SW Game Cut Scenes

Yes, they were. I happen to own both of them.Mange wrote:Weren't X-Wing and TIE-Fighter bundled together and released around '98 or '99 with updated graphics? I remember hearing about it, but I never bought it (unfortunately).
About the Rebellion: I absolutely loved that game. Especially the Imperial protocol droid was excellent, I found him much more intriguing than C-3PO. And the way he reacts to an Imperial defeat... Excellent.
Hmm... I actually think I tried to get them to work under XP, but there were at least some difficulties. I odn't remember whether I got them working in the end, though, it's been some years since I last played them.Mange wrote:Do they work under XP?Tiriol wrote:Yes, they were.

Too bad that little spider droid thingy was such a lousy shot. Oh well, he left the Rebels to take care of your...sanction.
Easiest way to see that cutscene? Use RebEd to give Coruscant a starting Advanced Shipyard, make the Death Star cost 1/1, and then use that to blow up Coruscant on HQ Victory mode.
I did that a few times. It was great fun.

I liked it actually; still occassionally plays itArcturusMengsk wrote: Incidentally, am I the only one who enjoyed Star Wars: Rebellion? I know a lot of people didn't care for it, but I liked it, although I was a young'un when it was released and never managed to beat it. So I saw the above cutscene many, many times.
http://www.swrebellion.com/ makes it almost like a new game.

Fleets of Executors wiping the Rebels from each sector never got boring. A full salvo, scratch one corvette, repeat...I'll test that - after winning MTW2 - Rise of Kings as the Byzantines.Warsie wrote:http://www.swrebellion.com/ makes it almost like a new game.

lol..... I totally forgot that Balance of Power had cutscenes. My most lasting memory of that game was the pitiful size of the SSD(prior to the patch) and later on, the ability to kill the SSD twice,

Ahh...memories from childhood...I really need to get the collectors edition.
by the by, unless I'm mistaken, the collectors edition gives both Tie fighter and Xwing an upgrade engine wise to XvT, yes? meaning if XvT still works under xp...those should in theory.

Try googling VDMS.
It works great for games in general, and old SW games in particular for this thread. With it, I replayed Dark Forces on my new XP machine.
However, VDMS still seems a bit picky about which modern sound cards it works perfectly with, and which ones crackle. Then again, the version I'm using is about a year old.

I was in the same boat. I did get to play this game at my cousins house a few times, but I didn't remember how good that game looked for its timeZac Naloen wrote:At least you got to play them, I didn't even have a PC in my house when they all came out and for love nor money I couldn't find them when I did.Fingolfin_Noldor wrote:I never managed to complete the X-wing game.

The re-released X-Wing and Tie Fighter had the X-Wing Versus TIE Fighter engine. I even converted some XWAUP models for them and it worked fairly well. The days, the days ...
Starlancer had the best capital ship explosions. Your screen goes flashes, shakes, BOOM, the ship goes under multiple explosions, debris everywhere, and in the end only twisted metal remains, though you could tell most of the time what kind of ship it was.

Better. Instead of random explosions, the ship slowly turns to wreckage through a series of explosions from front to back. The effects, both audio and visual, are just better overall. In the spirit of this thread, it was just very cinematic. Better than Freespace's mushroom shockwaves, at any rate.
Wing Commander Prophecy had pretty cool explosions. The same flash, but then the ship stays pretty much intact as a derelict hulk. Quite different from the usual all-consuming fire.
