Star Wars: TIE Fighter (PC 1994)

For some, Star Wars immediately brings to mind Jedi Knights and lightsabers, but let us not forget that there are many other layers to the Star Wars universe, including some serious pilots and incredible ships. For those of you who dreamt of soaring through space and blowing things to smithereens from the comfort of a cock pit, then TIE Fighter was your game of choice. Now, there have been numerous flight simulation type Star Wars games (including the X-Wing series, which was also fantastic), but TIE Fighter was the one that stood out to most as the one that made you truly feel like you were controlling your own starfighter and you got to play for Team Imperial. That’s right, you are Darth Vader’s right hand guy. TIE Fighter brought a unique twist to the flight simulator genre and gives you a good excuse to dust off your flight stick if you haven’t played it before now.
