I really hope these do well so we might get a new one.

A+ logic, would logic again.
This is such fucking awesome news. Now if only someone would remaster them with new graphics/engines.

Yeah, this is big news.
Got my wallet ready, and putting down other games for some Tie Fighter lovin'. I installed it with my 3.5s and Dosbox a few years back, but ran into trouble getting the joystick to work right, hopefully that will be cleared up.
By the by. I'm pretty sure GoG.com is getting the Lucasarts library, meaning Full Throttle, Indiana Jones, Rebel Assault, etc..etc.. A lot of crappy ones in there, but some gems too.

I replayed Wing Commander 1&2 and it held up. You're good to go.
Disney is probably making ridiculous demands that make this price necessary.
I don't have a joystick
I imagine I could use a controller though.
It's really kind of sad, space combat really would be a perfect genre for consoles, many early ps1/ps2 franchises were based on it (warhawk for example although ace combat was similar), not sure why the genre died out.

It was murdered in its sleep by Disney.

All of my X-Wing 3.5" floppies (including both expansions) and my Tie Fighter CDs are sitting at my parents house. Price is a bit steep for such old games but I played the hell out of them in my teenage years so I'll probably drop the cash on them again.

For me it works both ways and depends how shitty my computer was at the time. I played Wing Commander 2 on a PS2 (not playstation kiddies) so when I played that off GoG I was like holy shit this is too fast paced. Granted I could have slowed it down to the likely 5 FPS I was getting back then but it didn't hold up without my old thrustmaster either. Most games hold up for me though. My GoG library is bigger than my Steam.
I imagine we will be seeing Dark Forces and Jedi Knight too soon, those will be rebuys for me as well. Maybe even Rebellion (that sucked but I didn't spend a few nights until 4am playing it in college), and Battlefront.
