turn out in Star Wars.

I didn't spend much time playing x-wing, but i spent days and days playing Tie Fighter, I loved that game. I remember it had the cool info page too on all the different ships you could imagine.

Those were some of my favorites, I got all excited when they released the Imperial Pursuit and BWing expansions for Xwing. There was actually an updated version for both X-Wing and Tie Fighter, they were ported into the X-Wing vs. Tie engine and made to run on Windows 95. Theres a fix out there somewhere to make this newer version run on XP, I played through all the campaigns again that way just last year.

This makes me want to bring out the 64 for rogue squadron. Yea I know, I'm not as old school as you guys are.

That game was good, but it sucks in comparison to our old space flight sims.

Do you still need the original install disks for that to work?

Original install floppies were for dos, if you still have those you'll need a dos emulator to run them on xp. The version I was talking about was a collectors edition with all of the games together in a pack of cd's and running on the XWingvsTie engine. Graphics and ship models are better than the old dos ones. The store of the lucasarts website does not have them anymore. The only way to get them would be through a torrent.

I'm not the one to ask about dos emulation if you want to go that route. I never completely figured out dos even when it was the only thing I used, and that was 15 years ago.
