There is literally no need at all to have X2 and Reunion if you're buying Terran Conflict.

Well, I think there should be some caveats to that statement. If you haven't played X before, or only had X3: Reunion, then the 'Superbox' may not be your best bet. Even being one of X's biggest fanboy, I have to admit that the interface on the earlier X titles would probably leave newbies baffled and frustrated. The games themselves are still good, and they fill in some of the backstory, but that might not be a good enough reason to go full-bore on the 'Superbox'...

However, if you have played the earlier X's and are a big fan of them, then the 'Superbox' might be a good deal to maybe fill in the gaps in your collection. The add-on xTension for the original X is a personal favorite of mine and is extremely hard to find. Also, if you've never played X but were curious and think you can handle the interface learnng curve (at least it's not as bad as Battlecruiser...*shudder*), the price is pretty reasonable for the whole package...

If you read the newest newsletter:

X-Universe News 41

It says that there are some other goodies included in the 'Superbox', besides just the older games themselves, so that might be something to look into if you are on the fence about buying the whole thing. Either way, whether you just buy X3TC or the whole 'Superbox', you can't go wrong for the price. There's a lot of hours entertainment for very little cost and there's really no other game like it...
