I think the whole game is impossible without a joystick!

I can imagine you could get through some of the recon missions and some early combat stuff I guess but anything involving a few enemy fighters, shuttles to protect etc. I think would get pretty difficult without a joystick....the game is hard enough with one!

What edition do you have? The one I have for windows 95 had a minor graphics update over the original one and also runs on any version of windows it seems. I have it running on vista.

I still have nightmares of the error message I always used to get on the original 3.5" disk version whenever I tried to enable sound

"You do not have enough EMS Memory to support speech"

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Quiet weekend around here....

I managed to find my Xwing disc and as a bonus I found my Jedi Academy disc, so hopefully I'll be able to join in the next time you guys are playing.

I'm a few missions into the first tour of x-wing, they get quite tough pretty quickly, I forgot how hard the game can be.

Also played the first level or two on Force Unleashed, pretty cool fun though I have been sick most of the weekend and that has somewhat detracted from my enjoyment.

I managed to re install x wing last night, seems my computer still had my old save game file hidden away somewhere as I'm up to about mission 7 or 9 in the first tour.

Have to save the Sullastan leader or something, I got toasted last night.

I can't believe how out of practice I am...takes a while to re-learn all the keys for targeting stuff and everything let alone living through a fight of about 3 or 4 TIE's on one x-wing or even worse a y-wing!

The mission I'm doing is in a Y-wing, it's a piece of junk
