PC Games (Germany)
Auch in der Softwarebranche gibt es gewisse Phänomene, die man sich kaum erklären kann. Seit dem Erscheinen im April 1993 hält sich X-Wing hartnäckig in den Charts und läßt sich selbst durch TIE-Fighter, die Konkurrenz im eigenen Haus, nicht beeindrucken.

Graphically X-Wing was something of a revolution. The game engine uses a very early 3D approach to make its gorgeous universe come to life. The models used have no textures because no contemporary PC would have been able to run the game if they had. Even without textures the game looks far better then anything ever seen before. It established the name of Lawrence Holland as a graphics guru. The screenshots in contrast are largely disappointing. They work well with the game but there are very few of them and they are not as good as those in Wing Commander.
