I played this in the 90's, and playing it again all these years later is even better. Its so much fun, makes you feel like a starfighter for real.

Remember to save a backup of your character manually to avoid being captured by the empire and losing all of your points. Do it after every mission, and also verify game files every time too or the game might crash.

As good as I remember it.

Even has the Xmas easter egg in the game type interface.

The original edition was first PC game I ever played, and the de facto reason I became a PC gamer in the first place. It introduced me to the joystick and Star Wars at the same time. It is just wild fun, dog-fighting against The Empire in various scenarios with a variety of mission objectives to keep things interesting.

This game is rudimentary by today's standards even with the efforts to update it, but modern games struggle to capture the feel that this one managed seemingly effortlessly. At times, X-Wing can be more exhilarating than Squadrons.
