No one can really deny that the Rebellion picked the tough road when they decided to rise up against the numbers and might of the Empire, unless of course you argue that good always triumphs over evil. Unfortunately, unless you’re Luke Skywalker himself, X-Wing will quickly prove this to be a rare case. It’s one of the hardest flight combat sims ever made, and it’s filled with odds and situations that will make you wonder more than once if you’re playing for the wrong team (and should the call of the Dark Side become too strong, you can even defect, by purchasing TIE Fighter).
Brandon at Skewed and Reviewed has posted an opinion piece on the six best Star Wars games of all times. He covers a range of games from the full run of Star Wars games.
"A long time ago, in a game industry far, far away, there was a genre called “space combat sims.” In this far flung, possibly mythical time, known today as “The Nineties,” a wide range of games put players in the seat of a highly advanced starfighter, and sent them out to blast their enemies into the cold embrace of the void. While the genre contains great titles like Wing Commander, Freespace, and Colony Wars, perhaps the most fondly remembered space combat games are Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: TIE Fighter."
If you’re part of the old guard of Star Wars gamers and played in the early 90s, you probably remember the days of highly pixelated combat in games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Empire at War, and Rebel Assault.
This game was so damn fun! TIE Fighter was even better!!
