The last iteration of X-Wing or Tie Fighter was for Window 95. It had some issues playing on Win98 and basically refused to run on Windows XP.

I recall looking into running these games on Windows XP a while back and reading something about how Lucasarts thinks it would take too much to update the code to run on a direct x based system or something (they run on that adlib stuff -- whoa old school).
