I just reinstalled TIE Fighter and X-Wing.
X-Wing was the flight-sim shooter of it’s time. In space. In Star Wars. It was great.
And then came TIE-Fighter. And it was better. If it wasn’t for the problems trying to get a Dos game to run on XP (Which demands an joystick or won’t start, I have the Re-Relase for Win98) I would play it far more often.
Oh, and LucasArts screwing fans ?
LucasArts was for a long time a top game producer with great titles.
Monkey Island, Sam & Max, TIE Fighter & X-Wing, Indy, etc.
They killed all that. They even had a sequel to Sam & Max in development and canceled it. The latest Indy title was an uninspired Tomb Raider Clone.
KotOR 1 to KotOR 2 was a massive drop in quality because it was rushed.
The Star Wars Galaxy debacle(s) are pretty much the course material for “How not to maintain an MMORPG”
The expansion to Empire at War had a month long wait time to get some very annoying bugs fixed (Then I stopped caring, so there maybe a patch by now)
They have “Screw over the fans” as a business philosophy. And seem to include that in Star Wars licenses.
