It can be hard going back to play a game you loved years ago. Sometimes nostalgia is strong enough to overlook things like aging graphics, tinny sound, and fewer of the features we’ve become accustomed to with modern games. But sometimes no matter how much you enjoyed a game in the past, it’s just too difficult to get back into it again when so many years, or even decades, have gone by.
And it can be especially hard convincing other people to play a game from a couple of decades ago. I can tell people until I’m blue in the face that LucasArts’ 1994 dogfighting simulator TIE Fighter isn’t just one of the best Star Wars games ever, but that it’s one of the best games ever, full stop. It’s a true classic. Unfortunately, these days, it looks like a classic, too. It’s just really, really old. I think if you didn’t play it then, you’d be pretty unlikely to play it now.
So to my mind, TIE Fighter: Total Conversion is just about as close as you can get to a perfect mod. Not only does it do a fantastic job of porting the original TIE Fighter into Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, it comes with updated visuals, sports a remastered soundtrack, and adds to the original campaign with new and more expansive missions.
