Classic Star Wars X-Wing and TIE Fighter games are getting digital rereleases

#1

The discovery led GOG.com to post an official announcement a little early; the service has been teasing a new publishing deal that would be announced on Tuesday. Both X-Wing and TIE Fighter are coming to the digital distribution service as part of a new partnership that Disney that will lead to some 30 games being released via GOG.com without DRM protection.

Star Wars: X-Wing Special Edition will include the Star Wars: X-Wing Collector’s CD-ROM and both Tour of Duty expansions: Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing. The Special Edition release of Star Wars: TIE Fighter will include the Defender of the Empire expansion, both in the 1994 and 1998 versions, GOG.com says.

X-Wing and TIE Fighter will cost $9.99 each.

GoG? Ugh…

What do you mean by “ugh”? If you buy an old game from most other services it is unlikely to launch on modern computers.

#3

180’s having a fucking 'mare.

Oh my god yessssss. Gimmie that good old Lucas Arts goodness. X-Wing was one of my first PC games that I ever played.

Yes, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was released for DOS.

#7

Shit.

I guess I’m going to have to get on the GoG bandwagon.

I just hate these aren’t showing up on Steam.

#8

You hush or I’ll give you a horrid tag. :slight_smile:

#9

You can add non-Steam games to your Steam client if you prefer to launch all games from there.

#10

That doesn’t concern me too much. I’m just hating that I have to deal with multiple storefronts.

Gonna have to grit my teeth and bite on this one.
