About This Game

Space flight simulators began to boom in the late '80s and early '90s, but LucasArts arguably stole the crown with its 1994 space hit, TIE Fighter. A sequel to the well received X-Wing, this follow-up enlisted players into the galactic Empire and assigned them missions to help suppress the mutinous Rebel uprising. Playing the devil's advocate was -- and still is -- a brilliant spin on the Star Wars universe, and TIE Fighter's improved flight mechanics, combat, missions, and lengthy, involved storyline still rank it very highly among the best of the very best games ever created.
