Re: V-Wing and more

The old games are fun - but require a bit of work to get running on XP - damn LA and not supporting older games grr argh!

Meanwhile, my friend Killer3wok just did a simulation on his X-Wing Alliance game and found that despite their slower speed and lower manoeuvrability, B-Wings pwn TIE Defenders - but in overall battles, Imperial fighters win the day. He just phoned me on this one. Ah, those custom sims were one of the highlights of X-Wing Alliance...

I'd like to point out that X-Wing alliance was extremely well balanced, and didn't, to my knowledge, massively contradict the movies - films.

Whaa??!! yikes tongue Awesome game it was, but balanced it wasn't. And I don't want to touch upon the inaccuracies at this point. lol tongue *thinks of all the mismatched specifications and shudders*

Re: V-Wing and more

Well, you'll find that the canonicity of many of the old school games we cling to, depends greatly on your own point of view.

For example - I'll take the canonicity of the X-Wing series over say, Rogue Squadron, or SWBF2 when it comes to fighter combat ANY DAY!!!

Lol So would I, but that's like settling for the leftover crust when you can have the entire pie. wink
