Summary: "Memories"....
Review: "TIE Fighter is the best space combat game ever made." - Yes, this is true. Ahh, the good old days when LucasArts was pumping out great games like this. The only negative point is that you are fighting for the evil Empire (Boooo!) but this is handled nicely by the well constructed plot. You even get to fight alongside Vader himself. What more could you ask?

Summary: One of the true all-time greats
Review: Along with such games as X-COM: UFO Defense and Civilization 2, a true classic. Why is is one of the greatest games of all time? One very simple reason. The graphics don't make the game good, the GAME-PLAY makes the game good. You get to be the bad guy, and that's always cool.
If you haven't played it, you are missing out on alot. I first played in on my big old 486 25 MHz with a whopping 8 Meg of RAM. I still have it loaded on my newest system, a 1.5 GHz 256 Meg system, with a video card that has 4 times the amount of my system RAM on that first computer.

Summary: Most awsome game I've ever played..
Review: by far. It's perfect. You get awsome gameplay, Awsome graphics (considering the game's age..), and tons of fun. This is the best space-war sim i've ever played. This is the best Star Wars game i've ever played. If you get any game, get this one.

Review: excellent. thats about the only thing to be said about Tie Fighter. Its a true simulation (not a arcade like game like Rogue Leader. which still rocks). the graphics, though dated, easily get the message through. the music is mindblowing (John Williams after all). and theres nothin gquite like watching a X-Wing shatter into a thousand tiny pieces. then the bitternes of having your own 'fighter being sheared in half because of the resulting debris. ahh, memorys, memorys...

Summary: One of the BEST classic games
Review: For 10 bucks, please buy this. That is all I can say. Back in 1997 when I played this game I was HOOKED. Its not going to blow you away with amazing graphics or sound, but its star wars. It a well done game in terms of GAMEPLAY. You dogfight with imperial ships, bomb destroyers with space rockets, and so on. It's not hard to learn the controls but i HIGHLY reccommend a joystick. Its much more fun this way. You do not need a 150 dollar professional model either, grab one for 15 bucks and have a great time. Do not expect a game of 2003, but expect to be entertained for a while! Hope this helps!

Summary: The Empire Needs You!
Review: For anyone who always rooted for the Empire this is the game for you. Stormtroopers may not be able to hit the broadside of a barn but pilots can. Seriously it's a great game that I wish they would totally update with a follow up release.

Summary: I highly recomend this game!
Review: I always loved TIE fighters and daydreamed about piloting one. And then this game came along and made my dreams come true. This is definitely the best computer game I ever played. It made me feel like I know what it's like for the pilots of the TIE craft. It made me feel that so much, that the next time I saw the scene of the four TIE fighters chasing the Millenium Falcon through the asteroid field, I felt like I was watching fellow pilots die, and I felt a remorse for the loss of my comrades. It's not that I'm that weird, it's just that this game is that GOOD!

Summary: One of Best Star Wars Sims
Review: I had this baby when it was in 3.5" disks, and I loved it (after some time one disk get damaged and actually I lost the game).
Now, enhanced for Win 9x you don't have to worry for configurating audio or damaged disks, It just play excellent and with the 3D add you get better graphics. It just couldn't be better.

Summary: These bad guys are so good....
Review: I love playing games, but when push comes to shove, I'm not very good at it. I own both X-Wing and TIE Fighter. When I play X-Wing, I always die in a fiery explosion in my first mission (once I was lucky, though, and got captured!), but TIE Fighter is so flexible in difficulty that even I have gotten pretty far. It's more interesting, too. Most Imperial fighters (and all of the classic movie ones)have no shields, so you must rely on your wits, aim, speed, and allies to keep from becoming toast, and if you run off to do secondary missions (for which you gain major brownie points with the Emperor and promotions through his secret "Order"), sometimes none of these can save you. Luckily, at least on the difficulties I played on (and it can get much harder for all you challenge junkies), it's not very easy to die or get captured even if you try (yes, I have. yes, I'm strange).
If you hate games but love Star Wars (or vice versa), this is going to convert you. If you're into games of any kind (unless you only play solitaire and mahjongg, in which case you probably are from another galaxy anyway and don't need to discover the Star Wars one), BUY THIS RIGHT NOW. You will not regret it. You'll get more fun for your money than from any other game, even the Sims or Grand Theft Auto, no matter how sophisticated your computer is (I still only have 400 MHz).
