A Star Wars space fighter sim released for the PC in 1999. While X Wing and TIE Fighter had covered epic campaigns, their successor X Wing vs. Tie Fighter had initially not included a campaign at all, and when was put in place for the expansion, it was deliberately set in an out-of-the-way part of the galaxy to avoid impinging on the main events of the film trilogy. It was not until now that Lucas Arts decided to once more cover the epic storyline, now from a different angle.

  • A Star Wars space fighter sim released for the PC in 1999. While X Wing and TIE Fighter had covered epic campaigns, their successor X Wing vs. Tie Fighter had initially not included a campaign at all, and when was put in place for the expansion, it was deliberately set in an out-of-the-way part of the galaxy to avoid impinging on the main events of the film trilogy. It was not until now that Lucas Arts decided to once more cover the epic storyline, now from a different angle. There's No Campaign for the Wicked as you play only as the character Ace Azzameen, halting the AFGNCAAP attitude of the previous games (the X-Wing and TIE Fighter protagonists were named, but only in the manual). Ace is the youngest scion of the Azzameen family of traders, some of whose members have ties with the Rebel Alliance. Their enemies are the Viraxo family, who similarly have ties with the Empire. Initially you play training and trade missions (neatly shoehorning in the tutorial) but soon the Galactic Civil War starts impinging. Though your father tries to keep the family neutral, the Azzameens end up getting dragged into the war, their home station is taken by the Empire, and Ace joins the Rebels as a starfighter pilot. The rest of the campaign consists of battles mostly with ties to the film trilogy or at least the Expanded Universe, with the occasional family mission. It culminates in the Battle of Endor, at which you fly the Millennium Falcon. X-Wing Alliance allowed a far greater range of craft to be piloted than previous games, especially X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter, and had an extensive multiplayer mode.
