The soundtrack on the CD version was ass. It was little more than re-hashed scores from the movies. However the floppy disc version is where it is at! I highly recommend everyone try the original floppy disc version. The graphics are not as great, but then music ques when certain events happen are astonishing.
This is one of the best space simulators out there period. The story was good, the combat was great, the AI was decent, the music was incredible (and reactive music with iMUSE). There is really very little wrong with that game. The only problem is that they did not make any more :(
Better than Rogue Squadron?! Better than ALL Star Wars flight games, maybe with the exception of Xwing since I guess it's up to preference on what you want to fly.
Hell, fuck Hawx this game trumps it still. It manages to have a story and many craft that actually handle differently from eachother.
I think the music is awesome. I like to leave it on. Still, I wish I could find a way to turn it down. For me even if I set the slider down to 1 point it still sounds very loud compared to the other game sounds. o_o
You forgot to mention the great 98 page manual that was all done in a 'story mode' type way like a real training manual!!!
Just ordered the Tie Fighter Strategy Guide for $7 including shipping - all 550 pages of it - so that will be an excellent addition to my collection! :)
The best video game I ever played in my life. Hands down. It stole my heart

Ahh the glory days of TIE Fighter... I should see if I can scrounge up an old DOS collector's edition CD-ROM and get it to run with DOSBox.

@tatripp Me too, if only Factor 5 were still around they would probably be the only studio capable of doing justice to Tie Fighter.

There's a new one in progress from the fans for the fans: Fate of the Galaxy. :)
