DJOMaverick: Yeah, I just stopped by the equivalent thread in the TIE Fighter forum... Very, very pleased to see these games go up in any form, but losing out on voiced-Ackbar briefings and such is kind of a let down. Here's hoping they revisit this.
Ravenvolf: I'm confused, I just fired up Xwing 98 version and the full voice acting is in there, Ackbar is talking away.
Or are you guys talking about the older dos versions? Because they are the floppy versions, the one I originally owned so long ago now. I feel so old, haha.
I prefer the Windows versions included here for it's far superior joystick support.
There's three versions: floppy, DOS CD-ROM, and Windows CD-ROM.
What we've got here is the floppy version, and the Win CD version, but not the DOS CD version. You can find out what they added in the DOS CD version, but it's a big improvement over the floppy version (added digitized voices to mission briefings, added gouraud shading to X-wing, and a few other graphical improvements). The Tie Fighter version allowed Tie Fighter to be played in 640x480 resolution, and improved some graphics in the cut scenes, and added the Enemies of the Empire campaign (which only came on CD-ROM).
