One of the best little things about this game is that it gave all this backstory to the cruiser Liberty. She's basically your home for the majority of the game, you fight alongside the squadrons aboard her and Commander Kupalo and Commander Zaletta are both notable characters throughout the game. And then you get the cutscene where the Death Star blows up the Liberty...

Played this as a little kid with a flight stick my dad found me. Some of my best childhood memories.

20 years later, we're still without a Star Wars space simulator like "X-Wing" or more arcadish like "Rogue Squadron". Hard to believe. Then, some people say: "Hey, but there are space battles in Battlefront II, right?" NO, JUST NO.

I've always asked myself why the games industry seemed to completely forget the space flight sims genre. Games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy (just to name a few) were hugely successful at their time, and there's plenty of players out there who would happily give their money for an up-to-date version of these games !

One of the greatest games ever made. 20 years old and it still looks and plays amazing. I've been playing it again last few weeks and man, it sucks you in. I still feel games late 90s early 2000s were the best. Great movie, my compliments.

Pretty much it was the peak, the last era when games were incredibly polished and complex with immersive gameplay. I love Atari era in the 80s, Amiga era late 80s/early 90s, PC DOS era (early 90s) and PC Windows era late 90s/early 2000s. After LCD monitors became the standard the games started to be garbage...

I remember really liking the Azzameen family storyline: the strained ties, divided family members, the last minute evacuation, the correspondence with your siblings.

This was the best X-Wing game in the series. The Azameen family should be proud of Ace!

Amazing edit. Thank you.

I loved X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and XVT, but Alliance is above and beyond my favorite. I loved that they were able to weave a fairly interesting and original story into the events unfolding during the GCW. With the new mods from XWAU just damn.

Brilliant. Just brilliant 👏👏👏

I found the story in this game more engaging than any of the films after ROTJ tbh.

20 years ago. I Buy my first pc with graphic card. And the first game was X-wing Alliance. I just install and run the game so when i Saw the 3d graphics i scream WOOOOWWW and YEEESSSS. Súper fun powerfull game!

A great addition to the EU. An expanded / adapted version of this story could have made an anthology film far better than what we got with Solo.
