True Farlander, I think you could have done XwA alot better if you added, like in X-Wing, that you can add the wingmen and it would be cool if you could decide more things before u go in flight.
And also XwA has the best music ever!!!
TF has cool Imperial music. Though the quality aint like XwA.

TF is the only flight game I finished, It was the good stuff,I had lots of fun with it. I remember that I played so much that I knew every single craft, satelite, base name and much more.
TF is the best flight game
TF was the best. I loved seeing my own face in game chasing down those traitors!

TF was and will 4 ever be THE best LA flight game
flying for the imperial was just great.

Flying with Vader as your wing in TF was a lot better than flying with Luke in XWA.

Thrawn that will be the only kind of fun you'll have in LA games, in the old ones kuz as i said befor: they forgot how to make fun games. It's so sad.

I coulnt ever beat the original X-Wing.That was my first SW game too.I think now that they got decent testers for flight sims.
TIE Fighter ROCKS!!
I also think TF is the best game LA have released. But I didn't like the win95 version. Hate CD music.
I think the coolest mission in TF is Battle 5
mission 1. When u clear a minefield and have to kill traitors for the first time. That mission is awesome!

Yeah, I liked the old TIE Fighter music from DOS or something. I liked that Imperial March remix that they put in the missions.
Well all that went away along with the pixels
I swear, if you complain about something going away with the pixels, my head will explode.

I liked the graphics update for TF tho, it certainly didn't hurt the game. My fav missions are the ones with Vader of course, and the one when you're in the missile boat, and take out an Interdictor, a station, and 3 frigates

All of this about the old lucas games are better then the new ones also goes for every new game, for example: I have more fun playing Final fantasy 3 (on Snes) then FF 8.
U just gotta love that FF music while fighting!

And the Infernal Machine was good.It had good graphics and was relistic.
The only problem with Infernal is that it lacks story. I thought it was a great game but the story sucked!

the best Indy games were "the fate of atlantis" and "the last crusade" they are so great!!! compared to those two, "the infernal machine" is such a shamefull disgrace.
The game Red Storm Rising had graphics that looked like they were created by fifteen blind, drunk monkeys, yet was based on a very good novel. It had a GREAT STORY, but no gameplay. It was not at all fun.
Rainbow Six had excellent graphics and a great story and great gameplay.
That's all I've got right NOW...

I can only think of ONE recent game that's worth playing, this is a total miracle: it has great story and game play, it also has modern graphics (I don't really care for that part): It's Grim Fandago, that game is the only exeption to my whole "the fun went away along with the pixels" idea

Fate Of Atlantis was the best Indy game, but I liked Infernal Machine too, simply because of all the things you could do. It made you feel like you were really controling everything. What's cooler than jumping a cliff in a jeep, jumping onto Soviet trucks, and swinging over things with your trustee whip? Absolutely nothing!

At least the first version. Don't have the game so i'm not sure which one is worthless (think its the first one). U like characters with square faces and hands?? I don't.
Grim Fandango i havn't played, wish i had. I love all the LA roleplaying games. Think Full Throttle is a great game. So cool beeing a biker on a cool motorcycle, with cool background music. And i thought Mark Hammil did a great voice.

Maybe in the US Nute. In Europe Grim Fandago was a best seller.
I posted this in another thread, but since nobody noticed, I'll post it here too.

You want recent games worth playing? Porsche Unleashed(Got it monday, playing non stop), Half-Life(I play at least twice a week online), The Sims, Deus Ex, No One Lives Forever, Metal Gear Solid(Gotta love this game), Project IGI(also known as I'm Going In), Black & White(Unreleased, Can't wait to play it), MechWarrior 4, Jet Grind Radio(Dreamcast), Metal Gear Solid 2(Unreleased, PS2, too bad it's never coming to the PC), just to name a few. Those are(or will be) games of the "fun" type. Check them out, if you like "fun" games.

Nute Gunray, maybe u should try Grim Fandago befor saying it sucks.
and Poor Bastard, I meant games worth something compared to the old great ones...
for instance Zelda on gameboy and Snes is really a lot better then on N64.

um...I have. I didn't like Grim Fandango at all.

well, I liked Grim Fandago....
but the best games that ever existed are the old ones...
sure I played Half Life or quake II or arena...
but the shoot'em up that I really think is the best is Duke Nukem !! it rocks on multyplayer!

Actually, there was an FPS before Wolf3D... I don't remember the name, but I saw the Shareware version of it on some site last week...

That is so true !! Doom on multiplayer is the best !!!
Doom II is awesome. I first saw it at my cousin's house mnay moons ago. Great game. Quake was fun too. The other Quakes? Not as good.

"According to this Jem person, anything that runs in a resolution over 640x480 and has 3d models instead of sprites does not belong to the "fun" genre of games..."

That is not my way of thinking.
now this is my way of thinking:
Great graphics and 3D sound cannot substitute for lack of gameplay; sounds and graphics are not the things that make a good game, GamePlay is the important stuff, Gameplay!
People have been "blinded" by graphics and sound over and over again so they forgot what's a real fun game all about. and "anything that runs in a resolution over 640x480" is where u can find the best games because at that time they didn't have to worry about graphics or sound, they had to find a great story and make a game that everyone would love: they would concentrate only on that. Nowadays they concentrate on graphics, graphics and graphics(how many direct 3D Hardware acceleration have been released in such a small amount of time!)!!
anyways I could go on for ever but I'll stop there.
oh yeah, I did say that Grim Fandango was a good game and it does not run in a resolution under 640x480 and has sprites instead of 3d models.

I beat Goldeneye in 00 agent with 22/24 cheats and my little brother who didnt finish agent somehow beat me in a couple times.(Before the game ends)
I still have an Atari 2600 with the first SW game ever made. It's still one of the funnest games I have.

Hey Thrawn, I got curious and tried out that Star Wars game on Atari 2600...
It made me laugh !! it's so funny...
I bet that I can finish the game no matter how impossible it is...
Oh yeah there are 4 SW games on Atari 2600
and they're all amusing .

Was that one of those old games that just kept going and going?
How did you get your hands on that game?
Yeah, no matter how long you play it, eventually, the AT-ATs will hit Echo Base, or you will die. I played for 5 hours straight once, and still didn't beat it.
