The X-Wing games were awesome.
In a lot of ways, those games are what turned me into a big Star Wars fan, X-Wing, and later TIE Fighter, were the things that turned me on to Star Wars beyond just the movies. I remember reading the X-Wing strategy guide, and the large portion of it that was written from an in-game perspective as a training manual to new Rebel pilots. . .and just completely losing myself in the Star Wars galaxy.
I spent a lot of afternoons after school playing those games.
I've always regretted that space flight sim games fell out of fashion, and regretted that Disney closed down LucasArts (because we KNOW that EA wouldn't make something this awesome). . .because something like the X-Wing games done with modern graphics and design could be absolutely amazing.
