I remember playing with the keyboard. My memory might be playing tricks with me, but at that time joystick were certainly not a standard feature of pcs. Edit:

Edit: I did use the keyboard/mouse http://wiki.rebelsquadrons.org/index.php/Xwing_Keyboard_Commands http://wiki.rebelsquadrons.org/index.php/Xwing_Keyboard_Comm... Edit2: there are two versions : the original 1993 version I played (dos based, doesn’t require a joystick) and a remake I didn’t know existed (1998, windows based ) which does require a joystick

I don't think that's true. I am almost certain the DOS version requires a joystick. And it has a huge keyboard binding list of all sorts of essential things you had to do. It absolutely was pretty unusual to require a joystick. I had to beg my parents to help pay some of the cost & I think they helped me get a classic Sidewinder 3D (Pro?). I don't even know if we had a sound card that it could plug into or if I ended up getting a sound are too for it? Plus the cost of the game... It was incredibly expensive & difficult for me to get X-Wing. But it was, like, my mission to make it happen, & eventually I did. Tie Fighter came out not long after I finally got X-Wing going & after another year or two I did manage to buy that game too!
