"Jeez, it only took decades, but two of the finest space combat games - not to mention best Star Wars games - of all time are about to get a re-release.

Special digital versions of both X-Wing and Tie Fighter will soon be released on Good Old Games. They'll be $10 each, and while we don't know an exact UK price yet it's around £6 converted.

For that price you're getting not just the special editions of the games (which had slightly higher resolutions and improved sound, as well all of both games' expansions), but editions of the games that will run on a modern PC without needed to tinker.

Note that the announcement of both games comes via a GoG forum notice, which spilled the beans a little early. Similar postings reveal other classic Lucasarts games will also be coming to GoG, such as Fate of Atlantis, KOTOR and Sam & Max."

I saw this earlier today on FB and became so excited. Now if only I my own computer set up and didn't have to use my gf's... le sigh. Still, can't wait to be able to play this, I need to play some good ol' X-Wing and TIE Fighter, it's been so long!

I still have the old CD-ROMs for both those games plus X-Wing: Alliance in my desk drawer. Tie Fighter was the first Star Wars game (and maybe first game ever) that I played. It is a masterpiece; the pinnacle of the space combat sim. I've wanted a sequel (or to be to play it on a modern desktop) more than KOTOR III.

They've also re-released Sam and Max for the first time. Will be getting these ASAP.
