My TIE Fighter and X-Wing software just won't cut it with my current computer system. Nothing like having the gfx operate yet the sound be non-existant because I don't have "SoundBlaster" or other ancient sound cards... not to mention missions crashing instantly because of my "advanced" gfx card superior to old game coding... I cry. The reality of it all is LucasArts is having to compete more and more now within the computer game industry. I'm sure we've all been in and out of various retailers and have seen how quickly new release games receive price reductions within just a short amount of time before they are clearanced from shelves to make room for the next re-hashed eye-candy game. Mainstay genres are war (WW2 specifically) but the new generation of gamers are no longer first person shooters or even real-time strategy... no the market is now geared at "lasting gaming" namely MMORPGs. As a business, a company stands to make more from a single piece of software, maintaining servers, and tapping into the market of players who will "pay to play" month after month. The evolution of gaming. It's not PacMan anymore, by any means. Yet, I still wish I could play TIE Fighter like I used to...

I am new to these forums, but have been using RebED for years now. I remember browsing the Internet years ago when the Rebellion community was a collection of tiny sites and a few names here and there. I am pleased to see that a large community still exists for a game that I believe was underrated. I've become tired of World of WarCraft most recently, and I've been longing to play my "oldies" - TIE Fighter, X-Wing, and Rebellion. StarCraft could never compare to Rebellion for me; the Star Wars Universe and space combat genre just was a cut above the rest. I was disappointed with Force Commander and the Battlegrounds AOE engine was just too... expected. The various first person shooters just never cut it for me. When your first computer games are Wolfenstein3D and X-Wing, well, that's just impossible to top. My goal is to begin a series of cards. I've made a few in the past, enjoyed a few uploaded by older users, but I hope to share my own creations with many of you in the future. -Judicatorsir
