Star Wars: TIE Fighter is a combat space flight simulation set in the Star Wars universe, developed by Totally Games and published by LucasArts for DOS and MacOS in 1994, and later Windows and Linux. It is a sequel to the previous year's X-Wing, based on its game engine but boasting enhanced graphics with Gouraud shading, interactive mission briefings, goal-oriented missions (with secret Bonus Goals) and pilot dialogue in flight furthering the story as you play.

The game was released later that year as a Collector's CD-ROM edition which included full voice acting for all dialogue and higher resolution graphics. It was re-released again for Windows and ran on the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter game engine, which had a complete graphics overhaul.

Story[edit | edit source]

The game takes place after the destruction of the main rebel base on Hoth at the beginning of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. The player is training as a pilot for the Imperial Navy, flying six starfighter missions in the Combat Chamber and seven Battles against the Rebel Alliance, to eradicate them and restore law and order to the galaxy!
