Imagine the possibilites. Jedi Knight 1-2, Jedi Outcast and more. Tears are flowing from my eyes.

Those are all on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2103/

But plenty of other Star Wars games aren't. Rebel Assault anybody?

Like i said, the Steam version of Jedi Knight is an hack job. You actually have to torrent the ISO in order to get the music and you still need to use all the same tweaks you would need to run the game had you installed it from those ISOs in the first place. At least with gog they make sure everything works right out of the box, even if they have to steal other people's mods to do it.

Well, ok. But at least it seems they get around fixing those problems (and for SMAC at least i wish they didn't. Can't believe i had the previous version without the expansion, but erased it), and a lot of them are either minor (like missing manuals) or just bugs, botched attempts or version conflicts.

Whoever put Jedi Knight on Steam didn't even bother to try, and they don't seem to care one way or another. I just don't thrust that kind of attitude.

They dun goofed, the DOS version of Tie Fighter they put out is the original release not the collectors CDROM, so it's missing the SVGA graphics as well as the Enemies of the Empire expansion.

I'd ask about that, since in their description it just look like that, since they mention the year 1994, and just one expansion, which would indicate they're selling the floppy.

That means the best version of Tie fighter is not there. The CD dos version of tie fighter had VGA and SVGA graphics.

 

[MicoSelva]

Wow, this is nice. I will be able to somewhat legitimize my recent pirated playthrough of Sam & Max Hit The Road (which i did not like that much, maybe not my type of humor). Also, X-Wing & Tie-Fighter.

Now I regret buying Dark Forces on Steam.

Steam can fuck itself if there is a possibility to buy a game on GOG.

I dislike Alpha Centauri's expansion as much as anyone, but you can still simply run the base exe and not have to deal with it, right?

Still, it would be nice if you had the option to install just the base game without any expansions. It's a little pet peeve of mine, just like when you buy those game packs and you're forced to install all of them instead the one you want (it was especially painful in the case of Kings Quest 7+8).

Does anyone know if the multiplayer works for Tie Fighter and X wing?

You can. From the installer, select the advanced options and untick Alien Crossfire.

Oh my God, TIE Fighter

Why...

They never had multiplayer. Only x-wing vs tie-fighter and xwing alliance add it.

 

[Bruticis]

Of course GOG is priced higher than Steam for the games they have, love that DRM free tax.

Apparently, the Windows version is the CE.

 

[Keshik]

Minimum system requirements - Windows: Windows XP/Vista/7/8, 1.8 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), Mouse, Keyboard, Controller/Joystick (only the 1998 version)

Interesting system reqs, hah.

 

[:Flash:]

But now that there are X-Wing and Tie-Figher total conversions for X-Wing Alliance that include the original music, there's no reason to go with the botched 95 version. Either go with the original, or with the XWA TC.

These conversions... were they released? Fully?

All I find now are broken download links.

The Tie Fighter Total Conversion was released, and it works, I tried it:
http://www.darksaber.xwaupgrade.com/craftpacktftc2.html

X-Wing and XvT Total conversion is here (bottom of page), v3.5:
http://www.maxgames.it/xwc/
I haven't tested it, though. This site also has the Battle 8-13 conversion for Tie Fighter, as the original TC only contains the original missions. XWA is not able to handle all missions at once, so it is split in two.

 

[:Flash:]

Ironically, the Win95 version includes all the necessary data files of the Dos Version (they just copied the whole folder). The Dos exe is the only thing that is missing.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

So the GOG version does not include the 1995 version? *Pets his boxed copy of Tie Fighter Collector's CD-ROM*

 

[undecaf]

Huh, I don't remember hearing voice acting in Fate of Atlantis before.

 

[Infinitron]

Probably because you had the floppy version.

Yeah, that might explain. Still, feels odd.

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

Bummer about the incomplete DOS versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter. OTOH, DOSBox hates my joystick and gives it a massive deadzone which renders the DOS versions unplayable, so when I get to these (currently playing Sam & Max) I'll need to go with the Win95 version anyway.
