I used to be pretty handy on the Star Wars arcade game (1983).
How far back does your fighter piloting go?
June 2020
Ever since Battlefront 2015. Most of the straighter maps were fun then

Erm. Battlefront II. I fell in love during the beta and Starfighter Assault is one of my most played modes (if not the most played) in the game I loved it so much I actually bought a dedicated flight game (I think Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown) and I'm not terrible, apparently. I suck at playing as a trooper for the most part, I suck at playing as a hero (at least in the large-scale modes, I'm a little better at Heroes vs Villains) but I'm ok in sky/space. And the first person mode doesn't seem to give me motion sickness, unlike 50% of the FPS shooters I've played :P Which is strange, because with all the upside-down spins and turns I imagined it would be worse, but eh.
So I'm not the most experienced pilot, but I enjoy it and I'm far from the worst in Starfighter Assault. I feel like I'm one of the few people who don't crash into all the debris at Endor, so thats a thing.

I don't remember messing with the arcade game, but definitely the X-wing vs Tie Fighter PC games back in the 90's.

I still play X-Wing Alliance on occasion. Great game!

I definitely went wayyy back to that... though the game I spent the most time on were the X wing battles in the arcade version from the late 90's / early 2000's. PLayed X-wing vs Tie fighter and even the fighter PvP in SWTOR.

Star Wars Atari Arcade (as per the picture from OP. I was born '85 and have loved Star Wars and Star Wars Gaming for as long as I can remember. Any time I went to an arcade in early 90's and they had that game, I was on it. Second to that, I still play XvT BoP to this day (And X-Wing Alliance)
