Never heard of it.From what I saw from the video it seems like a simpler version of star wars x wing.It should be truly good considering the tech of those times.

It was released I think in 1984, the year of the big gaming crash. Hardware at the time was Commodore 64, Sinclair Spectrum, Atari VCS, Intellivision etc. Which X wing did you mean?

X wing on pc was almost 10 years later than this game. 1993 it says on the wiki page.  Do you mean the star wars arcade game with the x wing. There was a version of that for the VCS unbelievably. Quite playable too. That might pre-date Elite at least the arcade machine.

I'm talking about the pc version of x wing.Never knew one came for the vcs too.I was born in 1988 so I didn't have the chance to be a gamer in any of those systems.Were there a lot of games on them?For what price?
