Which studio developed the 1993 space simulator Star Wars: X-Wing?

The story behind the answer

Which studio developed the 1993 space simulator Star Wars: X-Wing? Totally Games developed it.

Star Wars: X-Wing was created by Lawrence Holland’s development company, Totally Games, for LucasArts. Released in 1993, it was a space-combat simulator in which players flew starfighters for the Rebel Alliance during the period leading into and overlapping the events of A New Hope.

The game grew from Holland’s earlier experience making World War II flight simulators. Its design emphasized mission briefings, tactical objectives, power management and joystick-based piloting rather than the faster, arcade-style action common in many console games. It also helped establish the X-Wing series as one of the defining Star Wars computer-game franchises.

Totally Games is sometimes confused with LucasArts because LucasArts published the title and owned the Star Wars license. The developer, however, was Totally Games. The studio later produced TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance, extending the same space-simulation lineage.
