TIE Fighter is one of the best space sims to play for score (i. e. on the hardest difficulty level). Already the first mission is insanely brutal, fighting Escort Shuttle group "Tough". You, in a lone, unshielded TIE against turbolasers. "Keying" those shuttles to Outpost D-34 while still managing to shoot them down yourself before they burn through popcorn reinforcements is one of the high points of DOSWin gaming. Sort of the Star Wars version of Wing Commander's famous Ralari defense.
