THE FIGHTER. The Official Strategy Guide.

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.
