Tie-Fighter, the sequel to LucasArts' wildly successful X-Wing, is based on the classic Star Wars series. Improved effects and an enhanced storyline could make this an even bigger seller than X-Wing. Features original Star Wars fiction, strategies, secrets, and hundreds of illustrations--including game graphics and stills from the movies.
In TIE Fighter, Lucasarts's sequel to its popular X-Wing space combat simulator, gamers finally get a chance to give into their dark side and unleash punishment on those unruly Rebels. The TIE Fighter Official Strategy Guide provides detailed descriptions of all of the missions included in the CD-ROM release of the game, with strategies, statistics and behind-the-scenes information.
Like the X-Wing Collector's CD-ROM Official Strategy Guide, most of the information is imparted in a narrative--an unusual style for a game guide and one that only a Star Wars fanatic would love. While the story does weigh things down a bit, it is filled with helpful hints and complete mission overviews. In addition, the detailed appendices feature statistics and scoring reference tables for quick perusal. Aside from the included "novelization," this is an excellent strategy guide.

ZZOOOOOMMMM!!!!:
"We have seen the end of bad gaming, we will soon see the end of the rebellion." This game is a high strategy game with enough firepower to destroy a computer! Using digital sound and lighting, a 2-D and 3-D effect blend, and amazing controlled colors and handling, this has become one of the hottest games around.
Excellent book, but where is the colour ?:
An excellent guide to an excellent game. Very detailed analysis of the mission strategy, craft data, weapons, tactics, aso. that may kill you (could have been a bit less though). An innovative idea that makes this book a bedside novel one is the short story that links each after action report (for each mission) to a plot with a lot of characters of acceptable depth, but narration and plot wise this short story lacks (as expected so this is not really a flaw). The problem here, again, is the damn colour.... more info
I think this book was very good.:
I bought this book after I had already beaten the game. I only bought it because I am a Star Wars collecter, I wouldn't normally have bought a game guide. I was reading through it, and to my surprise it was written basically in the form of a first person novel. I really enjoyed the fresh perspective of a civilian worker (Maarek Stele) on a Star Destroyer, and this book is well worth reading.
it was very........ helpful, heh heh heh:
i, being a veteran of x-wing the game, think that this is an excelent guite to tie fighter. the game is better than x-wing because there are more ships and more shooting. the guide is the best cause i cheated with it
