I’ve been messing around with it for the past week or two and it is VERY awesome. I have no idea what kind of black magic these guys worked, but it looks like a game that came out this year while playing exactly the same as it did in 1993. All you need is a copy of the original game, which is available on Steam and GOG. They’re planning to support TIE Fighter and possibly XvT down the line.

I’d recommend the Reimagined campaign of TFTC if you want to replay that one, though. TIE Fighter is my 2nd favorite video game of all time, and I think it’s better than the original. This one requires X-Wing Alliance.
