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!

I just wanted to stop in and rudely interrupt to tell you as a SW fanatic the only reason I'm here pestering you fine people instead of playing these is that my bandwidth is shit and I can't even begin do download any of these until Monday.

That's all.

Continue! :D

Tpiom: Neither was the lead designer for Knights of the Old Republic II... Get that one ;)
I tried to play it on Xbox... the 1st person perspective of the first mission got me lost. And then after that my DVD drive died meaning i couldn't play it... :( Still got it here somewhere...

I'm not too familiar with the Star Wars games for the PC. I've played Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II for the GameCube years ago. With that in mind, which (if any) of the X-Wing games would you guys recommend as being close to that kind of experience?

On a side note: If the Super Star Wars games ever came to the 3DS or PC, I would instabuy them on the feeling of nostalgia alone. :)

We know they are already Star Wars games, but the question is which ones?

The X-Wing and Rogue Squadron games are very different from one another, designed for very different audiences. But, the original Rogue Squadron is on PC, and it might get released here on GOG (I hope it does). Otherwise, you have to find a retail copy and, if you are on a 64-bit system, a 3rd-party installer to install the game, as the game's installer doesn't work on 64-bit systems, being a 16-bit program (the game itself will run, though your mileage may vary).

It's certainly a possibility since there are more Star Wars games coming Thrusday. Thank you for the heads up!

Yes!!!

Knights of the Old Republic II... Have waited long for this one! The original release won't work on any modern PC (or most of them). GOG makes it possible. Another well curated game to the list, along with many others.

Got KOTOR II and Battlegrounds II at once... Alliance and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter will come later.

Full Throttle?
Grim Fandango classic?
Star Wars games?
Maniac Mansion?
Day of the Tentacle?
Loom?
...Yoda Stories? :)

If they release Empire at War on Thursday, I'll probably do the unthinkable and immediately start playing it. I've wanted to play that game for ages, but I somehow never got around to it.

It is good but the land battles get a little repetitive. The scaling of the space battles however is worth the price alone; I can't stress that enough, it is totally off the charts.

There were probably tons of similar posts but.. How about Rogue Squadron? One of the best games in the history! At least, from my subjective perspective :)
GOG, you can do it!

Indeed. And grab some space mods while you're at it, like the Legacy mod or the mighty z3r0x mod for FOC. Takes the space battles to a whole 'nother level of epicness.
