This is the first non-arcade post you've ever made that's got me excited, G.E.

Yeah, been watching the counter impatiently... :)
I hope they do run on modern OSes without issue... I have all the originals but would be nice to have copies that I don't have to jump through hoops to get them to work. Now they need to release X-Wing Alliance!

I read a review and it has concerns about the music. Anyone try it yet? "the game comes in two flavors, the original DOS version, and the Windows remake. I haven't played the remake, but it's my understanding that they dumped the iMuse music system, which used dynamic MIDI scoring to alter the soundtrack based on what was happening. You will probably get sharper graphics in the Windows version, but the music will no longer be context-sensitive, and that was a BIG part of what made the game such an experience. I'd suggest trying the DOS version first, to see how well it works for you. I found the graphics to be perfectly acceptable in 2011, so try it out."
