Oh, wow. I loved these games when they were new.

May need to find a modern HOTAS setup and immerse myself in these.

Really excited to give this a go! Being able to merge the two versions together is a killer feature.

Very nice. Looking forward to irritating the Empire again as a new recruit [1].

On a more serious note, there's also a really great conversion that ports the original TIE Fighter over to the later X-Wing Alliance engine [2].

And of course if you need copies of the originals, they still sell them over on GOG (Good Old Games).
