element1108 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Not sure how many of you guys paid any attention to LA back in their prime in the early to mid 90's, but I have noticed (and it's not really new) a bunch of their classic Dark Forces games available on STEAM. Super cool for nostalgia, but it begs the question WHERE IS the XWING/TIE FIGHTER series?? These games are not only great for nostaliga, but they were the highlight of space combat simulation games back in the day. (I'm aware the physics of these games did not represent true space "flight"...they were a WWII type of dogfight set in space...which is bad ass in my opinion). ;) Curious to know if STEAM will release it and if not WHY they haven't as of yet. Are they holding off for a new annoucement, or are there legal issues perhaps with Laurance Holland and Totally Games who were involved with the development? Impossible to answer obviously, but curious to know what some of you think.
vtsgoose1606687932 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 still have xwing collectors edition on cd:). Doesn't run on vista though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://virtual-aerobatic-group.nl/
Steel Jaw Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Loved Tie Fighter, played it endlessly in the day. Dont think it would run on my W7 though.

PeterP Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Something to bridge the time gap if you are waiting for a steam release. It's not the original but it has a very similar touch and feel and is very entertaining and challenging too! Both games are freeware: Battle of Yavin Download Battle of Endor Download .
