I thought this was a worthwhile cause for me to pop in from my leave of absence.

A very very interesting Tie-Fighter total conversion was released for X-wing Alliance. If you got your Alliance CD's be quick to download it and try it out. It looks pretty sweet and I think its more than promising.

Some Conversion Features:

A. Battles 1-7 from the original TIE Fighter game (battles 8-13 expansion planned).

B. New TIE Fighter models with thingypits.

C. All Introduction and Battle Cutscenes.

D. All in-flight and briefing voices (converted from the users TIE Fighter CDROM).

E. Concourse/Imperial Quarters Interface.

F. Imperial Star destroyer hanger and items.

G. Custom “extended” version of the intro Cutscenes.

H. Custom award ceremonies.

I. Custom/Converted concourse music from TIE Fighter.

J. Custom battle CBMs and Icons.

K. Custom Email messages following the chronicles of Stele Maarek (runs parallel with Stele chronicles and Prima’s Strategy Guide).

L. Custom game launcher (you must use the launcher to play).

To install and play the Total Conversion you must have the following:

1. X-wing Alliance with both CD-ROMS

2. TIE Fighter Collectors Edition (TIECD) CDROM or X-Wing Collectors Series Disk 2 (TIE95) CDROM
