Being a long time fan of the StarWars space simulation games X-Wing<\/a> and Tie Fighter<\/a> I thought this was the time to do my first post not exclusively related to space strategy games but about another acclaimed space gaming genre: the space simulation games. As I explain in my about<\/a> page I plan to post occasionally about other space gaming genres or other non-space strategy games when I find it of interest to the space gaming community.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I stumbled in a possible rumor, or rather teaser announcement by LucasArts, in G4 TV,<\/a> that the X-Wing and Tie Fighter series could come back in the near future.<\/p>\n

\u00abPatrick: I asked Rodriguez for thoughts on a return of the company’s lauded X-Wing<\/a> and Tie Fighter<\/a> flight sim series. His answer? “We don\u2019t have any announcements now, but stay tuned, (…) We will soon….. <\/em>said Rodriguez<\/em>“<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n

I really hope they make (or-remake) new StarWars flight simulators. I may have broken one or two mice playing these games :).\u00a0 I don’t remember why but I never managed to use the joystick, it didn’t felt right … maybe something to do with less shooting precision (or more likely I just had a crappy joystick).<\/p>\n

X-Wing and Tie Fighter had the atmosphere, the gameplay, the story and solid missions. Happy days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
