I'll have you know I still save my old "piett.tfr" gamesave file (every time I switch computers) containing all my experiences, from cadet to general, up to the last campaign in "Tie Fighter: Collector's Edition" which ties (no pun intended) together "Tie Fighter", "Defender Of The Empire" and "Enemies Of The Empire". Ooh, those burning A-Wings...
I still haven't finished the game, after five years, and the windows-files of today refuses to give me enough memory to play it again. Besides, it's hard to go back to 640x480 after you've played 1024x768 in "X-Wing Alliance"...
Otherwise I think "Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight" did more for the genre than DF:I did, although I loved that too. "Surrender Immediately!!!" "You Are In Violation Of Imperial Law!!!" (They never had time to finish that last sentence)

Then I envy you for not having played it yet. I hope you have some sort of 3d-card 'cause those games look so much better, and runs faster too.
The Obi-Wan game coming up soon looks really sweet, with a totally revised model build-up and animation system (plus nicer sabres) so should you pick it up, I hope you finish MotS first, for the difference inherent may kill old motsy right in your arms. I think I'm starting to experience that with Diablo 2 vs. 1, I'm afraid.

X-Wing: Alliance rules (gotta love taking out two VSDs and an ISD single-handedly; not to mention knocking out the Executor's shield generators...). Jedi Knight rules. DF ruled in its day. MotS would have been good if they'd used another character, 'cause that AIN'T Mara.
Still waiting to get my hands on "Rebellion"...

"Tie Fighter: Collector's Edition" and "X-Wing Alliance" are the best!
I really love the TIE Defender and the Missile boat.

It was great that they didn't give you a lightsabre in the beginning of JK. I almost got goosebumps the first time I switched it on in Kyle's father's house. (Not the lawyer)
I also remember the first time I dropped down from an air vent, sabre ready, on a group of four stormtroopers passing by. Took out everyone in one big "secondary-fire"sweep, only two of them was quick enough to turn around. Limbs everywhere!
First time I played JK I went for "Good Jedi" and didn't touch any npc's. Second time, well let's just say a whole new world opened up. Starting with that cranky bartender! Yeah, the dark side can be seductive, allright...
What of you, Vanguard? And isn't your name from "Tie Fighter" also? Along with the ISDs Ardent and Implacable?

Well, my favorite would have to be Tie Fighter, and yes one of Thrawn's command ships was the Vanguard. Of course Jedi Knight would be a close second, although I was slightly dissapointed with MotS (although I loved the sniper rifle).

i think TIE fighter was the best game ever! From the first minute i saw it and played it i was hooked. only my copy was corrupted, and i was stuck on the one level where you have to save the TIE defenders and one of the ferries wouldn't go to hyper.
