Use the Force, Luke.

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron 3D, an award-winning arcade take on X-Wing action, is available on Windows - for the first time in digital distribution - on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron 3D turned out to be a sleeper hit, an enormous one at that. Originally released for Windows and Nintendo 64, it was lauded as an immense technical achievement in terms of graphics and a smooth, responsive gameplay experience, eventually outselling any industry estimates by manyfold. Rogue Squadron forsook the realistic simulator approach of the X-Wing series, opting instead for an accessible, visceral arcade experience. The game offers plenty of bonus goodies for Star Wars™ fans, including re-enactments of the famous Death Star trench run and Battle of Hoth, as well as plenty of good old-fashioned unlocks, including a pilotable Millenium Falcon, AT-ST, and even a 1969 Buick Electra.

Become Skywalker's elite in <i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron 3D, a visceral dogfighting experience on Windows - for the first time in digital distribution - on GOG.com!

Don't forget you have to relearn how to circle the At-At walkers without slamming into the damn things! :P

ForsakenEagle: Nice one! Now all GOG.com needs is Episode 1 Racer and I'll be set. :)
Yeah, I've always wanted to try the PC version of that game!

IronArcturus: Does this game work with an Xbox 360 controller?
I think it works with anything that can be recognized as a game peripherals by windows, in short: yes.

Has anyone tried this game on Windows 7 64-bit yet?

That's why I ALWAYS back up my save files for these games, I still have my PLT files from X-wing vs Tie Fighter as well.

To answer both of your questions, I've tested the GOG release with a 360 controller on Windows 7 64-bit and it seems fine here.

Great! Also, is there an ability to change the resolution? is there any kind of windowed mode?

damien: great release! before anyone asks, how is this compared to the N64 version?
It's a really good port. I think unlike Shadows of the Empire this one's PC port doesn't have any special new stuff (SotE had FMV cutscenes specially made for the PC version) but it's in my experience absolutely solid work and extremely playable even with keyboard controls.

Edit: Correction, I forgot about one thing which I believe is exclusive to the PC version. A patch added the Naboo Fighter as a playable ship (only usable when replaying already beaten missions - obviously the Naboo Fighter does not belong in the old trilogy's und thus Rogue Squadron's timeframe). I haven't checked whether the GOG version has it but I would be surprised if it didn't.

You gave me something to consider here.

I can't see a windowed mode option in game and no obvious external setup program.

Resolutions on my Intel HD 4000 and nVideo GTX 675m are both showing as 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. I have panel scaling enabled on both GPUs and it looks OK to me but I'm not too fussy (native resolution of my display is 1600x900). It's certainly a big visual improvement on the PAL N64 version that I last played in the 90s :-)

Thanks for the info! So I guess there is no config file to edit it for widescreen?
