OHHHHHHHH YEAH! X-Wing/TIE Fighter on GoG!

By Hexis, in X-Wing

nice, got to check it out.

This will be a day long remembered!

So this is the original version and the remake done in the XvT engine?

Is it a remake? Can it be played with mouse? in 64 bit windows?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Now I need to go buy myself a joystick!!!! Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

GOG takes old games and embeds them in an emulator. It should work on all new operating systems and computers. It can be played with a mouse (as was the original) but really the only proper eay is a joystick. A programmable joystick will bring the enjoyment to a whole new level.

I dunno, I've played them with both. I generally preferred the mouse for pinpoint max range shooting.

Time to break out the space beer.

I checked a few weeks ago this is great news.

For those who don't know... Here is your chance TO BE Maarek Stele or Keyan Farlander!!! Can you live up to their legacy?

I'm interested only if the expansions are available for X-Wing. I've played through the TIE Fighter expansions but never had a chance to play Imperial pursuit and B-Wing.

Sorry guys, my builder will never get updated after tomorrow.

Thanks for posting this! I've been thinking that it would be nice to have the game playable on a modern computer (still have my original Tie Fighter game box with its floppy disks) and this is basically a dream come true!

If you grab X-Wing or Tie Fighter, I'm sure there are graphic upgrades available. Just as the heroes at X-Wing Alliance Upgrade site have done with XWA .. some fellas would surely have re-textured the models to make it sexier than before.

I'm excited for both games. I still play XWA and loved X-Wing and Tie Fighter when I was younger!

HUZZAH for new .. ummm .. old games.

Anyone know where to get a joystick that isn't nonsensically priced?

Those games are the only reason I ever really got into Star Wars.

Wooooooohooooooooooooo! finally I've been waiting for this for many years. This is the best news I've had in a decade!

Wow, I was just coming here to post this. So, since that work is done, I can spend my time looking for a HOTAS rig on Amazon

I'm sad there's no XWA there. I never got to play these two.

On the bright side, now I get to play these.

And this has inspired me to make some lists with Keyan and Maarek in them... :D

Fun fact, although it's been way too long now since I've done it. But there was a way to directly import most of the updated X-Wing Alliance models into TIE Fighter and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. Somewhere burned on a CD I have all my old modding stuff. I'll have to try to find it.

I didn't get to play these in their time, I only played Rogue Squadron. I would play the hell out of an HD remake of that game.
