Is it still worth playing?
Totally Games' 1994 space combat simulator for MS-DOS, in which you fly for the Empire in the time between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Between missions you return to a concourse with a training simulator and a combat chamber, and tours of duty hold four to eight missions, each with a briefing, that can be retried if failed. In the cockpit you start with unshielded TIE fighter variants and progress to shielded, better armed fighters. Without shields, the hull takes damage directly, which can disable systems or break cockpit displays. Flying is a matter of managing power. You divide it among weapons, engines and shields, while laser cannons do damage, ion cannons disable targets, and parts of capital ships and space stations can be targeted. Power shared out as you fly still keeps each dogfight a matter of choices today.
