yeah i heard about it too, seems the resolution will be increased abit but nothing too fancy. Still might replay Tie Fighter again as its perhaps my favorite space sim ever
Dont mess with God, he can impregnate your girlfriend/wife without taking his pants off!
With today's announcement comes two incredible titles that are branded as some of the best Star War's games ever released; Star Wars X-Wing & Star Wars Tie Fighter. Play through many missions of space Star Wars combat, play as either the good guys or the bad guys and be immersed in CD-Rom goodness. This is Star Wars at it's best!
edit:
* Includes STAR WARS™: X-Wing Collector's CD-ROM and all Tour of Duty expansions: Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing in both - 1994 (DOS) and 1998 (Windows) versions!
* Includes STAR WARS™: TIE Fighter and STAR WARS™: TIE Fighter - Defender of the Empire, both 1994 (DOS) and 1998 (Windows) versions, and STAR WARS™: TIE Fighter - Defender of the Empire 1998 (Windows).
strange, i own cdrom version release in like 97 that supported win95 and 1920+ resolution , even had pvp multiplayer
dont understany why they would do the 320 res disk version
and fuck ys i played the 5 diskette version in 94 to hell, i was a proud secret pilot of the emperor, flying as wing man of darth vader himself FUCK YEAH!!! i remeber how proud i was when i got the emperor tatoo dayum, they dont make games like that anymore
The Win95 version would probably be helluva difficult to get working on modern OS's compared to DOSBox emulating the floppy edition.
(Wasn't there a thread with GOG games which weren't the "best" version of the game available from floppy releases over CD-ROM versions and such.)

I used a virtual Win98 and PPJoymouse to get the Win95 versions and XW:A running under Windows 7 with mouse controls, it was a BLAST. Such an epic series.
Because developers only care about money and graphic looking games, they don't care about story and other important stuff.
I wouldn't say that exactly. I'm sure there are plenty of AAA devs that would happily make a game from one of the "dead" genres. The problem is publishers don't want to fund those sorts of games, because some pencil pusher determined that there was more money in first person shooters and zombies. Hence why there has been a flood of niche games on Kickstarter the last couple of years.
I know it sounds petty, but I dunno if I could play these now, with the extremely low res.. unless it's somehow possible to patch it to a higher res I would just sigh about the 'old days' .

Although what you said is quite funny , with such a low amount of assets in those games it would not be that bad to create higher res visual representation at least for it, the ship is just an overlay in those games so nothing really difficult.
Yeah but they're all 2d sprite games... not quite the same as 3d flight sim type games, I tried Wing Commander games recently - loved them back in the day, couldn't imagine playing them now tho. And yes I did try that other spite based 3d space sim - but the res is much higher.

Look at the great games 10 years ago and the shit games they release these days. Medal of Honor, Battlefield 1942, Call of Duty 1, Duke Nukem, Command & Conquer, those where all great titles. Look at how EA screwed up the C&C games for sample or any other developer with their "in-app purchase stuff". The people who bought games in the past got "mappacks" for free, now developers charge 20 dollars for it. So why would i not say that ? they only care about "getting money fast" without doing hard work for it. A good sample of that is the last C&C game or the Mass Effect (3) story line.

Erm no they're not. X-Wing and TIE Fighter were full polygon.
just fired it up, took me only 1 minute to remember all controls although win version is budged with my windows gagdets and as said it wont launch without a joystick
