X Wing CoverTie Fighter CoverX-Wing Alliance

Hey, no that Lucas Arts has begun making some of its back catalogue games available on the XBOX Live market place, does anyone know whether they are gonna do a re-revamp of Lucasarts X-Wing, Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance. Those games were fantastic back years ago, and the length of each game was impressive compared to some of todays releases.

ANYBODY OFFICIALLY FROM GAMESPOT GOT ANY INFO ON THIS???

I've never played any of those games but I've heard plenty about'em. I'll definitely check'em out if they're coming to XBLA.

Damnit dude, I saw the title of your thread, and thought that they were releasing these. What a letdown. Anyway, yeah, they should totally release these, at the very least TIE Fighter. TIE Fighter is one of the best space combat sims ever made.

I agree. Along with the first 2 Wing Commanders, space combat sims were flying high in the early to mid 90's. Great games.

Change the topic title. And to answer your question: I highly doubt these games will be released.

sorry guys new on the forums and cant figure out how to edit the title. But at least I know I'm not alone and that there is an interest by the gaming public aged about 24 and up for these games to be re-released!!

I'd much prefer a total remake over just a re-release, new graphics, new cutscenes, new story that goes beyond the original. They need to stop making all the games they are currently doing and make us a new x-wing and tie fighter series!

I know what you mean! I mean look at shadow complex and battlefield 1943, they work really well on XBOX Live.Hey at least we already have the hardware with the official XBOX flight stick and throttle that can be used with ace combat 6. I could really see the graphics and storyline cutscenes being pushed to the limit on the XBOX if lucasarts gave the go ahead. "Might as well milk the cash cow!!"

It doesn't matter to me if they do or don't release these titles... Considering i have X-Wing VS Tie-Fighter and Alliance sitting right beside me on my CD shelf :P

X-wing Alliance was a lot of fun. I used to play that constantly back in '98.

Even though I wouldn't mind those games, I'd rather have Dark Forces I & II

While I could live without Xwing v. Tie fighter, unless it comes with Balance of Power, I would absolutely love to see X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance ported to Xbox Live Arcade! Those are three of the best games I"ve ever played. I would prefer visuals from the Win95 editions over the original graphics, if not updated some more, but the stories were great and the gameplay was great! We can hope that LucasArts and XBox will make these available. They're as much classics as any other game and I've kept my old Win95 machine tucked away just so I can break it out and play these games.

I still have the original boxes and 3.5" floppy disks for both X-Wing and Tie Fighter! I them bought back in the mid 90's, I think it was. I haven't thought about those games in years! Tie Fighter was always my favorite. I'd like to see Grim Fandango or Full Throttle.

If they do start re releasing stuff like this onto the XBLA, i'd be overjoyed if they decided to re release Day of the Tentacle. Hours of fun and weird.

Title was really misleading >_>
