I liked the arcade version (full size machine) when i was a kid, Im sure i could have fed a small village with the amount of quarters i plugged into it.
That's a different game ENTIRELY.
X-wing is STILL one of the best games ever made. It's a shame LucasArts kicked X-wing: Alliance out the door before it was actually ready just to beat Episode I's release (beginning LucasArt's virtual abandonment of the Original Trilogy in the first half of 2000s) and killed any hopes of a real update to the series. I mean seriously, XWA was built on the SAME modified SWotL engine the original used way back in 1992 (by then that engine was nearly TEN YEARS OLD). It was dated, buggy, incomplete, and it SHOWED. It's kinda sad that Super Return of the Jedi on SNES had a better representation of the Battle of Endor and Death Star assault.
I'm INCREDIBLY irritated that the LucasArts "Best of Star Wars" compilations are ALL post-Episode I releases, especially when most of them SUCKED HARD.
