To refute the solipsist or the metaphysical idealist all that you have to do is take him out and throw a rock at his head: if he ducks he's a liar." --Edward Abbey

See! You're already Junior! It all passes too fast...*sob* You know I only meant your statusline. 'Tis like starting a fresh new game of Diablo or Tie Fighter and paving your way through the early ranks. Feels good.

Yeah, I know how that goes. I've got the original 3.5" floppy versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter, but neither will run. Guess those boys at MS were right. "Ah, we don't need to have DOS support. No one plays those old games, anyway." Well, maybe that's 'cause WE CAN'T!
Ah, well. There's always the collectors edition pack, or the Trilogy...

I liked Tie Fighter as well, but it gets a bit ridiculous when you can fly an A-wing into battle against 50 Tie Advanced and come out without a scratch. Try X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter for some real challenge.

The newer "X-Wing - Alliance" is better. Aand much more beautiful! To fly the new YT-2000 is truly a treat!
I'm real tired of them LucasArts-sellouts, though. First they scrap "Episode I: Obi-Wan", then they totally ignore "Star Wars Starfighter" for the PC. It's all PS2 nowadays for them. Grrr...

Hang on, how can you fly an A-Wing against 50 TIE Advanced on TIE Fighter. Unless I'm drasctically mis-remembering one of my favourite games of all time, you flew baddie ships in TIE Fighter. And the baddies didn't tend to have A-Wings.
