SInce the last time I had enough time to play video games was about 20 years ago.

You know what I'm sayin' then.

This was the PC game though. You might be thinking of my favorite arcade game from the 80's:

WTF is GOG?

WTF is GOG?

Website. Used to stand for Good Old Games and is all about porting different retro games. Doesn't look like there is a Mac version.

X-wing and TIE Fighter are some of my favorite all time games. The last iteration X-wing Alliance was a masterpiece.

I played the shit out of TIE fighter. I recently revisited KOTOR on the iPad and it was just too slow and dull for me. Still sad that The Old Republic was such a flop.

Will they work on today's PC's?

I played the heck out of X-Wing. I couldn't get into Tie Fighter though, a couple of hits and you were dead. Plus Doom came out around that same time, and I started playing that...
