Summary: WOW!! THESE ARE GOOD GAMES!
Review: A long time ago I bought X-Wing (the original, not the collecters version) and considering I was only 7(or less, I can't remember exactly) it was too challenging for me but I found it was still very fun. A little afterward I bought Tie Fighter (again not collecters), I found this to be a little easier then X-Wing but still just as fun. I've seen the collecters versions for both and they have signifigantly improved in many areas, not the least of which is graphics. I still play Tie Fighter and would also still play X-Wing if it weren't for the fact that I hard installed it on my old computer(which I no longer own) that we dont have anymore and I no longer have the disk. Overall I have to say that they both are amazing games. I've never played the third game but even if it's really bad, paired with the two other games...... I have to say it's definatly worth it to buy this product.

Summary: Oh...My...God
Review: Concerning X-wing

I remember getting this game for my birthday way the heck back in 1992. The missions were so fun and CHALLENGING now this is a word that most people in the computer game industry seem to have forgotten. The appeal of this game for me was that because it took so much time to complete(I think I managed it in 2 years) the victories were all the swetter when you won.

Nowadays you can just type in a cheat code and skip to the end well keep in mind that such a thing did not exist on the old DOS machines.

X-wing was the first but later on Lucas-arts improved the engine by adding TIE FIGHTER (that's right a game where you play on the side of the Imperials) this also provides some very challenging missions but can be beaten with much more ease that anyone could ever beat x-wing. Still fun, just as enjoyable

Now X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter brings us relatively up to date combing elements of both games what you have is a game that is more useful for multiplayer than single player missions. This is finally where the age of this type of game in this type of format began to show. Most of the missions in this game were just repeats of the same missions in X-Wing and Tie Fighter. Although the graphics are better and there are one or two missions that provide a great level of enjoyment.

If any of you old dogs out there are still using 98 or 95 pick up a piece of gaming history and get a copy of this package.

Summary: X Wing Collector Series
Review: Fun game, but I only received half of it. It includes 2 CD-ROMs, and I only got the 1st CD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: I can't believe how fun an old game can be. Sure, the graphics are a little dated, but the gameplay is unbeatable. This Collecter Series is a really great deal that saves a lot of money because if you only buy one of the games you'll end up wanting to play the others too. So buy it today!

Summary: Many a college year wasted...sigh...
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!

Summary: Two Classics in One Box!
Review: I've bought the X-Wing collector's CD and also the TIE Fighter one. I've beat the Tours of Duty two or three times on both games. And now I bought this a few months back. Man these two games are simply some of the best stuff to ever be released onto the PC. Replayability is high. I've logged so many hours and shot down so many spacecraft over the years, and I still can't get enough(even my joystick finally broke). I don't care if there are at least a hundred missions on each CD, I still want more!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tie Fighter
Review: This is a good game. Tie Fighter, that is. This game is good enough to justify buying the three. It is fun, with the ability to play one quick level or many on end. X-Wing is really too old and doesn't hold up to Tie Fighter, and XvT is really pointless; If you're going to get it, go ahead and get the real thing.
