    Star Wars: X-Wing Space Combat Simulator (3.5" Disk)

    An exciting way to become engulfed in the Star Wars rebellion.

    X-Wing. It's incredibly fun. You get to fly various classes of Rebel star-fighters, like Y-Wings, A-Wings, and of course, X-Wings. You'll pit your skills against tie-fighters, tie-bombers, gun ships, and even Star Destro... Read Full Review

    Genuinely funny, and very clever. An excellent example of what a point and click adventure should be.

    There was a time when PC gamers would look forward to the next exciting point and click adventure title to come from Lucas Arts (and LucasFilm Games) and Tim Schaffer. Games like Day of the Tentacle is the reason why. ... Read Full Review
