One more vote for the vector graphics arcade version of Star Wars. The first time I played it was in "Atari Arcade" at the Disneyland Hotel while on vacation in 1982. Every evening my brother and I would walk over there and play the game. It was the coolest game I had ever seen and I ended up writing my own version on my C64 that used sprites and therefore was no where near as cool.

Oh hell yea!!

The original X-wing on the PC I played to death on my old 386DX 8Meg ram PC. Then Tie Fighter came out and I was lovin it.

But yet X-wing Vs Tie, while it was kind of a sucky single player game(the expansion made it a little bit better) it was still created with Multi in mind. Unfortunately it was released during a time when 33.6 modems were the standard and 56k was on the horizon. Not many people had LAN at there house so the game did "OK" but not as well as the others. X-wing Alliance was pretty fun though for a Single Player game.

I agree, not the best name that is for sure. However neither was Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the clones. Couldn't of just called it Clone Wars, nope had to be Attack of the Clones. Lame....

for me it's a no brainer. It's a StarWars thing, so it must be cool

(perhaps it's my generation/age or my lack of gaming interest)

Analogue is the old standard first used in the Atari 2600 gaming console.

Period.

I hope it's like x-wing vs. tie fighter and not like the olde arcade..
As everybody + dog said, an x-wing series multiplier on the iphone will make my day for a long time.

This looks good, $4 at MOST tho. The old wireframe star wars game, I'd shell 10$ without thought for that. Like some of you, I have prolly dropped a smart car's with of quarters in the wf star wars and would LOVE to have it on the iPhone. Paging Mr. Lucas.....

*sigh* Time to be pedantic and correct you peeps. :p

Analogue controllers have been out a long time .. but, respect to the early 3d consoles: The PSX was released before the N64, but at the time only had a *digital* controller (which was kinda limiting for 3d environments.) The N64 came out a year and a half later with the analogue stick, and a year after *that* Sony came out with the Dual Analogue controller.

Sony announced the Dual Analogue controller more than 6 months before the N64 was released but it took a while for them to release it. ..maybe while they sorted out some games to take advantage of it? I dunno what the reason was.

There. Got that off my chest.

Looking forward to this, and like others, it's an instant buy. A remake of the 1983 Atari vector coin-op would be nice but this, with something old AND something new, is better. The loose analog of the iPhone controls will be much better than the short-throw thumbstick on the N64 and Gamecube.

BTW if you guys really want the old Atari coin-op games, they're an easter egg hidden in Rebel Strike on Gamecube.

A multiplayer dogfight game in space would be a true Wookiee goodbye, can someone do it?

That's also the first game that came to my mind while I was watching the video. You know I really wouldn't mind seeing a port of either Rebel Assault 1 or 2. I'd think that should be fairly easy to do and they could play quite well.
