True story: Back in 1993 I was working in the tech support department of a Macintosh peripheral maker, spending my free time learning as much as I could about computers and this thing some of my friends were using called the Internet. I spent a lot of time trading messages on a bulletin board service called the Usenet, and in one of the gaming boards there began to develop quite a chatter about LucasArts' first Star Wars-branded game, a DOS space flight simulator and combat title called X-Wing.

You got a chance to pilot the famed X-Wing from the Star Wars movies, but you could also pilot A-Wing, B-Wing and Y-Wing vessels too. It was tough. Tons of combat, but lots of strategy too: Adjusting power allocation is a big part of the game, making sure you have the right amount of power going to shields, engines and weapons. A few weeks later I saw the game in action, and fell in love.

I had to have it. Only one problem: I was a Mac user, and X-Wing wasn't available for the Mac. I saved up that summer, and ended up building my own DOS-based PC to run the game. I played the hell out of it, every day. It was utterly magnificent. Eventually X-Wing would come out for the Mac too, but it's the only game I can ever remember that actually provoked me to buy a system to play it.
