X-Wing and TIE Fighter Return
![WORF](http://firstones.net/forums/uploads/userpics/855/nJQSO6CR70YLZ.png)
in Zocalo v2.0
Looks like GoG.com will be re-releasing X-Wing and TIE Fighter, along with a few other old Lucasarts games.
Tomorrow

It's going to be so good playing these again and hopefully they'll sell well enough to show there's still interest in Star Wars space sims. I suspect we'll be seeing more Lucasarts games being rereleased as well.

Favorite ship from that game was the B-Wing though...

Xwing vs TIE Fighter
Xwing Alliance
Dark Forces
Galactic Battlegrounds
Knights of the Old Republic 2
Battlefront 2
Apparently there are more coming tomorrow and next week as well.
Those games had some really tough missions.
DofM...Sounds like you are refering to same level in X-Wing as SD...and yes it very much was a resource management puzzle.

You know what I'd like? Racer. That was fun. And it'd be nice to play the later X-Wing games. Or, you know, a new space-combat game. Those are popular around here, right?
I've got no doubt we'll see Racer sooner or later. Probably sooner as they don't have many Star Wars games left to rerelease
I'd thought it'd be a fun 50th Anniversary release to make a 3D remake of 25th and JR. You could probably get them on the full spectrum of devices, from phones to consoles to desktops. Maybe do something like the Arkham games, where there were unlockable skins, so you could swap models of the characters and ships and play in the TOS or movie-era. Heck, while I'm writing computer game fan fic, let's salvage the audio recorded for "Secret of Vulcan Fury" and throw that in, too. But just being able to play it at all is good, too.
ETA: Having played it, it's almost everything I hoped, aside from some slight vertical stretching, and the fact that since it's emulating the DOS version and not the Mac version, there are a couple small differences. Namely, I was used to saving the game whenever I damned well pleased, and the old Mac MIDI instruments were better (okay, "different") than their DOS equivalents, so all the music sounds off to me. I guess I still have a reason to try and beat SheepShaver into submission one of these days, after all.
iDos 2 for iOS or Dosbox Turbo seem like the best options.
It seems likely we'll see the rest of the Star Trek games published by Interplay (can't wait for Klingon Academy) but it would be nice if GoG can bring back games from other publishers too
