Star Wars Tie Fighter

[Bufoman]

Have any of you played Star Wars Tie Fighter? Its an old game- over ten years old and originaly on Floppy Disk.

 

 

 

although it was 12 years it gets a good review from me, and I found it highly addictive as well as well concived and put togeather.

 

 

 

What I would like to know is how many of you besides me have played it, did you like it? If not why? if you did why? and do you think its about time They Made a Tie Fighter 2.0?

 

 

 

the only problem I had was the lack of a joystick with which to play... sufficed to say My arm got a good workout useing the mouse. and at times the missions get downright Impossible, how Im supposed to save the Empire out numberd and Out gunned ten to one Ill never figure out. luckely the games got a Invincibility mode, although it will deduct your score in missions for it and make you less likely of gaining rank and a higher possistion within the Emperor's Circle.

I never played Tie Fighter but I played X-Wing Alliance (I think it's the rebel counterpart). That game was sooo fun but my disks are scratched beyond repair :(

xwing allience kicked arse, so much fun create a skirmish between a large ammount of fighter against a super star destroyer.

I remember I learned off the net how to control the star destroyers and any other craft yourself ( i think even the death star) ^_^

I played on Tie Fighter. I remember it being a slightly better version of X-Wing. I couldn't get very far though as my PC wasn't good enough. X-Wing owned though, awesome story line and awesome gameplay. I loved it.

WOOW, this brings back memories! :D Hell yeah I played this game, I absolutely loved it.

 

My dad bought it in the states, which was so cool (yeah I was young too).

 

 

 

I remember it installing with lots of floppies I destroyed 3 joysticks in all the years I played this game on the old P1 100mhz computer.

 

 

 

Typically a game that can be played over and over again. They don't make much games anymore that are actually replayable (imo) And the sounds when firing your weapons on the gunship you were flying... really oldskool.

 

 

 

I think I had 3 versions of the game... Tie Fighter, X-wing vs. Tie Fighter and X-wing. Allthough I could be a bit off.

 

I believe a few years ago I found the floppies again and tried to install them again, but it didn't work :(

 

 

 

Perhaps I should find the somewhere on the net *cough* and play them through Dosbox.. allthough I don't have a joystick atm. But this game is worth buying a joystick for..

 

 

 

Thanks for making this topic, brought up so many great memories :D

hmm you guy's use dos box to play it? I never got it to work on xp even with dos box. I had to run it on my costome built windows 98 machine. Built by me from spare parts of course :D

 

 

 

problem is I got no joy sticks for that computer. do any of you know how to get it to run on xp? Iv tried compatibility mood.

 

 

 

I never got the other games, I orderd it online in one of those one cent deals... yeah one cent and 3+ dollars shipping per item.

I actually haven't tried it on DOSbox yet. The last time I played it I had a small partition on a secondary hard drive with DOS 6.0 (I think) installed on it. When I wanted to play a DOS game, I went into the BIOS and switched the boot order to the other hard drive. At least I think I did. I can't remember exactly. I have a bootable FreeDOS CD sitting here as well, maybe I used that.

i remember i played rebel assault and loved it especially that mission where you have to fly the millennium falcon out of that cave :)
