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.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
I think this book was very good.,
By Nathan (Wilmington, DE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TIE Fighter: The Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
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.

Excellent book, but where is the colour ?,
This review is from: TIE Fighter: The Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
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. Please we need some, we are not colour blind. All pages in black and white is a bore to the eye for a STAR WARS epic game. It's the same mistake PRIMA did with other strategy guides of superb graphic space combat simulations (see my other reviews). All and all a very good book that guides only for the basic game (up to Campaign Seven), needs its supplyment (Balance of Power guide), offers bedside excitement and bores you to death with black and white pages (I'm not racist but...)
