They're brutally hard by modern standards, too. I played the first couple of missions of X-Wing recently. I think the only way to pass them is to spend your first go utterly confused at the barely-explained objectives, make careful note of why you fail, and maybe repeat that a few times.

They also need a flight stick to shine.

£50 preorder for a game that might not even be any good. You're a brave fellow.

If it is shit I will send it back.

Why not just not pre order it in the first place, what do you actually gain by doing it? Genuine question.

It'll arrive in the post and now I don't have to remember to buy it. I will probably forget I have bought it until a couple of days before.

Preordering games is unwise.

Needing to order a game months in advance because otherwise you'll forget also brings a lot of tittery to the party.

No. Buying games rarely sits high in my "stuff to do" list, so doing whilst it is at the front of my mind is the best policy. Otherwise it gets swallowed in the maelstrom of other shit that needs to get done (sort out garage roof, investigate solar panels, rewire kitchen, netrunner).
