I am hoping it's something to do with XWing vs TIE or at least set up similar. But when you look at those games, they had so much detail, it's a bit mindboggling nowadays. All those wingman controls, targetting, energy management...just fantastic.

The missions in the XWing series were really well balanced so yeah, hopefully they're like that...good story line. But the Clone Wars? I agree the OT content still is more familiar than the Clone era, but there is so much stuff in the Clone Wars that soon, it will be far more intriguing. <> but if it's moddable, there's a way. Im getting ahead of myself...

Cheers,

It'll just be a steam announcement once they have got the old games to work in modern OS and resolutions. Many experience problems with XWA using, surprisingly, NVidia cards.

What is it with NVidia cards, are the drivers really that bad these days? I'm sure its all about getting false benchmark performance results and show a fast speed, than actually giving the consumer a real product that provides sharp images in games with few problems.

Trust in the Force we shall.

Our X-Wing give back, or hell to pay there will be.

Day of the Tentacle might be released too if this pack is succesful! I loved that game it was the same type of game as Fate of Atlantis, both never finished until this year hopefully if this goes through. Would love Rebel Assault to be released too, fun game even if it was very linear and Rouge Squadron 3d would be great.

Would be nice if they also had KOTOR 1 and 2 in it seeing as they put SWBF 2 in, maybe even SWBF 1 will come out. I am also getting interested in Monkey Island, didn't know it was a modern version of Fate of Atlantis and Day of the Tentacle gameplay wise.

While these ten titles are straight ports – so no Steam Achievements, and no fancy new graphics and sound a la Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition

Eh?? Er..no..
"The team here (alongside Steam) have worked on the old games to make them work in XP/Vista. Very low system requirements "

So there must be some sort of changes to prevent the older titles not having to rely on the likes of DOSbox.

They also said they are straight ports, no improvements or changes.

Its not, just LA thinking its big news. Some of those titles aint even worth getting. Starfighter is definitely one to avoid if your an X-Wing fan. The handy thing with steam is at least you won't lose a disk and its always available to get a hold of.

I don't get it. Why should this be an excitement for oldschool gamers? I mean... they have all those titles already anyway... "YAY let's buy them again on steam" or what?

Old my pie...if the guy that started these tweets really is an 'old school' gamer then he must be about 4.
