What our customer's say!

"The best", Simply put : 3 of the best space flying games ever made. All they need to do is revamp the format to work on XP and Vista without issue and Lucasarts will draw in a whole new generation of gamers. You want a classic space flying game with a great story line from a movie, buy this set. You won't regret it. Easy to learn the controls and easy to play. Hours of fun no matter your taste. Rebellion or Empire, the choice is yours.

"Suberb game.", X-Wing and TIE Fighter are definitely the best Star Wars games ever made. Absolutely. And this package has those both with all expansions and additional missions in same package. And top of that, both have enhanced graphics. Unfortunately they are not even at the level of X-Wing Alliance, but they are at least better than the original. The resolutions is 640x480 which is unbeatable compared to old 320x240 graphics. Music is real audio instead of some miserable midis. Many have complained about the lack of iMuse as in original DOS-versions, but I don't. If you don't have any versions of these games, but you like them, this is a HAVE TO BUY game.

The third game is worthless, and I haven't even tried that, so I'm not gonna say anything else about that. It's merely a bonus game, which you can toy with a while. It's not an actual game with story or anything.

Oh, and by the way, these both (XW+TF) DO work in Vista or XP, just use the compatibility mode from the properties, if you have problems.

"A HUGE hit with my son!", I purchased this game for my son, who asked for this game specifically. After opening all of his gifts, he rated this game as his number 1 favorite gift! I appreciate the integrity of the individual from whom i purchased the gift from, as this was my first experience of buying from Amazon in this fashion, and I had been skeptical of the honesty of purchasing this way. I am convinced now! and I thank you!


"You have to love its longevity", I first played this game when I was in grad school in '93 on a roommate's computer, as a way to blow off steam during the week. It was very enjoyable then. So much so, I bought the X-wing expanded versions (with Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing) a few years later for my own computer, and then the whole collectors' series back in '00 (with the revamped graphics and music).

I had given that copy of the game to a fella in Australia, and eight years later, I've bought another copy to play on the machine I currently have. This is a period of time spanning 15 years (and four operating systems)! That's a testimony to the enjoyability of the game.

Other games have gotten technically more intricate, but oftentimes the current tech is exploited just for the sake of mere "eye candy." The fellows at Lucasarts really came up with a simple but effective combination of action and story to create a long-lasting winner with this one. It captures the essence of the original Star Wars trilogy very well.

3D hardware enabling is a little tricky with modern OSs, but happily, you can find fixes for this on some of the X-wing-related forums online. But even failing that, the software rendering is decent (made up for by the gameplay), and the majority of today's machines can well handle it.

"Old but classic. Still the best Star Wars flight games you can play.", I don't think there have been any other games that come close to the depth and richness of these games for simulating the "Star Wars" flight experience that we saw in the movies. Action games like Rogue Squadron and Starfighter are fun, but they're watered-down "set pieces" that run on rails when compared to this series. X-Wing was great, and TIE Fighter blew away everyone's expectations for what a space dogfighting game could be.

This collection isn't perfect - the resolution maxes out at 640x480, the 3D support is rudimentary, it's a pain to get it working with Windows XP or newer systems, and the CD music isn't as charming as the original dynamic MIDI soundtrack. Also missing from X-Wing is the option to assign wingmen to fly with you -- a minor omission, but a shame it wasn't included.

Does it hold up today? Not so well -- but these have been re-released so many times that we're probably not going to get an update of this old design ever again, so this is the best way to play the old dogfighting games if you have any interest. The price is certainly right!

"would be more fun if wasn't so difficult", this is one of the older games that are still around, but, unlike the other oldies, this one now has Direct-X 3D acceleration. It also has Lucas Arts premium sound effects , so if you've never played a Star Wars game, this is as good a place to start as any.

You get a manual, a quick reference guide and 2 CD-ROMs containing a total of 3 titles: "X-Wing", "Tie Fighter" and "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter: Flight School" (a demo of an improved title).

this was the first game(s) I ever bought and was hoping for a good space flying/shooting sim that's fun and not too difficult. I got half of what I wanted...it looks good and the tutorials are fun and simple, but like most of these type games, most of us can only finish the first 2 levels before being inundated with unenjoyably heavy fleets and relentless laser fire.

"Awesome", I can't believe how fun an old game can be. Sure, the graphics are a little dated, but the gameplay is unbeatable. This Collecter Series is a really great deal that saves a lot of money because if you only buy one of the games you'll end up wanting to play the others too. So buy it today!

"X Wing Collector Series", Fun game, but I only received half of it. It includes 2 CD-ROMs, and I only got the 1st CD.

"one of the best games ive played", sure the graphics arent as good as modern day fancy stuff , but hey its all about game play and it being star wars just gives it automatically 3 stars , i used to play the one for dos not the cd rom version the diskette dos version religeously when i was a kid this was the greatest game known to me the storyline and the 3 best ships , i hear theres a b-wing in the new cd-rom wich im getting tomorow that even adds to it , george lucas is a genious and this game is a masterpeice therefore getting a 5 star rating

"If you have brain cells, you need this game.", X-Wing was great, I had the floppy disk original. Super-challenging but not so frustrating, with gameplay that was nothing short of engrossing. 7 years later, without playing it at all, many different computers and gone through dozens of other PC games and console games, I still find myself thinking back to many of those missions, what tactics I should use, thinking of the names of those damn shuttles, transports and corvettes that the Empire kept blowing up. And TIE Fighter was also as enjoyable, throwing many many new features into the mix. More ships, no shields or hyperdrive, interchangeable warheads and better targeting data. The intricacy of these games is nothing short of mind-blowing, they will truly change the way you look at video games.
