Although TIE Fighter had better ingame graphics, IMHO the cutscenes in X-Wing are among the best I've ever seen in a game from that time. I even made screenshots of some of them ^^. Too bad TIE fighter didn't have as many good cutscenes as X-Wing, and in later games (XvT, Alliance) they reduced them even more.

Oh how I miss those times ;-)

you can't cause it's protected by ESA.

But you can buy it.

Where can you even buy this other than hoping on Ebay?

I'd love to get a copy of Tie Fighter.

Try Google. I did a google on "buy tie fighter" and got several hits on online stores, so there seems to be a fair chance of getting at least TIE Fighter. Afterall, it is a real classic and still a popular title.

So where can i find this game since on this site is NO GO?

Oh my... I should have tears in my eyes... wasted so much of my life with this game (and TIE Fighter as well), I can't remember how many times I've finished it...

LEC won't make such game today... shame... today everyone aims for the mass entertainment, so games which require: 1) thinking, 2) reading the manual, 3) imagination to enhance immersion - are considered risky.

One of the aspects of the game that distinguish it from a 3D space shooter is that it requires "situational awareness", something that every combat pilot needs (in real world). If you simply keep shooting at nearby targets, you will miss the bomber squadron that will blow up the convoy you were supposed to protect (and instead you were dancing with enemy fighters).

This game is just like the Old Star Wars Trilogy = classic.
