So having an itch to play these games again, wanting to show that these games are possible to be played on a controller, and also wanting to show gamers who have not played these games what they’ve missed out on lead me to write this guide on how to get the games in the X-Wing Series working on a modern computer while looking and sounding at their absolute best. But with dual analog controllers, with some streamlining of gameplay systems and some intuitive control mechanics (like a multi-function radial dial similar to what is in Mass Effect 2 on consoles), you could likely bring the controls over to a dual analog controller without compromising the depth of the game. Tie Fighter (1997) and X-Wing Alliance (1999) and in my mind is what could have caused the decline in popularity for the series. The (artificial) requirement of a Joystick was a limiting factor for X-Wing vs.
It has been puzzling for me as to why Totally Games didn’t ever try to bring the series to consoles after the popularization of dual analog controls. In addition, some additional Troubleshooting notes have been added including for Windows 8, and the Balance of Power installation. UPDATE: The files from the Tie Fighter Reconstructed guide have been re-hosted. This guide can help you get the original versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter running with 3D acceleration, but only in Windows 7 or older. Keep in mind that the GOG.com Windows versions have 3D Acceleration completely disabled (likely because these games do not run very well with 3D acceleration in Windows 8). The GOG Editions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter are now available from gog.com - their release includes the original Floppy disk versions and the Windows CD-ROM versions, but currently does not include the DOS CD-ROM versions. UPDATE 2: The Tie Fighter Reconstructed page now has a version that is compatible with the GOG.com edition of the game. With the new Star Wars movies on the horizon, what else would be better than revisiting these games? It’s been over a decade since the last proper Star Wars flight sim was released from LucasArts, and many of us who were fans of the original series have been patiently waiting for a new installment for quite some time now.
