Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter

Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter is a 1997 space simulation video game developed by Totally Games for LucasArts. It is the third installment of the X-Wing series.

Featuring several technical advancements over the original releases of its predecessors, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter runs on Windows, requires a joystick, features a CD audio soundtrack, supports high-resolution graphics, and brings texture mapping to the ship models of the in-flight game engine. It includes robust multiplayer options for up to eight players in free-for-all, team-based, and cooperative play modes, and has a sophisticated pilot and mission selection system that tracks the player's points and awards. In addition to selecting what craft they will fly, the player can choose their squadron (and thus role in combat) for each mission.

It is the only part of the series designed for multiplayer and/or personal practice only, lacking a storyline. LucasArts later released an expansion called Balance of Power which added a storyline.
