That sounds awesome. X-Wing is actually what really made me fall in love with Star Wars. I was 13 when it first came out and I spent so much (way too much!) time playing it. Probably played through the whole game (plus Imperial Pursuit and B-wing) 10 or 15 times. I daresay I actually enjoy X-Wing more than the movies themselves...
Tell me more about this X-Wing hack! Does it run on modern Windows? Where can I get it?
