Yard Sale Find of the Year


My wife is an avid yard sale shopper. Most times, she comes back with cake pans or other kitchen goodies. This week, she made the find of the year. She found "X-wing Vs. Tie Fighter" on CD-ROM for the PC. Sticker price, $2.00. W00t! This is the follow up to the fabulous Lucas Arts game "Tie Fighter" which followed "X-Wing."

I own the first two games (on floppy disk) but somewhere along our seven moves, this game disappeared. This 12-year-old game installed with just a few tweeks on my Vista machine. Now, my afternoons will be filled with flying missions for both the Alliance and the Empire. Oh wait, I DON'T HAVE A JOYSTICK! Yea, joystick required. It looks like I'm off to WalMart for a new hardware purchase.
