I've played this off and on for many years and is very addicting. Can be frustrating trying to get the specific goals sometimes, but, overall, is very worth it. Aside from the others in the series, never another game like it. This is probably the best in the series. X-Wing was groundbreaking, but not quite as developed. XvsT was more for multiplayer and not a complete game. Alliance was much better technically, including graphics, but not as overall enjoyable -- different experience. Tie Fighter was the best of them all. Warning: Not completely compatible with Windows 10. Will not launch (runs in background) unless you delete/rename winmmm.dll. This allows it to run, but you lose the background music in the game.
