Star Wars: Tie Fighter (Jewel Case) Reviews
Great story, amazing flight sim action, the music though old and midi took you right into the star wars universe. Dark Forces, Rebel Assault I and II. You actually feel like a pilot for the empire. The graphics are dated, but really gameplay is always what makes or breaks a game. All but i couldnt find my tie fighter disc, the best of them all I always thought. Now when im 23 i still remember how i loved to play this game. X-wing. And am very excited for it to come in.
But as luck would have it ive discovered a dos 486 machine emulator. [.]. You can have the best looking game ever and if the gameplay sucks so does the game. I had it when i was a little kid. Well this game was way fun.
So i just ordered myself yet another copy of tie fighter collecters CD rom. I loved this game. Well ive ran all my old dos games on this that i thought i would never be able to play again, and they run perfectly. Well i was really disapointed a few years ago when my new pc just wouldnt play the game. Its called DOSBOX and you can get it here for free.
It was too new to support the sound for this game.
Why Microsoft. I absolutely loved this game back when it was released. How I wish Lucas Arts would join with Microsoft to create an updated version with multplayer capability (no online pay-for-play Bantha Poodoo). Tie Fighter, as I recall, had fun missions, sneaky side missions (usually for the Emperor), and plenty of dogfighting. Because most of their old games still run on my PC. Sadly, it won't function with my current operating system (this is even true for some of my newest Lucas Arts software purchases). Why would that be, hmmm.
Anybody looking for a good action romp will not be disappointed. Plus, this game is not just for the diehard gamers. Everybody has something to love about this classic game. "Star Wars" fans should get into this right away.
Fans of flight games will delve into the spacecraft with glee, as there are multiple functions that the player must use to the fullest, whether it's in combat or in those tight defensive situations. I always loved this game, but the reason that I call this the greatest game ever is because it has passed the test of time remarkably well.
I know I've made a bold statement in claiming this game to be the ultimate experience, but you won't find a better PC or console game anywhere else. There are intense combat scenarios, missions that require non-aggressive plans (inspections.escorts), and really well-done in-game scripting.
There are easy tutorials that don't feel tedious, but instead really grip the player, and build a feeling of confidence once he/she chooses to fly in the awesome missions. Now, you will need a flight controller or joystick to play this game, as the mouse and keyboard don't seem to do it for today's computers.
But then again, this was 1995.no game had the breathtaking cinemas that today's PC games do. Basically, the complexity of most strategy games is taken care of for you, and you can just jump right in and complete your objectives without task-managing.
Don't miss out on this classic. The story is good, but doesn't have the top-of-the-line production as games do today.
I was not impressed with the product, it was too old to play on the new computers.
If you hate games but love Star Wars (or vice versa), this is going to convert you. You'll get more fun for your money than from any other game, even the Sims or Grand Theft Auto, no matter how sophisticated your computer is (I still only have 400 MHz). Luckily, at least on the difficulties I played on (and it can get much harder for all you challenge junkies), it's not very easy to die or get captured even if you try (yes, I have. I own both X-Wing and TIE Fighter. Most Imperial fighters (and all of the classic movie ones)have no shields, so you must rely on your wits, aim, speed, and allies to keep from becoming toast, and if you run off to do secondary missions (for which you gain major brownie points with the Emperor and promotions through his secret "Order"), sometimes none of these can save you.
It's more interesting, too. You will not regret it. yes, I'm strange). If you're into games of any kind (unless you only play solitaire and mahjongg, in which case you probably are from another galaxy anyway and don't need to discover the Star Wars one), BUY THIS RIGHT NOW. I love playing games, but when push comes to shove, I'm not very good at it.
When I play X-Wing, I always die in a fiery explosion in my first mission (once I was lucky, though, and got captured)., but TIE Fighter is so flexible in difficulty that even I have gotten pretty far.
