"TIE Fighter" was good. I still like "X-Wing" the best. :)

Vader's TIE is the one in that set. What Totally Games decided to call
the TIE Advanced is really (well, everywhere else, card games, RPGs and
the like) called the TIE Avenger. I think on the official SW site it
says that the T/I IS a decendent of Vader's (I still don't see HOW, they
where completely different... the T/A is a more obvious decendent).
Oh, and Vader's is the "Advanced X1 Prototype," commonly refered to as
the T/A X1 (or something like that).

Actually, another nitpick, the T/I has UP TO 10. The 4 that where in
the games, plus 2 where the guns are on Vader's and the standard TIE,
and 2 in the notches on the wings. Again, I *think* it says this on
SW.com (lemme see...) well, it says "(although experimental variants
have included more)," but I belive if you look real close durring the
fighting at the second Death Star, you can see some shoot 10 bolts. I'm
sure this is more than anyone wanted to know. :) Even me. :)
Basically, the X-Wing series says one thing, and LucasFilm says
another. Changes were made to make the game fun. Later!
