SGJ Podcast #188 – X-Wing/TIE Fighter Series

Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast y’all! This week, Jim, Hunter (welcome back!) and I welcome back our buddy Joe Mastroianni — host of the Upper Memory Block Podcast, co-host of the Star Wars Stacks Podcast, and a Star Wars aficionado — to discuss one of the landmark series of space games, the X-Wing series, which includes:

• Star Wars: X-Wing (1993)
• Star Wars: TIE Fighter (1994)
• Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter (1997)
• Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance (1999)

We talk about what these games meant to us, their impact on the genre at the time, our memories of them, their legacy and much more. It’s a fun discussion that not only discusses the games themselves, but similar games before, during and after their release.
