- While Disney is talking up the new Star Wars merchandise for 'Force Friday' let's rewind to 1994 and look at what is arguably the best Star Wars game - TIE Fighter. A game for the PC which didn't shy away from escort missions which are often derided in modern games. It still stands up well today, and honestly the games deserve a proper remake.

I wish.. I WISH.. they would bring these games back with modern day graphics. I spent so much time playing these games back in the 90's
An elegant game for a more civilized age
My god, this game was nuts. Trying to take out nebulon b frigates with a simple tie was so damn fun.
Okay, how many people spent hours practicing to do the ultimate 'omfg' optional goal: Sweeping the big minefield in a Tie Interceptor.
X-wing and Tie fighter games made me feel I was actually part of the battles from the movie... full of joy in the 90's... I remember the hardest, trickiest mission of all: The Trench
I spent SO MANY hours playing this and X-Wing back in the day. It was such an advance over the Wing Commander games and they were amazing in themselves.
yeah, one of the best games ever.
Shortly before Tie Fighter came I recall an article that touched on the vulnerability of the Tie's and how that might carry over from X-Wing. LucasArts, from the get go, had no intention of tweaking the Tie's. They were expendable and you had to deal with that. Lucas Arts was solid in the early-mid 90's. They created some of the most engaging games I have played.
Oh how I loved this game. This series and wing Commander and MechWarrior were some of the best games ever made. Kids these days have no idea how shallow and lame their games are.
I loved this game back in the day. It was so much more fun than X-wing, simply because it was so easy to dogfight the rebels. Even with no shields you ran circles around the x-wings. Too much fun. A shame nothing like this exists today.
"Alright, Gamma 1, show us how a great pilot clears a minefield!"
Designer: So how many epic missions do you want in the storyline?
Me: builds a very powerful gaming pc
Title says it all, fucking awesome game. No space combat game to date can best this.
Yeah I played the hell out of X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, they were definitely badass games. I also loved how you could record your battles and then go and watch them back, observing from any perspective you liked. That was pretty awesome.
This is the first game I played with a joystick on a PC :D I had this old Microsoft Sidewinder 3D or something, one of the ancient ones. Lovely game, thanks for covering it Mr. Manley! :D
The "Training Simulator" was just an arcadey tunnel thing, but the Combat Chamber provided a series of very well-made guided tutorials that I'd highly recommend to anyone starting out with this game.
Sooooo many good memories of this game!
Absolutely love Tie Fighter! This is the first time we got a glimpse of Coruscant. Absolutely a huge geek out moment!
