Yup. One of the first games I ever played. I got Squadrons in the hope of reliving some of the joy and the flight mechanics are so fucking trash, the whole game is really.
WoW Classic is also in a very similar category. I recently started playing again and it's mind boggling how much better the game is than anything we've had before or since (I might argue that BC was on par, and I never played Ultima and EQ). I think it's especially telling to try SoD (a modernized version of classic) and find it so deeply disappointing that the team is making it bad in the exact same ways that they made retail bad. It truly feels like they have no understanding of what makes the game so compelling in the first place.

- lantastic 3y agoIf you want to relive some the joy of X-Wing, X-Wing Alliance Update (XWAU) modernizes the XWA game (including VR support). For TIE Fighter afficionados, there is even a TIE Fighter Total Conversion project that rebuilds entire TIE Fighter campaign in XWA, including a reimagined campaign that takes advantage of the engine improvements in the mods to build larger engagements. Definitely took me back to that summer spent at the computer with my trusty Wingman Extreme.
