Description

From Wikipedia

Star Wars: X-Wing is the first LucasArts DOS computer game set in the Star Wars universe, as well as the lead title in the X-Wing computer game series. It simulates the experience of combat in the A-wing, X-wing, and Y-wing starfighters of the Rebel Alliance. X-Wing was built on an evolution of the same game engine that underlay the Air Combat Classics series of World War II flight combat games, (Battlehawks 1942, Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain, and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe), that were developed by Lawrence Holland for Lucasfilm Games. X-Wing's main advance is that it features a fully 3-D engine for the flight combat simulation instead of the bitmaps and sprites of the earlier titles.

Quotes (from this video)
  • my name is Marty these are my musings
  • I love looking at empirical cells data whether it be for movies or comic books or albums it doesn't matter I like seeing what the top sellers are
  • those four games have been around for quite a while which goes to show that either one people in this hobby are still buying those games or hopefully hopefully people are coming into the hobby and those are those gateway games that everybody recommends for people to check out
  • evergreen as' I just made that term up
  • it doesn't matter how often they refresh that game it's always a fantastic seller thing is though I bet it drops out of the top ten in the next quarter
  • so to have this game that is a hundred bucks still continue to sell well quarter after quarter year after year is just a testament to how popular that game is
  • exploding kicking kicking exploding chickens now that would be funny
  • now when I first saw Dominion on this list I thought wait a minute that should be a board game but I guess when you really think about it it's nothing but cards 100% card game
  • I love Arkham Horror LCG I have been into LCG games since they first came out
  • with Arkham Horror LCG every time I play that game I am totally sucked into the story
  • sweet sweet game if you have not tried it I highly recommend checking it out
  • Seven Wonders is considered a card game come on it's got player boards it's got a lot of different tokens I think personally that should belong in the board game category and not the cards and dice Hey but maybe I'm wrong
  • Games Workshop is killing it right now
  • Dungeons & Dragons since the release of the fifth edition has just skyrocketed in popularity it has taken over everything
  • it's yugioh TCG key Forge and Dragon Ball super
  • it's really cool to see ki Forge up in there
  • While it's not a CCG in the sense of you buy blind booster packs you don't know what's gonna be in there instead you're buying a blind deck and not sure what's gonna be in there I guess it still has a collectible aspect to it
  • since that game just came out also fourth quarter of last year it was hot it was hard to find
  • you were you surprised by any on this list or did you think there would be someone this list that weren't on there
  • smash that like button and flip that subscribe button

Quotes (from this video)
  • the future of wargaming is going and what steps toward that future we're already seeing
  • making games is hard especially Miniatures war games
  • a game isn't successful if no one can get it
  • 3D printing miniatures from digital STL files is kind of like printing rulebook pages on your paper printer at home from your PDF files
  • most of the game companies out there especially the biggest one uh seem to kind of avoid the 3D print printing space completely
  • because of the internet and Technology specifically 3D printer technology we're starting to see a new kind of war game emerging
  • The difference was night and day the second batch printed a lot slower with the tiny nozzle which kind of makes sense but I mean like three to four times slower right but the detail was considerably higher
  • this is doing is it is selling you a more complete package than just a wargaming rule book or just some random Miniatures to use in whatever rule set you decide on
  • you will begin to see smaller Indie developers releasing more kind of complete package games like Battlefront Valkyrie
