Description of Star Wars: X-Wing Collector Series

Star Wars fans, listen up. If you missed out on LucasArts's X-Wing or TIE Fighter simulations when they first appeared, it's time to make amends. These classic games from the days of DOS have been given a complete makeover, updated with enhanced graphics, and now run under Windows 95 and 98. X-Wing Collector Series contains both of these Collector editions in a single box, along with a demo CD-ROM containing X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Flight School, and offers them all at a price that should be well within anyone's entertainment budget.

Entertained is what you'll be once you've installed these games. X-Wing lets players pilot A-wings, Y-wings, B-wings, and (of course) X-wings in dozens of missions against the evil Empire. Although Rebel ships have the advantage of being equipped with shields, don't expect any mercy--the game is infamous for containing some of the toughest missions of all time.

TIE Fighter turns the tables by letting players work their way up in the Imperial ranks. Several types of TIE ships are modeled, from the ungainly TIE bomber to the incredibly agile TIE defender. In both games the controls are about as perfect as they can get in a game of this type, and campaign missions play out with convincing voice acting and great plot twists. The graphics pale in comparison to a newer game like X-Wing: Alliance, but there's so much gameplay in these CD-ROMs that we barely had time to notice. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

  • A few hundred fun, challenging missions to play through
  • Many different ships
  • Sound effects and music straight out of the movies
  • Perfectly captures the excitement and feel of Star Wars
Cons:
  • Updated graphics still don't look as good as those found in modern space simulators

Take on both sides of the Force with Star Wars: X-Wing Collector Series, an exhilarating compilation of critically acclaimed, classic space- combat simulation games. Upgraded with stunning 3-D graphics and tuned to run on Windows 95 and 98, this value-oriented set celebrates X-Wing Collector's CD- ROM and TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM, as well as X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Flight School, a special edition of the hit Star Wars multiplayer game.
