Prime Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.swtorstrategies.com/2011/05/play-star-wars-tie-fighter-in-chrome.html Nothing quite beats free stuff, unless its free stuff that his an undeniably nostalgic taste to it, and which thus has the power to transport recipients back to a simpler, more magical time before Jar Jar and before everyone suspected that Mr Lucas might be in it for more than just the pleasure of creating art. And now, we have some exciting news on that front, thanks to some very clever people who have announced that you can now play Star Wars Tie Fighter - the iconic DOS game from 1994 - using only the power of Chrome. Haven't tried it, but looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 so.... Chrome loads DOXBos which loads Tie Fighter, that sounds like an extra step to me, might as well just get DOSBox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
