This post is going to be almost entirely off topic as I was asked a few days back for any more scans I had on the X-Wing series and I thought I ought to share them on here while I was at it. I didn’t need too much incentive to look up info on some of my favourite games although the offer of a donation towards the collection didn’t hurt. I’ve already spent the money appropriately which was never going to be a problem. Half went on a copy of Man On A Mission which incidentally is available to international buyers at about $10 less than Amazon.com at DVD Pacific, and with cheaper postage. They are also selling Wing Commander Academy at a better price so I swapped my pre-order for that while I was at it. The other half of the money went on a copy of A Mind Forever Voyaging which is one of those classics that I’ve wanted for years but it’s rare to see it at a decent price.

Onto the scans anyway. I’ve not read most of these myself yet so it’s just going to be a long list of where I got them from. They are in the order I scanned them which is more or less newest to oldest starting with a Star Wars games supertest from the September 1999 PC Zone:-
