You should go to Amazon.com and look up the 3D enhanced version of Tie Fighter for Win95, it's dirt cheap, (I paid just 12$ or so for mine, complete with the 3D enhanced Xwing as a bonus). Look for the Xwing Collectors Series, and be sure to pick the one that specifically says it includes Tie Fighter if this is something you're interested in.
It's well worth the cost, and gives you the same great gameplay you're used to, but with far better graphics. Just an opinion.

Not only did I figure out how to fix the problem a while ago (thanks anyway :happy: ), but I have only one thing to say regarding the remake: terrible. Redbook audio is relies on the CD being in the drive, and worse, it isn't dynamic. Overall the remake isn't anywhere as immersive as the original... it's been a long while since I played it, so I can't come up with exact reasons, all I remember is that they changed far, far too much for my tastes.

I'd have been all for it if all they'd done is updated the graphics, but the static, redbook audio music and all the... something... changes, really, seriously turned me off.

Ah yes, I remember there is also the fact that the remake often mixes resolutions, often jumping from 320x200 to 640x480 and back again. This makes for a jarring experience.

No thank you, remake. I'll take the original anyday.

I think the original jumped resolutions too if you ran the flight sim part at 640x480. I totally agree about the dynamic MIDI vs static Redook music though.

You can play the flight part in 640x480? I never knew that! Where is the option (not that I can increase the cycles any further without having choppy sound and music)?

It's in the graphical config utility I think. Only works in the DOS version of TIE Fighter (possibly only the CD-ROM version), not X-Wing as far as I know.

Wow... I have never seen that option in either X-Wing or TIE Fighter... then again, I only play the original floppy disk versions.

Thanks,

Know what you mean about the music, I do sometimes miss the original music, but once I start playing, I don't notice it anymore. (Odd that, since I'm pretty fussy about stuff like that usually, but guess we're all different that way).
Anyway, glad you got it running either way, have some fun! And if you see an Xwing coming, wave, it may just be me. 😉
