The Star Wars universe comes to life in Star Wars: X-Wing. Flying for the Rebel Alliance against the evil Galactic Empire, you pilot X-wings, Y-wings and A-wings through many missions as you advance in rank.

Missions range in difficulty, featuring everything from the simplicity of destroying enemy frigates to the complexity of defeating a Star Destroyer, or even the Death Star itself. The training grounds and historical missions will help you hone your skills as you prepare for your three tours of duty.

From the cockpit you must monitor your shield and laser power, pilot your ship, and of course, blow away Imperial ships such as TIE fighters, TIE bombers and TIE interceptors. You'll even encounter the occasional Star Destroyer!

Communications are possible with your wingman, as you tell him to cover you or to attack/ignore a target. A camera feature is also included, which enables you to replay your dogfights and watch from a third-person perspective. With the full-screen cinematic sequences, you might just think you've stepped into Star Wars movie.

X-Wing was a best-selling game of 1993 and the recipient of many awards. It spawned several sequels, such as Star Wars: TIE Fighter, Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance. It is available on CD-ROM with improved graphics and sound in Star Wars: X-Wing Collector's CD-ROM, as well as in compilations such as Star Wars: X-Wing Collector Series. ~ Christopher Michael Baker, All Game Guide

“Another gateway drug. I spent many hours as a small child playing this one, and I loved it to death. Still think it's great.”

5 Games that influenced my GamerDNA by: tekchip

“1 - I don't even know the name of the game or the system exactly. I was 7 or 8 and spending the night at my buddies place. It resembled a Colicovision but was called a something 'home computer'. It...”

“You have the first list I have read that includes a game you can't remember. Still, it's cool that you recognize its influence even though you can't remember its name.”

“Was the system in #1 the Intellivision? Or was it one of the Commodore series?”

“I really couldn't tell ya. I recall it had switches...and it had 'home computer' in its title. Hard to tell most of the time was spent with the light off in front of the TV. I'll have to spend some time looking at image searches to find it again.”

“@Torinir good call Intellivision is what it was and the game I remember playing the most was called Frog Bog. IDK why that was so fsck'ing fun but I believe it cemented me as a gamer.”

“God, I remember the old paddles that the Intellivision had, with like 15 buttons on it. Some CLASSIC games were put on that system. Too bad I don't remember them, and will probably never see one again. :o”

“@EarthboundX Yup very first PC version. It wouldn't run on my 486SX but it ran on my buddies 486DX. We played the heck out of it.”

“These are in the order they come to mind and its an on the spot list but here goes. Keep in mind that I am trying to add new entries and not merely agree or disagree with the poster:
Final Fantasy VII (PSone) - The first RPG I understood as such and thoroughly enjoyed, cared about the characters and was completely engrossed in the story.
Tetris (GameBoy) - It is still the most addictive puzzle game I have ever played.
Intelligent Qube (PS2) - The most unique puzzle game I have ever played.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - A sprawling adventure title with tremendous replay value.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES) - A wacky and light-hearted horror based maze game. If you missed it you missed out. Sadly a true (and by true I mean good) sequel never saw the light of day (Ghoul Patrol doesn't count IMO).”

“One of the greatest space combat simulators ever made!!! An EXCELLENT game that has a significant difficulty level and is FAR from an arcade game. It takes skill to be good at this game.”
