Dunno if this is important

But it is to me! Tie Fighter & X-Wing released later today! Finally! And no tinkering with modern OS's

That game was great!

I love GOG.com; they take the time & trouble to make old games work on mondern os's. I was thinking of buying an old pc from fleabay just for this game alone, now I won't have to.

About a year ago, I bought a CH Flightstick Pro (this was the best joystick available at the time for this game). Unfortunately not all the controls (AFAIK) work correctly now, like the 4-way HAT.

I've bought this and F-117A from them; I've forgottten how hard old DOS games are. 100+ page game manuals and 3 billion keyboard commands...we've got it easy nowadays!

Still have a Sidewinder Stick Controller, not the rumble version from about 2000, played the crap out of Falcon 4.0

Wish I still had a SB AWE32; possibly the best sound card on the planet.

My son just laughed when I showed him the trailer, but I bet he cant play it by commands, he needs a controller to play.
