Fans of the Star Wars space sim have waited a long time for something like Star Wars: Squadrons to come around. Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike in 2003 was the last game to focus mostly on the space battles of the Star Wars universe. That game was a good last hurrah for this type of game. It was a bit too arcadey to fit into what old-head fans of games like X-wing Vs. TIE Fighter of the late 1990s, though. Based mostly on a few seconds of footage from a trailer released today fans of this corner of the Star Wars universe long neglected by video games finally have hope.

Since it’s been such a long wait for a new game some fans piloting skills may have been dulled by time away from the old Thrustmaster. Here are a few suggestions to sharpen players’ skills while they wait for Squadrons.

X-wing Alliance

All the games about piloting a starfighter in the Star Wars universe fall somewhere on a spectrum between arcade and simulation gameplay. 1999s X-wing Alliance represents the simulation of the simulation end of that spectrum. The game retains the core gameplay of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games and expands that formula to a wider variety of ships than those previous games. Alliance also lets players create custom missions in addition to the story missions.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D

On the more arcadey side of the spectrum sits the Rogue Squadron and Starfighter series of games. Of these two, Rogue Squadron is generally the better-regarded series. Within that series the second game, Rogue Leader is probably the best game. That game was a Gamecube exclusive and has never made the jump to PC, though. Anyone who wants to revisit the series now will need to settle for the PC version of the first game in the series Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D or dig up a working Gamecube and disc for a nineteen-year-old game.

That’s about it in terms of games set in the Star Wars universe. There have been games about piloting spaceships made without the Star Wars license in the last seventeen years, though. Most of these games are readily available in a version that doesn’t require someone to fuss with compatibility settings too.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

In the spirit of the more arcadey side of the Star Wars games is last year’s, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. While the game lacks the grandeur of most of the stories told by the Star Wars games, it definitely measures up in terms of gameplay. Outlaw also suffers a bit in comparison to the older titles because the ship design, while cool, are neither X-Wings nor TIE Fighters.

Elite Dangerous

If all the games on this list exist on the spectrum between Arcade and Simulation gameplay, then Elite Dangerous is way over by itself on the sim side. Playing Elite and only focusing on combat actually ignores a lot of aspects of the game. It comes closer to the classic X-Wing games.

One of these games should tide you over until Star Wars: Squadrons comes out.
