Remember booting up with a DOS 2.1 disk in the drive bay?

[nopoop]

I remember my first flightsim box game. 1942 Gold. I messed with it for a couple of months in DOS trying to get it to run on my Amiga. I had upgraded it to a screamer with a meg of ram..

First time it ran I think I played it for 8 hours straight

Never gave up, and have been a flightsim geek ever since.

My first flightsim: Red Baron on my Packard Bell in 94. 600mb, Pentium, 64k Ram, CD 2x Rom

Then came Aces of the Pacific and Aces Over Europe. What a game! I played those on my PB till it FINALLY died in 2000 of a harddrive failure. It was the only system I could play TIE Fighter on.

After 16 years of PC gaming all this drama is amusing.  When you've stayed up until 3:00am manually rearranging the autoexec.bat and config.sys files using himem to try and free that last 5k of low 640 memory in DOS to get Aces of the Pacific to load without a boot disk... well, perhaps some are more suited to the console gaming universe.

AH2 rocks so far, and it will only imrpove.

10 a$ = "AHII runs fine!"; a = 0
20 For i = 0 to 5000; Poke(646,a); ?a$; a = a+1;
30 If a > 256 Then a = 0
40 Next i
50 End

Run

I never player Air Warrior on the hourly instalment plan but I got in on the Free on AOL time zone.I guess as time goes on the community kinda loses the respect we all had to a degree.If you took a pole of everyone in here that played AW to an ammount greater than 1 year,I would think 60% would be a conservitive number.VERY conservitive.

Noted and followed AH's progress from beta.

Been a subscriber since v1.03

Don't see any reason to leave and they haven't shown an inclination to kick me out, so I'll hang around.

HTC.  Thanks for a great game.

I've been playing Dale and Co. games since WarBirds 1.11. Did some alpha testing in this one. I don't plan on going anywhere. Dale's games have always run on my machines and none of them have been the latest and greatest. Most of the problems people are having I know relate directly to thier machine setup.

Charon, you brought back a lot of fond memories with your post . Hours spent configuring that 640k to run games taught me a lot about operating a computer. I remember at first messing something up and having to reload everything because I didn't know how to fix it.

Man! Those were the days! (and I'm glad they are gone )

Drediok: Can't place the system, but command seems to strikes a memory: was it a load from tape command?
