The sequel to Star Wars: X-Wing, and the first Star Wars game in which you play the side of the Empire, Star Wars: TIE Fighter is a flight simulation and space shooter. As a member of TIE Fighter Group Alpha, your mission is to destroy the Rebel repair yard near Remitik in preparation for the attack on Hoth at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. The game is full of familiar space vehicles, voices and sound effects, and includes some of the score from the Star Wars movies. Gameplay is similar to other 3D space shooters like Wing Commander, in that you can call members of your squadron to defend you, attack a specific target, and generally lead a squardron of fighters. Only one mission is playable in the shareware demo.
