I can agree with you there on Jedi Knight C3PX, but let's get down to brass tacks here: Jedi Outcast was awesome.


Jedi Outcast was unbelievably good! As far as good SW games go, I rank it somewhere near the top not too far being Dark Forces. The concept for Jedi Academy was great, I really liked the idea of playing as Katarn's apprentice, fighting side by side with him on some missions, and the New Republic Jedi going back to the master and apprentice style of the Old Republic, but somehow Jedi Academy fell flat. 

Back on topic, I am a fan of the old campy James Bond films, but Never Say Never Again and On Her Majesties Secret Service were so bad I can never watch them. Oh, and A View to a Kill was overly awful as well. I also found Star Trek V:The Final Frontier particularly hard to stomach.

Yeah, Tie Fighter, and all the earlier installments to the X-Wing series where quite good. They can be a bit hard to get to work on new computers, but there is always a way! If you're Windows user, you can download a program called "Virtual PC" for free from Microsoft. This program is a Windows PC emulator that use to be sold by a company called Connectix, I used to use it way back then. At that time there was a Windows and a Macintosh version of the program, but later Microsoft bought Virtual PC from them and discontinued the Macintosh version, and offered the Windows version for free (which is awesome, because it was a pricy program). Just search Microsoft.com for Virtual PC and you'll find the download page.

Anyway, if you have an old copy of Windows lying around (95, 98, ME, any of those should run Tie Fighter perfectly), you can use Virtual PC to create a virtual computer on your hard drive, you can set its specs, and install an old version of Windows on it, and it works exactly like an older computer and runs older programs flawlessly.
