Solid, fun game if you ask me, though some missions are ridiculously difficult. Or were, it might be that i wasn't really good enough when i was younger.
And the enemy capital ships having perfect point defenses make torpedoes a bit useless.
Tempted by x-wing and tie fighter, but will wait for impressions on how well they work with a 360 pad and on windows 8.
I remember trying to steal the Imperial shuttle mission without the cheat codes once, I had to do something stupid like lure the bomber squadron to the far edge of the map and then book it to the shuttle at full speed and back out before they could get back into the perimeter. It probably took like 25 minutes, but it felt like hours, haha.

You'd probably need a keyboard even if the game could recognize every axis and button on a 360 pad (which is definitely not a sure thing with a game this old). It's a space sim, after all.
It's worth the trouble.
They're holding out for the HD remaster with online multiplayer.
loljk
Never even heard of TIE/X-Wing. What exactly makes them so good? Are they sims, or just combat flight games in space?
No Easy Mode for me, I'm sure Curse's no worse than something like King's Quest IV.Curse has the best animation and (sung) song in any game, don't think it's ever been topped, at least by a game of comparable quality (the song or hand drawn animation, it truly feels like your'e playing a cartoon). I replayed it a few years ago, and it holds up amazingly well, except perhaps a few of the inventory puzzles / scavenger hunts, but there's always easy mode if you're worried about that stuff.

Galactic Battlegrounds would be a great alternative to Age of Empires, assuming it and the expansion come out prior to GOG making a deal with Microsoft. If they can revive the Factor 5 games somehow, I'd cream.I'll be sad if there's no Star Wars Battlegrounds, Episode I Pit Droids, Republic Commando, Battle of Naboo and Empire at War.
I would love for The Dig to be rereleased.
Oh boy...OH BOY! Sam and Max? OH BOY! X-wing and tie fighter...lawd..
I for see that Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle will come also i know it i know it...sooo good
In news that will certainly crush anyone who enjoyed LucasArts-branded adventure games, the team at LucasArts Singapore was working on a remastered version of the classic point-and-click game Day of the Tentacle, according to three people familiar with that project. Like the special editions of the first two Monkey Island games, released in 2009 and 2010, the remastered Day of the Tentacle would be pseudo-3D, with remade background art and cut-scenes redone to run at 30 frames per second.
Although this Day of the Tentacle remake was never officially greenlit, two sources say it was almost finished. One person familiar with the project pegs it at 80% done. But it was never approved, and the company's higher-ups had no interest in continuing to make what they called "legacy" titles like this one. So the game remains unreleased—and perhaps there's a near-finished Day of the Tentacle HD sitting on a shelf somewhere in Singapore, never to be touched again.
Now it will come for sure.
It's so great to see Disney take a complete 180 on the digital distribution release of their games, with these releases and their recent releases on Steam. I'm guessing someone new must be in charge of their gaming division.
Assuming they still have the development files and can retrieve the devs from any other projects already in the works.Now it will come for sure.
This is only the first batch. It'll be there.
