GOG to start selling LucasArts games

Thanks jd....that is the other thing I always read was how difficult the missions could be.  I already suck at most flight sims, if the difficulty is really tense, might be another factor.

I'll likely pickup anyway today since I would like to rekindle the Star Wars spirit.  So much more could have been done with this movie franchise, just amazing how much untapped potentional could have been.

So I ended up purchasing Tie Fighter this morning so I eliminate the rebel scum....have to admit I am pretty impressed for an older game.  Of course the graphics are not modern day, but I have to say they are totally reasonable and workable in this sim, even with the low resolution.  The cockpit and functionality is very well laid out and makes it easy for me to track targets as they are in front and behind me.  The targeting computer is pretty cool and I like the fact there are preset keys that allow you to auto match the speed of your enemy.  I also really like the briefings and intros to the mission.  It does amaze me how nobody takes a great core concept like this game (and many other older games) and just build upon it versus trying to reinvent the wheel.  So far I have only used my xbox controller and actually worked reasonably well, although I may move to the joystick so I can get more use out of the buttons versus reaching for the keyboard all the time.

I have only completed the tutorial levels and some training missions so far, but so far totally worth the $9....I feel the force also moving me towards the purchase of x-wing so I can bring freedom to the galaxy as well:)

All of these are on my radar now. SW Rebellion? I played that a lot back in the day. Loved playing the Empire and bringing the Rebellion to its knees! Especially loved it when I built my first Death Star and destroyed some Rebel villain planet. Boy did the rest of them not like that. :)

I'd like to play Rebellion as well...never had a chance in the past.  Continuing to enjoy Tie Fighter, I think what makes it fun is the Star Wars theme music playing in the background...just gets the blood going!

Absolutely. All of these old great games deserve to be 'remastered', which is a current trend. I'm all for it. You're right, they don't need to change anything within the game, only how it's wrapped. Better graphics.

I'd like to play Rebellion as well

+1.

Well ,didn't take me long to pick up xwing as well now:)

Bought X-wing on Friday.  Overall, I am impressed that the gameplay still stands-up after all these years.  Actually, I am finding some of the historical missions incredibly hard to beat.

[Hot lead and dirty talk!]

I wish developers would see that with the success of GoG we don't need million dollar graphics fidelity and 100% accurate realism in order to make a fun game.  I've yet to find a flight sim that matches Red Baron or Aces of the Pacific/Over Europe as far as enjoyability.  There is such a deep divide between arcade and simulation today.  There is no middle anymore.

I'm saying this is my best Rocky Balboa voice, " Absolutely."

Perhaps. My disc died but I'd like a legit copy.
