"My favorite game ever was Dark Forces."
DF was extremely cool. It was very dark subject matter, and had incredible puzzles to figure out. Fun stuff.
"about a year ago I bought the collector's cd-rom version from ebay"
I played X-Wing allllll the time. On every level, I would stay and take out every single tie-fighter , and when all the waves were exhausted, I would take out the Star Destroyer. And this was without invulnerability or unlimited weapons. I was that good (and probably still am.
)Tie Fighter was okay, but just not quite the same. One thing I thought was funny was the tractor beam on the super-duper tie fighter. It was a pain in the butt to lock on, so I always turned it off and diverted power to weapons and speed. MUCH more effective!
BTW, just thought I'd add....I have a stand-up coin-op console game: Karate Champ. Anyone remember that one? "Half-Point!....Full-Point!"
