Star Wars: TIE Fighter (Wikipedia)
Star Wars: TIE Fighter, a 1994 space flight simulator/space combat computer game, is the sequel to Star Wars: X-Wing, and the first game of the series that puts the player on the side of the Galactic Empire.
A notable improvement in TIE Fighter is the flight engine, which supports Gouraud shading, an effect that makes curves and mass appear more realistic. There are many flight options added, like flight dialogues and messages, a message log, a list of objectives, ships' status and behaviour, a three dimensional heads-up display, a sub-target system, the ability to match speed with a target, and other improvements. TIE Fighter is regarded by many as the best title in the series and one of the most successful space flight simulator games.
A Look Back at Tie Fighter (SWTORHub)
Released in 1994, Tie Fighter was the sequel to X-Wing and followed the events of that previous game and its expansions. Unlike the other games in the series, the player finally got to play on the coolest side - the Empire! The player starts as a lowly Tie Fighter pilot and attempts to rise in rank by playing through seven tours of duty and perhaps even join the Emperor's inner circle.
