Trouble with talking up the story from what i recalll it never had an ending as your character gets unceremoniously dumped for the final mission so you can play as Lando doesn't even mention him or his family again, its as if the entire rest of the game didn't even happen.

I had this game, don't remember where it came from, but this game was such GARBAGE. I hated it so much, but have been searching for it so I could remember its name so I could trash it.

This was my fave of the X-Wing games, tho' it was massively pushed by Tie Fighter. XWA sucked you into the universe we grew up with, the music, the ships, the story - I played this loads whilst already being in my 30's at the time. When I saw SW Squadrons being announced I was super excited ...... but oh gawd no ... we were so let down, or just the industry learnt how to fleece us and our standards had dropped. Btw - for those that want to play it - grab the XWA Upgrade, it's superb.

Hilarious 😅😅

He said you can't play this with a keyboard and mouse. I played every game in the series from X-Wing through this one, on every difficulty level, with a keyboard and a mouse. This game came on about 20 3/5" floppy drives.

This game is held together by it's atmosphere.

How did you do your pillars in the main hall? If you can help it would be awesome cause its driving me crazy trying to figure it out

A really good game. Would have deserved a second and third part or at least an Addon. The only problem I had, was the lacking of speed. It never really had a feeling of speed like you would expect from flying a Star Wars fighter.

X-Wing Alliance, one of the best games ever! So immersive! Loved it! Thanks for the review Coldwind!

The whole review was pretty shit. the storyline was quite complicated. specially the final scence adn when the zak merg with self unit even 2nd serries was totally mysterious and complicated I need personally someone expert anylyze the game storyline for me

Just finished Star wars squadrons campaign for the first time. It is nothing like the X-Wing alliance game I'm going to start the X-Wing alliance campaign again!

Thanks for the tutorial, particularly the UI walkthrough! On the other hand, some of the story moments got spoiled a little, you could be gentler on that :( But all in all huge thumbs up from me.

I love this game so much. I was a huge fan of X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter and one day I just grabbed this game off the shelf of an EB Games and went home and was totally immersed into the story and all the additional aspects they added to the amazing X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter gameplay. It is criminally underrated and overlooked.

My brother and I spent MANY hours playing this game against each other. Tie Defender > *

You can use mouse to joystick converter external software. Worked well for me, played through the entire campaign.

XWA is a great game I've had a lot of fun with, but it still can't hold a candle to TIE Fighter. I wish the possible loyalty conflict between the Alliance and Azzameen family could've been used more, maybe even with conflicting orders for missions sometimes, like in TF where you took orders both from your flight officer and the cloaked figure. Many of the family missions are poorly paced, too, and they could've used the transports' ability to carry cargo in way more creative ways than just carrying containers. What about a mission where it was your responsibility to deploy gun platforms, for example? Also, where in the movies the Empire is something you have to run and hide from, in XWA they're for the most part pushovers. When Star Destroyers appear, they tend to drop out of lightspeed far from the battlefield, sending small waves of TIEs at you for you to shoot down. The hospital mission is so well done and is how the Empire should be portrayed for most of the game, especially when there's a Star Destroyer in play. They also ate fighters for breakfast in the movies, for that matter. Also, the wingmen ruin the immersion so much. In the Star Wars movies (especially in the battle of Yavin) they're tactical, calm, and collected, in XWA they're way more undisciplined, and downright whiny at times. The way they all start complaining one after another when you get within firing range of an enemy starship is so immersion-breaking. All in all, though, a great game, with a massive selection of ships (and most of the fighters and transports flyable!). The ability to make custom missions on the fly with the skirmish editor is ingenious, too.

Awesome video. Exactly what I needed.

uwu

To me the top 3 space flight games are 1st freespace 2 2nd xwing aliance and 3rd rogue squadron on gamecube

This was my first computer game so I loved it. The cyber punk atmosphere and soundtrack are highlights. I dreamt of the day these kind of graphics would be rendered in real-time. Never considered how real-time rendering games from the same era looked, so I guess Cyberia was pretty lazy

WAS ACE'S UNCLE A TRAITOR ALL ALONG????? OR BRAINWASHED AFTER BEING CAPTURED BY THE VIRAXO????

I just remember how many ships you had to choose from was insane. Loved this game back in the day.

This game is so increadible.. even today the music and mission design and story makes it well worth playing. Sad this game marked the death of the space sim and not the new beggining it should of been

Worst tutorial video I've ever seen

The corvelian transport with the auto cannons was OP but fun regardless

Engine power is just anything you haven't diverted to weapons and shields. Speed is your speed in the top middle left. Engine power what's is in the top right, it's a maximum power. your speed is then your power by your throttle.

Thing is back on the day games were made with love mostly by people passionate about the themes they were working on. Teams were small so it was easier to keep consistency, do great experiments that would find their way into the end product, etc. Today AAA companies produce games with processes similar to just any digital platform, like apps and whatnot. They are basically factories where each employee is just a very small cog piece that sometimes doesnt even know what is the vision for the end product.

Great game buuuuut it does suffer from something of a difficulty pendulum which swings wildly from mission to mission. one mission could be easy as pie, next mission could have you retrying it many many times even on easy.

Xwing vs Tie Fighter was funny: My friend preferred to play the Gunboat, but he was very upset about the fact, the he could not dodge my double advanced Torpedoes... 🙂

I will never forgive this game for that Deathstar 2 run. It wasn't fun and I hated that, as far as I could tell, there is zero way to actually play it without invincibility on. It felt like such a wet blanket after the amazing game to that point. Maybe that's just me but it made the end feel so incomplete.

I loved playing it back in '99. XWA should be remade with state of the art graphics but exactly the same voices and narrative

1999 was the year of the pinnacle of our civilization. Before the dark times... before the empire...

I bought this game and the hint book when it first came out and have played it plenty of times. It's my favorite combat simulator.

the last of a great series of games, there is a great pair of mods for this updating the graphics to modern standards and letting you play Tie Fighter on the Alliance engine both a straight copy and a fan made update of the campaign well worth a look for a revisit or a first time player

Does this game work with a PC gamepad, or a joystick is a must?

Is there a good video to explain how to instal the mods?

Nice keyboard. Reminds me of the 90's.

I'm playing this now, it is a improvement from X-Wing vs TIE, but the difficulty in these games is never balanced. Some missions are ok, but others are quite hard even on medium setting. It has other flaws, for example the cockpits feel inmersive but a bit sketchy over the pixelated ones of previous games. The cinematics are well done for its era, but the old ones have got old better. Overall, a great game, I'm enjoying it a lot.

God I loved this game. It was buggy, but it was so immersive. Low key story where you're not a big hero, just a guy. Lots of boring missions, but it always felt exciting and open. Games now are so railroaded it just doesn't feel like space... But this, and then Freelancer.. Space perfection.

Lol the dancer😂😂😂😂😂

How much thye need to be in the compost ?

3:26 you know what's still missing in SW games? A frelling Trade/Guild like one. The Guild 3 showed that it still is something people want, now add SW to that (with better fitting gameplay and all) and we look at a serious bestseller out there. Start small, with only 1 ship (like in good ol patrician) and work yourself up to become a major trade player with dozens of ships etc. under you, carefully handling your alegiances to either rebels or empire etc. (or outright rebel against them and help the rebellion wherever you can)

ok so when u put the golddust area all ur doing is mining obsidian lmao how tyhat supposed showe us where goldstone is
