'''Star Wars: TIE Fighter''' is the [[1994]] sequel to the previous year's [[Star Wars: X-Wing|X-Wing]] [[flight simulation]], taking that game's original mechanics and improving on almost every aspect of them. This time you play the part of a pilot in the Imperial Navy, marking the first time a Star Wars game has put you in the role of the bad guys.
'''Star Wars: TIE Fighter''' was devloped by [[Totally Games]] and released in [[1994]] as a sequel to the previous year's [[Star Wars: X-Wing|X-Wing]] [[flight simulation]] game. This time you play the part of a pilot in the Imperial Navy, marking the first time a Star Wars game has put you in the role of the bad guys.
 
While the game engine was based on that of the original X-Wing, it boasts enhanced graphics with Gouraud shading, interactive mission briefings, goal-oriented missions (including secret bonuses) and pilot dialogue while in flight which furthers the story as you play.


The game was released later as a Collector's CD-ROM edition which included full voice acting for all the dialogue and higher resolution graphics. It was re-released again for Windows systems and ran on the [[Star Wars: X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter|X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter]] game engine which had a complete graphics overhaul.
