:''This article is about the DOS/Windows game. For the Imperial starfighter, see [[Empire starfighters]].''

A sequel to X-wing and still considered one of the best computer space-sims over a decade since it's original release.

The TIE Fighter game places the player in the role of one of the many fighter pilots flying for the Empire in the years following the destruction of the first Death Star. Though the missions involve simple civil unrest on the Outer Rim, later missions are fought against the Rebellion and even a splinter Imperial faction which attempts a coup d'etat against the Emperor. Many notable Star Wars characters make appearances, including Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader.

An upgraded version built around the XvT graphics engine was released in 1998 but was later found to have severe issues when combined with 3D Accelerators under Windows XP. Fortunately a compatibility patch XP users was created by fans, and can be found at: http://www.lucasfiles.com/index.php?action=file&id=653
