The games have all been enhanced to run optimally under Windows 95/98, and now have 3D accelerated graphics.

Some improvements, many flaws	Boston Low (93)	unrated
Excellent updated versions of the old classics with some technical issues and a lack of most of the original music.	-Condor- (9)
Updated, full versions of X-Wing CD and Tie Fighter CD in one box - great idea, flawed implementation	^LutheR^ (124)
A great collection with that 'you are there' feeling!	bb bb (33)
