Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Rebellion - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Empire at War: Gold Pack is now also available for purchase, DRM-free with a 72-hour, 20% launch discount!

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

Malek86: So can anyone try if the GOG version of X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter can be played without a joystick?

Ciris: To quote the game card's system requirements: "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"

So it seems like you've gotta have one - that, or a controller.
Yeah, I know... but I'd still rather have confirmation, because I remember that my disc release would literally refuse to start unless you had a joystick connected. Seeing as the Windows version of Tie Fighter still has the joystick requirement, I don't know if GOG touched that or if they left it as is. Then again, maybe installing the expansion allowed you to play with the keyboard. I dunno, I never bought that one.

Also, the requirements for X-Wing Alliance say the same thing, but I distinctly remember that the game didn't require a joystick.

In other words, if someone can try, that would be the best :P

Wouldn't hurt my feelings to see stuff like Outlaws, Afterlife, and a few of the adventure titles after the 48 hours is up.

I'll pick up Alliance and GBG because while I have every one of these on disc, those are the two that don't really work off disc anymore (GBG disc has become warped I play the damn thing so much XD). I'm too damn tired right now than to track down all the needed KOTOR 2 mods so I'll wait on that one. :D

More games in 2 days? GOG YOU CRAZY :o
Posted January 20, 2015
Only Star Wars games in this wave? Who cares about Star Wars? :P





(Note, this was a joke. Seriously, really awesome release. Excited for what games we will get next)

Dammit. Battlefront II is one of my favorite games of all time but there's no mac version.
Posted January 20, 2015
Daaaamn... X-Wing Alliance and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter... including Balance of Power... holy shit, holy shit, holy shit... and finally a chance to play Galactic Battlegrounds which I missed back in the day and never saw in stores again. That's two Star Wars games I haven't played even once! Absolutely awesome!

Interesting...

Looking on Kotor 1 & 2, I guess gog can't port them, as the rights for mac and linux versions belongs to Aspyr. I hope the negotiations with them are going fine and we will hopefully see some linux & mac versions in the future.

I think I speak in the name of the community when I say:

Yay!

I'd go to your office right now and invite everyone to a round of beer.
