DESCRIPTION
The Empire wants YOU. Join the ranks under Emperor Palpatine and fight on the dark side for a change. LucasArts launches the space combat simulation Star Wars: TIE Fighter, the sequel to Star Wars: X- Wing.
Start with flight training then move on to simulated dogfights before jumping into pitched battle in over 50 missions. You'll fly six Imperial fighters including the TIE fighter, TIE bomber, TIE interceptor, TIE advanced (Darth Vader's personal favorite), Assault Gunboat, and even a new, top-secret TIE model.
Face off against opposing factions such as pirates and, of course, the Rebel Alliance with its navy of X-wings, Y-wings and A-wings. Many controls aid you in your battle, such as multiple sensor functions and guided missiles. Your arsenal includes lasers, advanced missiles, bombs, torpedoes, and rockets.
Between missions an original Star Wars story unfolds, set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. View animated cut-scenes featuring the likes of Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and even the blue-skinned nemesis from Timothy Zahn's novels, Admiral Thrawn.
Success in your missions will win you prestigious medals, not to mention favor with the Emperor. Can you fly your way into his circle of trusted disciples? ~ Phil Mahoney, All Game Guide

“Tie Fighter is truly an outstanding game. I first picked this beauty up about 12 years ago at a local hobby shop called Grandmaster. Years ago they had a discount bin full of old school video games and board games at ridiculously low prices. Needless to say, I got my monies worth! This was the first computer game I had played where I could earn badges and commendations for my service to the Empire, which was outstanding! I loved every aspect of the game from the flying and fighting mechanics to the long and detailed story line. Great game, find it online and play it immediately! The graphics are very dated but the content is timeless.”

“Storyline-wise, this was the best the series had to offer. It was actually very interesting... and the game itself was extremely well done for the time. The series as a whole makes me very sad that Space Combat sims have largely died out.”
