Star Wars: TIE Fighter Collector's CD (DOS, LucasArts) mission capture including briefing and debriefing. You must guard the Tropsobor (Robosport!) and its delivery of TIE Avenger fighters. Evil rebels will attempt to foil your Emperor's glorious war efforts while your Admiral does something suspicious...

A relatively long mission and I went for a few of the bonus objectives too.

This is Star Wars: TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM for DOS. It has the interactive MIDI, two mission packs, lots of voice, and "high-res" 640x480 graphics (up from 320x200 in the original). No 3D acceleration though. That came with X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.

This was played in DOSBOX. I used a soundfont with my Audigy card to enhance the MIDI music.

I recorded 2 high quality music tracks from the gameplay.

You are obviosly playing at 640X480...

How do you manage to do it.. i have a Core2Duo oced to 3.3Ghz and i run this in DosBox and all goes ok until some craft appear on screen at wich point frame rate slows down a lot.. i try increasing cycles..but there is a point where performance decreases with more cycles..

Any light on what config you use on DOsBOX?

[swaaye]

check in dosbox.conf in the joystick section for "timed=true". That either needs to be set to true or false (can't remember) or the controls go crazy.

[sparrowlt]

Well , that was a big improvement.. frame rate still drops some but now it goes quite a lot better and its actually playable.. tought asd for now i have to add up to 60.000 cycles to make it playable with several craft on screen.. im using a frontend.. so maybe i should use dosbox directly with the conf file..

Now i have to learn how add that rich MIDI enviroment.. downloading SGM-v2.0 :D (hope it brings some FAQ on how using it)

[swaaye]

I don't use a frontend with Dosbox so I can't help there. It's not that hard to just use it directly. Feels more hands-on and DOS like. You shouldn't need to set cycles manually, at least not with straight Dosbox because it detects the max cycles your comp can handle.

Also, to use that SGM soundfont you'll need an Creative Audigy or SB Live!.

Nice video. That mission is quite annoying if you want to achieve all the bonus goals.

Tie Fighter is my favourite game, I got it as a kid when it first came out and I still play it! You might want to try and get ahold of the "X-wing Collector's series" version of Tie Fighter. They remodelled all of the inflight graphics so it looks alot nicer! ;)

[swaaye]

I bought every edition of the game except the "X-Wing Trilogy" release because it's the same as the Collector's Series version.

I actually prefer the DOS Collector's Edition release (one in the vid) because it is what I played the most, it has the awesome MIDI soundtrack (removed in later releases), and it's actually the easiest to get working.

For the love of God - someone over at Lucasarts touch this game up for the present day please - the best space sim hands down - no need to tweak the gameplay - just a nice facelift would be nice.

If only LucasArts was capable of making games like this anymore. Instead they give us trash like Rebel Strike and Jedi Academy.

Even The Force Unleashed despite all the money poured into it, was only average at best.

[AnotherSchmoe]

I have the Collector's CD of these games and they have the .WAV music files, which sound really good but get a little old after awhile (just regular Star Wars tracks on loop). I wish they had the option to switch between them and these cool MIDI tracks. I can't run TIE Fighter in DOSBox on my computer because it runs too slow in emulation (8 year old XP machine). X-Wing works for some strange reason though. Oh well I'll just play the collector's versions in Win95 compatibility mode. :P

[Significantpower]

@XxChalksterxX The level design was subpar, the story (and especially the main character) was awful compared to the earlier games and it did nothing to stand out or make up for these flaws.

[XxChalksterxX]

@Significantpower How is hedi Academy "Trash"?! Sure it didn't have a super good story but everything else about it was great!

[TangFiend]

Best PC game of all time, srsly Lucasarts remake this game. Get it together already.

[Greenstang02]

What a game, i cant play it now anymore because my wife will kill me.

I remember that i achieve all mission at hard, mission objectives (primary, secondary and bonus) but there was only one mission that i was not able to get the bonus, and i thinked at the time that there was a bug. A hint i would share is that on many missions, they sent you waves of tie advance, but kill only 2 of 3 and ''play'' with the third, this way no new waves will be sent until the third one is destroyed.

2 Rebel pilots hated this video

[KrassoSzoreny]

Have you not noticed that cap-ships don't fire their turrets when you run this game at max or auto cycles? Kinda unbalances the game, and is an issue I'm still trying to solve...

[AlphaGodDamn4]

This game has so deeply ingrained itself in my psyche that I still have dreams about it, 10 years since playing it. No lies.

Thank you for uploading!

What are you doing? Flying in circles?

[pefjavier]

Some times Mouse can help with precision shots, Imagine a remake of this game with cooperative mode play?? I want my team alpha Mu or beta
