About the game

You manage power between engines, lasers and shields in the middle of a fight, which turns every dogfight into a juggling act.

Training missions and three campaigns, or "tours of duty", build to the trench run.

History

Developed by Totally Games, led by Lawrence Holland, and published by LucasArts in 1993. Two expansions followed.

TIE Fighter, which let you fly for the Empire, came out in 1994.
