GOG, Good Old Games

[Alinestra Covelia]

You can play XWing Alliance already, but yes, I'd love to play Tie Fighter... tempted to go grab my CD and see if I can coerce it to install on Vista, honestly ...

Also, Zaxxon

TIE Fighter runs fine in DOSBox - it's one of the games that is pretty much 100% compatible.

Also, if you have XWA, consider trying the TIE Fighter Total Conversion. It's at http://tftc.gaylenol.com/ and they've already converted the first 7 battles. Battles 8-13 actually can be self-converted, so the project has taken back seat because of that.

But it's still more fun to play TIE Fighter in its original incarnation from the CD. The only thing you have to watch out for is the laser and ion cannon blasts travel much slower than they do in XvT and XWA.

Found an article on a computer news site about an interesting concept: GOG, Good Old Games. It's a new games portal a la Steam and GamersGate, only with older games, not new ones. All games are rewritten to work in XP and Vista. The prices are $5.99 and $9.99.

Sounds GúúúDD!
Do they deliver to Europe?


My Wish List:
Master Of Magic
Warlords III: Darklords Rising
Master Of Orion
Moonstone

I think the idea is you download them.

The idea is indeed that you download the games.

some internet services are country sensitive. for example YouTube doesn't show all videos to me because I access from Europe. It could easily be the case that there is some copyright-reason why they can't sell to Europe.



Uploading is Delivering.

Yeah guess what! If you could access ABC´s lost episodes, which air(ed) a year before they do in Germany, from europe, hardly anyone would watch them on TV here .

I also have TIE Fighter CD running with sound now on DOSBox. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

T'as raison!

Now where can I get my hands on Knights of the Sky or Megalomania?
