Ever since this was announced I have been feeling a keen sense of nostalgia over the old X-wing and TIE fighter video games. In fact, one of the first things I did was put my X-wing vs. TIE fighter CD-rom in my CD player to play the music. Sure, I could listen to any Star Wars music, but the CD-rom includes only the music that was played in the game. Boy, it takes me back. I'm just wondering if anybody else knew that, and I thought I'd share. If you have X-wing vs. TIE fighter, pop it in you CD player and give it a listen!

P.S. You have to start from track 2 because track 1 is a never-ending blank track.

For those who no longer have/never had that disc, you might check out the tracks on the following discs of the (latest) re-released soundtracks:

Episode IV, Disc 1

• 3.  Imperial Attack

Episode IV, Disc 2

• 2.  The Millennium Falcon/Imperial Cruiser Pursuit

• 10.  The Battle of Yavin

• 4. The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor
• 5. The Battle of Hoth
• 6.  The Asteroid Field

• 7. The Pit of Carkoon/Sail Barge Assault
• 9. Alliance Assembly

Episode VI, Disc 2

• 3. Brother and Sister/Father and Son/The Fleet Enters Hyperspace (after 7:23)
• 5. The Battle Of Endor I
• 7. The Battle Of Endor II (2:57 - 3:31) 
• 8. The Battle Of Endor III (thru 1:55, then 4:27 thru end)

Yeah, I used to keep TIE Fighter in my car for the audio tracks.

That first "track" is the game data, which yields a horrible screeching in my CD player.

Excellent play list!  I've already put it in iTunes. 

Nice to see someone else who likes thematic music when they play :)

Wow. You never cease to amaze me. Above and beyond the call of duty right there. Thanks for posting!

The Battle of Yavin is the ultimate X-wing music I think.  I love listening to that track.  I tend to bob and weave a bit in my chair while listening to it. 

Thanks,

Duncan
