It’s at this point that things take a turn for the worse. For every inch I gain he seems to moves ahead two more. Even with this boost however, his Interceptor is leagues faster than my sluggish Y-Wing. He speeds toward them and I follow, rerouting power from my shields into my engines. The shuttles I’ve been fighting to protect are a much more appealing target. He isn’t interested in me anymore, though. Undaunted, I turn around to give chase, firing at the TIE with my laser cannons. A laser tears through my armor, knocking out my torpedo launcher.
I veer out of its path, but it’s too late. It’s only when the fourth comes into range that my shields finally give away. I take down one fighter with a proton torpedo, followed quickly by a second and third. The TIEs come right at me and for a moment it’s just me charging headlong into an oncoming torrent of green lasers, praying my deflectors will hold. Setting my shields to double front, I turn to take them on. Our shuttles, in turn, arrive to retake the X-Wings, but they’ll need more time than the TIEs are going to give them. The Destroyer launches a squadron of TIE Interceptors to attack us. An Imperial Star Destroyer is already in the area and doesn’t take kindly to our snatching its prize away. Disabling them winds up being easy the ion cannons on our Y-Wings leave them helpless and ripe for recapture.
The Empire, using corrupted R2 units, has hijacked a trio of X-Wings and my squadron’s been sent to disable them so the pilots can be rescued and their flight data can be kept out of enemy hands. Finally re-released after years of long waiting, X-Wing is a challenging, addictive and authentic feeling Star Wars experience that more than lives up to extensive hype.
