They had a couple of great combat flight sims during this period as well: Their Finest Hour:The Battle of Britian, and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Then Lucasarts went into arcade-type games and things went downhill.

Yeah, I remember when that started. Rogue Squadron was the first like that......then Starfighter, Battle Of Naboo, Jedi Starfighter all followed the same formula. They are all basically the same game, just with improvements to graphics and gameplay.
The golden age of Star Wars LucasArts games was....X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Rebel Assault 1 & 2, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, and Mysteries Of The Sith. Haven't played much of XvT or XW Alliance, but I would put them in with the above group. Force Commander and Rebellion were the first attempts at SW strategy games.....I didn't play them much, but I didn't really like them. Those games are not my cup of tea.
