Summary: An all time classic
Review: A wonderful collection of the original X-wing game, with the two add on campaigns. Sure the graphics are old, as are the sound effects, and some of the missions are nigh on impossible, but it is still hard to beat for the re-play value. For any who enjoyed the original, or would like to see where the more modern versions of the same game come from, this is one to get.

Summary: Still the best space combat game!
Review: I bought the orginal XWing back in 1993 as one of the first games I got for my then state of the art 486. I was blown away by the game dynamics. Compared to most games of the time the 3D universe was incredible. Especially when compared to the SNES that I had just upgraded from. The developers had elected to use 3d polygons (now the standard) to build the in game graphics and this worked far better than its main rival at the time: Wing Commander and its 2D bitmap graphics. (Wing Commander was once regarded as the standard in space sims but is virtually unplayable now because of the awful graphics and boring AI/combat. I know I've tried it recently!)Playing XWing now (the updated version included in the collectors CD) it still feels fresh which is an amazing achievment when you consider it is now 10 years old. It may not have cutting edge graphics but they work well enough and still manage to give a smooth and convincing 3D feel. The combat and power management gameplay is still engrossing even by modern standards. To be honest the gameplay stil knocks some of the more recent Lucasarts console based space combat games into touch. The updated in game orchestral music score is lifted straight from the movies and is a vast improvement on the 1993 Xwing's midi version. This is one of the best and evocative uses of the original John Williams score in any of the Star Wars games. (Much better than in Jedi Knight 2!) You really live the Star Wars experience in this game. (Not only that but you can put the CDRom into a CD player and get the music in full on stereo Hi Fi quality.) If there is one critisism it is the difficulty. Tie Fighter the sequel game (also on the CD) is much more fondly remembered than Xwing but that may have something to do with the fact it is a much easier game to get into (plus the fact you are the bad guy which is more fun). XWing is hard with a capital H but I think that makes it so much more satifying when you get that mission complete message. If you like Star Wars, especially the space combat bits towards the end of Return of the Jedi and you have an older PC (even a 486!!!) this is an ideal purchase.

Review: I never expected to find these again! While X-Wing is fun and all, well, let's face it, playing the bad guy is always so much better. Nothing but nothing beats playing as a TIE fighter, the flimsiest starfighter from any movie, relying on only your speed to destroy all those who would stand against the will of the Emperor. Or better yet, a TIW interceptor, with those 2 extra cannons! Basically, this game rocks. Now I anxiously await a new copy of TIE Fighter to show up in my mailbox. Yay!

Review: I remember playing this when I was twelve back in '96 and I really dug it. Not 'till a few months ago did I start playing it again (mainly for nostalgic reasons. Being a Star wars fan from day one I was naturally interested in this game and I was very pleased with the results. Sure, the graphics are seriously outdated but this game is so good that it doesn't even matter to me. Learning all the command keys (Enter hyperspace, etc., etc.) was slightly confusing at first, but I quickly learned how to memorize all of the command keys without looking at the manual every few minutes. A lot of the missions are challenging in which you are required to act very quickly in order to save a ship in order for the mission to be succesful. Some of the missions are damn near impossible. I especially like games in which the player is required to constantly be on the edge of his or her seat. I find this to be (for the most part), a fast paced game requiring quick wits and even faster reflexes. The added missions as well as the addition of the B-wing fighter are also very worthwhile bonuses to this gem. This is a must for any Star wars enthusiast like myself.

Review: I remember playing TIE fighter for hours when in college. Hands down one of the best games available for any computer. The missions are designed to be difficult enough to make you try multiple times, yet I never felt the need to throw the computer out the window because I just couldn't beat that one superhard level. For Star Wars fans, many familiar characters appear in the game such as Mon Mothma and Darth Vader (when you are a good enough pilot, you are Vader's wing man for a mission). One of those games I play and replay. Easy to get wrapped up in and really feel like you are there. There is a reason why many critics consider this one of the best PC games ever. I think I'll get off the net and play it right now!
