The Best In Early Star Wars Games 
2002-10-13
I won't argue that this Trilogy is by far the best in early Star Wars games
A Classic... All together for a great set of games. 2001-05-30
The only thing is the game requires a joystick, unlike the previous versions that didn't. Which is alright, no problem. I got one, you got one, if not then there are a slew of wonderful little sticks out there that will sufice.
All of these games are classics, from Xwing until the end... each is among the best there is to offer in the Star Wars gaming. Of course the Xwing and Tiefirhgter are older than Windows... But you can get around that can't you? Here's the lowdown.
Genre: All are Flight Simulation, Space Fighters... meaning that there is no simulation for atmosphereic flight (all 360x360 directions with no gravity... no real sense of up). Which can get annoying if you are just that type of person.
Controls: In exception to your Joystick... not a lot is customizable. Alliance is a more recent game can do a little. They are easy to learn and not complicated by any means, and each program has in in-flight key guide.
Gameplay... Superb. I love them all. I've owned just about every version of Tie-Fighter and find that his game is the better game... though Alliance's better graphics and general quality is newer and better, they are all still the greatest (In comparison to some of the most recent multiplatform fighter games... these are a nice breath of nostalgia.
Xwing is by far the oldest and comes with both extra campaigns, Imperial Pursuit and B-wing. Tie-fighter comes with it's extra add on and Alliance is a full package. This box set gives you everything the individuals have: updated graphics and compatibilities. It's really worth the price when compared to the individual price of each three of these games. ... .
I recommend this for anyone who played the games in their older versions. You'll be surprised to see what's changed and how well they are now. I still find myself playing around with them. And the best thing to do is to play around with their mission editors (not included) and make your own missions. Tie-fighter is especially easy to make a mission for. I wouldn't recommend these for younger gamers, since they quality of these games were at their prime in the early 90's, and anything in the computer world that is more than 5 years old is considered antique... but the are collectors.
Awesome! I hail this game! 2001-04-23
When I bought X-Wing, I noticed the graphics weren't the best, but when my A-Wing's blasters blew a TIE into space dust, I knew I loved this game.

An Incredible Bargain! 2001-03-13
Three of the finest space combat simulators packaged together? And only 30 bucks? That's an incredible bargain in my book. Add the fact that the adventures are set in the Star Wars universe and I'm left with only one question: What on earth (or a galaxy far, far, away) are you waiting for? Add this software to your collection today!!!

Star Wars: X-Wing Trilogy provides the complete Star Wars space combat experience in a special commemorative gold-foil-stamped package. It includes a message to X-Wing fans from Larry Holland--X-Wing series creator and president of Totally Games--about the history and heritage of the Star Wars flight combat series. Players of Star Wars: X-Wing take the role of a pilot for the Rebel Alliance. During 122 missions players will battle Darth Vader's Imperial forces in small yet powerful X-wings, A-wings, and B-wings. Star Wars: TIE Fighter reverses roles as players aim to restore and enforce Imperial rule by defeating the Rebels. Fly more than 100 missions, including flying as wingman to Darth Vader himself. Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance is a story of betrayal, revenge, and redemption told over 50 single- and multiplayer missions. Ace pilots earn the chance to take part in the Battle of Endor, and may get the chance to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy: the Millennium Falcon. The bonus sample of Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Flight School includes 14 Imperial and Rebel missions, both single- and multiplayer.
Seriously, it's worth it! 2001-01-27
X-wing and Tie Fighter are right up there with the Wing Commander series as being benchmarks for the space-combat genre. The expansion packs for both of those games are also just as fun and well-thought-out as the foundation games (which is a rarity in ANY computer game). I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys great action and tense, seat-of-your pants flying and fighting on the computer.
The Best of the Best of the Best.... 2000-11-27
I have been playing computer games for almost 10 years now... and these games are BY FAR my favorite. They keep me coming back year after year. If you have not yet bought the updated versions of these games, this is a golden (and inexpensive) opportunity. For those of us who purchased the previous set... well, it could be a little frustrating to see this package. :) I don't have Alliance yet so I am biting the bullet. You know you probably will too! Just grin, bear it, and buy it. :)
