Oh my... I should have tears in my eyes... wasted so much of my life with this game (and TIE Fighter as well), I can't remember how many times I've finished it...

LEC won't make such game today... shame... today everyone aims for the mass entertainment, so games which require: 1) thinking, 2) reading the manual, 3) imagination to enhance immersion - are considered risky.

One of the aspects of the game that distinguish it from a 3D space shooter is that it requires "situational awareness", something that every combat pilot needs (in real world). If you simply keep shooting at nearby targets, you will miss the bomber squadron that will blow up the convoy you were supposed to protect (and instead you were dancing with enemy fighters).

This game is just like the Old Star Wars Trilogy = classic.
