TIE Fighter: Total Conversion (TFTC) - A full conversion of a classic game into the 1999 X-Wing Alliance (XWA) engine gets a release!

Back in the day, TIE Fighter was one of the best games in the PC space sim genre... and a Star wars game at that! Excellent graphics, brilliant dogfight mechanics and great mission design as the sequel to the original X-Wing and a prequel to the excellent late 90's X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter .Well today brings us even more hot news, especially for fans of Star Wars and the 1994 LucasArts game TIE Fighter. As AngelTFTC has released the eagerly awaited TIE Fighter: Total Conversion (TFTC); the original classic 1994 LucasArts game TIE Fighter as a full and rather impressive conversion into the 1999 X-Wing Alliance (XWA) engine.

As noted by the description : "The TIE Fighter Total Conversion (TFTC) project is aimed at porting the original classic 1994 LucasArts game TIE Fighter, into the 1999 X-Wing Alliance (XWA) engine. Based on the original TFTC from 2005 and built upon the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade project, this is a complete overhaul of the game from graphics to gameplay. All 13 battle campaigns and their training missions have been ported over along with 8 Reimagined battle campaigns, taking advantage of the much better XWA engine and imagining how TIE Fighter could've been had the technology of the time not limited it"

Main Features :

  • A full port of all the Classic TIE Fighter missions, including the expansions Defender of the Empire and Enemies of the Empire - a total of 76 campaign missions + the 28 original Training missions. This includes all the original voiceovers and cutscenes.
  • A Reimagined campaign of the first 8 Battles of TIE Fighter. These take the original missions, expand upon them for more ships, bigger battles or in some cases completely build new missions out of them but retaining the same overall narrative and story points of the original Classic. This campaign includes 37 fully playable campaign missions + 4 updated training scenarios.
  • That's a total of 145 unique missions between both the Classic and Reimagined versions!
  • Enjoy the amazing updated visuals for the X-Wing Alliance engine made possible by the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade project (XWAU), bringing this 22 year old game into the modern era of graphics.
  • VR Support, again thanks to the XWAU project.
  • Enjoy a fully remastered TIE Fighter soundtrack or even load up the old original MIDI soundtrack if you're feeling more nostalgic!
  • Rank up, collect memorabilia and earn medals in your pilot room as you progress!
