The first Star Wars Game I owned/installed was Star Wars TIE Fighter in 1999, the first one on floppy disks. I loved Star Wars but my parents neither had the money for a good PC, not for new games but I loved it from the very first second. Later on I got the collectors CD version and I still play that game today. I also had a Demo of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter but that was it.
This Saturday I bought the whole series on GOG and planned to finish them all in my 3 weeks vacation (but only the collectors CD versions of X-Wing and TIE Fighter, for me they are way better then the remake.

My experience with this game is almost exactly the same as LGRs, except that I was foolish enough to actually buy it.
none of my friends had it, and I was on a 33. 6 modem shared between three pcs, so online play was pretty much out of the question. I also never got around to playing balance of power until recently from GOG. Man that game was frustrating to play. It was like the Black Ops 4 of the X-wing universe, they designed it almost entirely around multiplayer and made the singleplayer mostly meaningless.

TIE Fighter was actually my first experience with the Star Wars universe. Saw it on one of my dad's coworkers computers at the computer store where he worked. I was enamored, and was given it as a birthday present. Not knowing any better, I assumed the Empire were the good guys, since you play as them. When I first saw the movies years later I recognized a TIE Fighter and realized that that game and the movie I was watching were related. However I was very confused why the good guys were fighting against the Empire.

I really fail to see what they didn't make the missions from Xwing and Tie Fighter Wars playable? Imagine playing a Cooperative campaign as the Empire and perhaps mixing it up some of the rebel ships controlled by other Human players? I remember being hugely disappointed with XvT, it felt more like a tech demo than a full fledged game.
Its like hey guys we added some textures to models from our older games and couldn't be bothered making any new missions. The entire thing lacked the charm of the previous games.

Xvt sucked balls compared to tie fighter. I was massively disappointed. I only played it again when the Blance of power expansion released. But it was still ony 30 missions, which should have been included in the original game in the first place. And you coud see it was still a quick emergency fix. It still lacked the mission briefing with the map. And no voices. And the intrigue and athmosphere of the secret order with secondary objectives like tie fighter was totally gone. Mostly bad memmories of this game.

X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter is the best game ever. Reboot. nahh because it will be ruin by the current idiots in EA. because they will just change in a bad bad way. This was made great by then great Lucasarts. No leave this alone. FYI I play this still today and I love this more than Battlefront2. goes to show that fancy graphic can not beat great gameplay. Especially Balance of Power is amazing with the Single Player campaign.

-HELP! Am I the only one getting NO Sound for this video? ANYONE PLEASE let me know if your getting sound from this video? I'm pretty sure I've had this issue before, but every other video & everything else on my PC, like games etc are working fine, just this video has NO sound at all! I'm wondering if maybe my PC is in Mono instead of Stereo or something, but I would still think I would get some sound. -

Went thrifting today and found this for $2 Australian! No box but both the discs are perfect so whatever. Not sure if Balance of power is on there so definitely something I'll need to look into as is patching in Glide support for my Voodoo 2: D And if it doesn't like my $12 Force Feedback pro I can use my $5 Precision Pro instead. Thank's for making those Thrifting videos, Man I love thifting!

Really? Your local library had _video games_ you could check out? And relatively recent ones for the time at that? Dayum. Wish I had libraries that cool in the areas I'd lived. It was a big treasure trove when I discovered a bunch of text adventure games on a disk I could copy and play at home years ago. but those were like at least a decade out of date at that point.
