X wing alliance is downloaded

Joystick is required. I don't think a controller counts. It just got put on steam.

So I googled it, and "partial controller support" means you can use a controller in certain parts of the game, but you'll be required to go back to kb/m or, in this case, a joystick, at some point.

Although reading the forums, some people are saying that they were able to play a lot of games that claim to be partial using ONLY a controller. I just looked up Arkham City and it says partial, but I've never used anything else.

I never played these. were they before or after the rogue squadron games?

The first game in the series, X-Wing, was released in 1993 and Tie-Fighter came out the following year. The version of Tie-Fighter I played was the collector's addition, which included full voice acting, higher resolution graphics, and an expansion with extra missions.

Then X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter came out in 1997 but is more focused on multiplayer. I don't think there is much of a story to it like the previous games in the series, but I never played it.

The first Rogue Squadron game came out in 1998, and then X-Wing Alliance came out in 1999. It's in the same vein as X-Wing and Tie-Fighter, with a single player story.

If you haven't played one before, just be aware that it's more of a space flight sim than the Rogue Squadron games. I enjoyed the RS games but felt like they were kind of shallow compared to the X-Wing / Tie-Fighter games. To properly play, you need a keyboard and flight stick.

I have so many fond memories of playing the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games. I've got to download them this evening.

BTW, gold medals in rogue squadron II are fricking hard

I remember getting gold on every mission on the N64, but this shite has me back to the throwing the controller across the god damn room phase. Luckily, slave I is now available and cluster missiles frick shite up.
