Damn. I remember when this game first came out, I could blast through it on hard in my sleep... Now I can't even finish the first tour!

Honestly, A-wings with Adv. Missiles against a GUN? In the first tour? I don't remember that...

Yeah the A-Wings always get me too. As soon as I even get a laser hit on 1, 2 others have locked on Advanced Missiles firing at me.

Yeah, hard mode just whoops my ass... Especially when going after the Bonus objectives.

Let's face it, between games being easier today (with few exceptions) and us being older, the old games feel much harder than we remember.

There are some bonus objectives I never got, and I am convinced it is impossible to do so, particularly in the later missions. All primaries and secondaries isn't too bad, though.

I remember clearing the game entirely on hard and doing all the primary and secondary... and I remember repeating some missions a lot for the bonuses. Couldn't tell you for certain if I got them all or not.

I never really played on hard. I know some of the bonus objectives are different, but is it a lot harder than normal in terms of the AI pilots?

The are more objectives usually but I don't remember the dogfights being any tougher, just that there might be tougher targets in general. I have my CD still but lord knows how I dread attempting to make it work in Windows 7
