Ugh why the double entries GOG, come on now.
It says so in the game description.
One is the DOS version(1994) and the other is windows.

Won't be able to check this till I get home - is the "94" TIE edition really the first release, or is it the '95 Collector's CD-ROM release?
They have numerous games with multiple versions, they always get 1 entry with multiple download links in that entry.
It's the collectors edition.

Well, I can't think of any contemporary game that quite plays the way it does, so if nothing else, it's kind of unique.
(Is there anything that apes the pseudo-dynamic mission structure of the X-Wing family of games?)

Pretty cool that you can also try out X-Wing for Windows, didn't see that in last night's release thread. Good for them having triple-OS compatibility for DOSBox-only games right off the bat!
What a launch this will be.

Hold up against what?
Exactly. Space simulators is a genre that is practically dead for more than a decade.

They really need to ditch the multiple boxes and combine everything into one, though. Stuff's gonna clutter up my box-shelf.

TIE Fighter's description says it includes TIE Fighter and Defenders of the Empire; am I to understand that it does NOT include the Enemies of the Empire expansion? Enemies of the Empire is pretty good content and well worth it.

Enemies of the Empire is pretty good content and well worth it. It's not super surprising that the game wouldn't include the new engine since it's a nightmare to get running, but I was kinda hoping they'd be able to back-port the content.
It was integrated into the collectors edition and never released on its own though right? It's not a real expansion like the others were and may not have been listed for that reason
WHAT! Is this in both the DOS and Win95 versions?
Does the game automatically create black bars for correct 4:3?
Can you remap controls onto the 360 pad? Does it support shifting (ie, hold LB and press A for a different command than just A)
Could I potentially be comfy couching TIE FIGHTER?
My god...
Enemies of the Empire was never sold separately, it was only ever in the collectors edition which is what GOG has.
I don't see how, the game uses a hell of a lot more buttons then the 360 pad has.

YES!
That's why I'm asking if the remapper supports shift commands.

Controller support?

I wasn't going to get these, since I have both versions of both X-Wing and Tie Fighter, but it's really tempting for the controller support. I may have to get at least X-Wing and try it out.

I so hope they put out XvT and somehow get MP to work

Not quite, it's the cd rerelease with graphic icons, less verbs and missing stump/atlas jokes
speaking of stump....
Could you gizza thread title change in between choking people now that the games are out
ah, right. I totally forgot about the different versions.
Apparently you can also retrieve the original game files from the special edition and launch the original with Scumm. Not sure if that makes a difference versus just switching to classic mode while playing the SE, though.

Well that's that then, superior version confirmed? Once you delete the rest of the 1.3GB worth of bloat and back it up in a tiny 5MB archive with ScummVM.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Pretty much. And I'll gladly pay more if that's what it'll take to get a DRM-free version of a game.
I think I'm in for KOTOR and SoMI today, and that's it.

The '94 version seems to be very clunky. You can calibrate your 360 controller (old calibrate your jostick thing) in it but I have not found a way to remap it. Also the game runs much slower and has a very low fps feel. Like the original.
The '98 Version runs much faster and you can remap controlls in it for all your gamepad buttons but LT/RT (XONE Controller). You just press a button on your controller and then select from a very long list of controlls what you want that button to do.
EDIT:
And no shifting option, so you still need the keyboard...
There are no black bars in both versions with one exception: The '98 versions intro.
