Okay, I was able to try this out, and installation is a song and dance if ever there was one. First, both Tie fighter and X-Wing Alliance need to be installed before you even install this. You also need to lauch XW:A and create a pilot, then leave the game.

Once they’re installed, you’ll need to insert both your Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance disks when asked so it can copy and covert voice and sound files.The nice thing is that the installer told you exactly what you needed to do during the installation, like wait for the XW:A launcher to open, then close it, then press OK, for example. While it was a bit of a dance it was also painless.Once installed, you need to launch the game through the included launcher, it tells you, or there could be issues. It also asks which pilot you want to use once you install it, so I suppose you could have multiple pilots.For some reason the intro movie didn’t work for me, even after I installed the codecs it asked me to, so I suppose there might still be some issues. Once I got to the concourse, however, it was like old times. I was impressed right there and then.Once I picked a battle (the first, Aftermath of Hoth), instead of the ususal missle selection screen or what not, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in a new Imperial Hangar Bay (shown below):I thought I told the game to go 1280x1024 res, but it seemed to be still at 640x480. No matter, I was just happy to play.

Once I launched into the game, it all sounded the same, but looked much better than the original. Here’s some screenshots I took from that first mission:So far, despite some glitches, it looks good.

I can’t wait to play more.:)Let me know if you have any questions. I hope I was informative.:) Thanks! ChildofThor:I like the look of this:) sadly i’m still struggling on X-wing:oops: i just cant get past mission 8!

And until i beat Xwing, i dont want to try Tie-Fighter(which is the better game i’ve been told).Alliance was decent enough - but i think the older games might just beat it for that good star wars vibe?I’ve been replaying the non-enhanced Tie Figher off and on for the last few weeks. It’s as good as I remembered, and it’s as demanding as I remembered. Flying around in an unshielded craft lets you know just how valuable the Empire thinks you are. There’s no reason not to fire both up and play each as you see fit. TF is also more forgiving if you get stuck, with multiple campaigns available early on.With regard to X-Wing, are you stuck on that level with the mines? The trick is to shoot & run, and rotate the ship while you run away so the mines can’t get a fix on you.

I just played a few more missions tonight, and MAN was it fun. I wasn’t in doubt at the content, but the trasfer and conversion held up surprisingly well. I played 5 missions straight tonight with no hiccups at all, and it looks GREAT at 1280x1024. I know where much of my free time will be over the next couple of weeks.;)Funny thing too, I was at my favorite PC game store tonight, and they had used copies of both the X-Wing and Tie Fighter Collector’s Edition CD-ROMSthe originalsI picked them up, of course.:).
