Hey pilots, time to brush up your joysticks

...and see if your GS skills apply to the non-RPG like piloting world !

 

The gorgeous TIE Fighter and X-Wing are on GOG.

 

- You are despearate to see a game in which the Empire is competent ? TIE Fighter is for you ! (mumble about wingmen being as useful as stromtroopers, but....)

 

-As for the Alliance, X-WING shows you what it is to be a pilot without plot armor ! (Hint : with a mission so hard that it ended up being the in-universe Kobayashi Maru scenario equivalent)

You end up shooting more Rebels scum starfighters in TIE Fighter than the whole Empire in either Legends or Canon.

 

(Seriously : with all the missions, it's easy to rake up a few hundred rebel starfighters and a double-digit count of warships above corvettes)

Sorry but what's GOG?

 

And well you reminded me fond memories....

Great Old Games.

 

Summary : GOG offers you (for a price) versions of old games that are modded to work without any fuss on a modern computer, without DRM and without more Trojans than in the Illiad.

Please note here that if you have a TIE-Fighter CD and managed to make it work, this news means nothing to you. If you struggle with making it work with a modern computer, have no sound or no joystick support and do not wish to go to places more filled with nasty viruses than a Zeltron couguar bordello, then this means you can play or replay TIE Fighter.

I have been dreaming of an updated version of tie fighter for years now. I know it is most likely just nostalgia but the x-wing tie fighter series were the finest flight simulators I have ever seen. Galactic Starfighter made me hopeful and while there is nothing wrong with the expansion and it is great in and of itself I made the mistake of hoping for something comparable to Tie fighter. That was too much, I admit, to hope for in an expansion of SWTOR, but a fella can dream right?

You are certainly not alone. Maybe the 3rd SW MMO will get it right, along other stuff too.

 

But well we already had 2 half backed SW themed MMO, so starting to worry about the next one.
