Anyone have any resource where I might be able to get this classic game?  My
kids have just discovered Star Wars, and I would love to be able to show
them this game...I thought I still had it, but apparently gave it away a
number of years ago.  Not available in any store, to my knowledge.

Don't forget Tie Fighter! I'm not sure why but I always thought that was the 
best one, the Imperial ships are so much cooler :D

Great game, but unfortunately designed as a multiplayer game. No story but
imho a great engine and a good flight model. The game was from 1997. To add
a rebel an a imperial campaign try to get the XvT with the official add on
Balance of Power. Afair it was sold bundled together in a some kind of
"sold out edition". DonΒ΄t forget to look out for the classic X-Wing and
TIE-Fighter games, both available in XvT graphics. Lots of Missions with a
storyline.
Due to the age of these games you will find them second-hand only. What
about the Lucas Arts web-store?

Regards
Oliver
