Pretty much everything I said about X-Wing, goes double for Tie Fighter. Obviously, flying for the Empire was kind of like dipping a toe in the Dark Side, and the variety of ships was actually a little more interesting. The Tie Advanced was darned near unstoppable, and the Tie Defender was like playing on "God Mode".

Between the two games, there were weeks of fun to be had, and GoG has this one available too.

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

I'm still glad they (eventually) made a Lego TIE Defender.

I remember my first time playing that...
Me: "Wait, what? Clear a minefield in an unshielded TIE? C'mon now..."
Later:
Treacherous admiral: "Enough of this charade! [whatever your designation was] is the Emperor's stool pigeon! Destroy him!"
Me: "Uh... Uh-oh..." *steady stream of curses from constantly narrowly avoiding death*

Personally, I took great pleasure in taking on the betrayal mission without calling for help. Shooting down a TIE Advanced with a TIE Interceptor is very satisfying. Good thing the computer isn't very good at energy management.

Yoda of Borg am I! Assimilated will you be! Futile resistance is, hmm?
