STAR WARS™: TIE Fighter Special Edition

An excellent blast(er) from the past.

Easily one of my favourite games of all time. I spend hours playing this game back in the 90s. The missions are hard. There's not a lot of spoon feeding. You are piloting a flying eggshell and you feel it. That being said, it never feels unfair. There is an inflight recorder to "tape" your missions to see where you went wrong. The combat, the flight mechanics, the ships, the story...they all feel RIGHT. As for the extras, please don't ignore these. The Steele Chronicles is a novella based on your character. Gives great background insight on to what's going on. Also, the strategy guide acts as a continuation of the story. I remember having a VERY hard time not reading ahead because I didn't want the missions spoiled, but the story was SO GOOD. Thank you GOG for getting this gem on your site. It was an insta-buy (literally. I pulled over my car at 7AM on the drive to work to buy it the second it was available).
