[edit] Improved the Collector Editions section

I rewrote the Collector Editions section with a clearer distinction between the two editions, so as too alleviate any confusion.

[edit] Naming Convention

Should not the name be spelled "X-Wing" instead of "X-wing?" LucasArts spells it this way. I recommend that this entry is moved accordingly to Star Wars: X-Wing. Anyone object? --Sprintabm 23:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Farlander Papers

According to the introduction in the strategy guide, only parts of the Farlander Papers were included because it originally was a limited edition thing. I changed this and also added that the strategy guide could only be bought separately. Also included info about the golden CD-ROM version.


[edit] Links to X-Wing Book Series

My written word is far to conversational to make this edit, but:

Many years ago, I read the the first book of the X-Wing Series (Rogue Squadron), and it includes an amusing direct reference to X-Wing the game-

One of my least favorite X-Wing Game missions was one where the pilot had to defend a Rebel cruiser evacuating wounded from wave after wave of Tie Bombers... This mission was largely viewed as impossible by myself and many of my friends, all of us managing to beat it only out of pure luck and _MANY_ tries.

In the Book series, which came out several years later, they directly discuss this mission. I forget the details, but essentially they discussed how how the pilots who had managed to pull it off had defeated all odds, and it was now the most difficult and most feared simulator training missions in the X-wing program, or something to that effect.

Fun cross-genre trivia, I'd need to go back to the source material to get the details, but its probably something that should be in the artical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.82.34.140 (talk) 22:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Full title

Is there a cite for this one? I can't find it on the game box nor at Lucasarts' site. Davhorn (talk) 18:10, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

SharkD told me the original box has the title (see this box image at MobyGames ), so I guess it is pretty much an official part of the name. Jappalang (talk) 06:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Isn't it a tagline more than a subtitle? Similar to Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role-Playing Game. As taglines aren't part of the title, I think it should be dropped. --Mika1h (talk) 20:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
That's what I think too. "Space Combat Simulator" was dropped from the CD-ROM version of the game and if you look at the complete game list over at Lucasarts' own site, it's just called Star Wars: X-Wing. Same with Totally Games' list. Davhorn (talk) 02:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Sooo, could anyone move it back? I can't move over redirects. Davhorn (talk) 21:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
