About the game

X-Wing Fighter (1982) for DOS takes its place in the VG90 index as one more thread in the story of the early cartridge-and-arcade boom, kept here for readers researching the period.

By 1982 the landscape around releases like this was set — the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. Reading X-Wing Fighter against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the early cartridge-and-arcade boom produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
