In my defense:

1.) I slept since our discussion yesterday.

2.) The email alert only arrived this morning and was dated for today.

3.) I have no defense.  :-[

Anyone else having problems getting a resolution change to take in X-Wing Alliance? I change it from 800x600 to anything and it does not seem to want to stick. I'm pretty sure I'm using valid resolutions for my vid card and monitor.

I think you might have display issues with this game.  There have been some workarounds online for it, but I haven't tried or played this game in a long time.

Is this a real reason to rejoice or can we not really go home again because the games are just too dated?

STAR WARS™ Empire at War isn't that old.

Star Wars Rebellion will be a welcome addition to my netbooks collection of games... O0

There aren't a whole lot of games like Rebellion -character driven, licensed 4X.  BotF comes closest, I suppose, with the different races substituting for characters, but it still isn't the same.

I'm going to say this is a real reason to rejoice, because even if (some of) the games are just too dated, it's a sign Lucasgames intends to start back up making games again.

In other words, expect a modern X-wing and/or Tie game to be earning all the money sometime in the next few years. Maybe even modern upgrades or sequels to their adventure games or flight sims. MAYBE EVEN A MODERN PC VERSION OF GLADIUS!  :D

I'm tempted to get Rebellion. But I remember when I played through it before, as the Empire. It took me dozens of hours to finish the one game and when I was done I felt spent like Star after a weekend with a Miami Beach GILF. It requires a huge investment of time and while I found it rewarding at the time, I'm not sure I'd get the same amount of enjoyment now out of it. Hell, the last time I played it I didn't have kids, so I had nothing BUT time on my hands back then. Now, I've got a ton of Steam games I won't ever play.

(sigh) who the hell am I kidding, I'm sure I'll be getting it.

After seeing Star Wars Rebellion finally showed up on GOG, I insta-purchased.  O0

The 3D fleet battles never looked very good, but it's strength has always been in the unique grand strategy part.  :)

Didn't know there were so many add-ons for the SWOTL, wonder if GOG would be able to publish them all (hopefully in one package)

If you mean that screenshot upthread, those aren't add ons. SWOTL was an upgrade and repurposing of the engine from "Their Finest Hour" (sort of like "Bombing the Third Reich" from "Eagle Day"). I can't recall where the Pacific game came in that sequence, but it was also a standalone version of the engine.

If you mean something else, apparently I've slept since then. ;) (Swotl has add-ons? Why did I not remember that? Or ever get them?!)

If you're satirizing the modern propensity for add-ons compared to how things went back then...  >:D

I remember how I loved this game back in the day.

Though I'm saddened to see how much the game has aged since its release. :(
