+Tiff ; Hard to keep a historian away from the only thing that puts him in that seat. Never know tho.

I just started flyin again about 4 months ago. Personally I've been playing late night hours... a little less flock of seagulls.

BTW, you don't need a monster machine to drive this game, although it's always nice.

Hope you get up soon,...more vets needed. :)

BW is still BW,...political hypertension ran some out but it's still there functioning. <shrug>

Heck I figured our belov'd Animl would be in tall cotton since the evil empire moved on.  :D

I read someone was playing with a P3 so maybe my maxxed out p4 might handle it. Wish I could afford one o' them shiny usb CH systems but I'll guess I'll stick w/ the gameport set for now. That should work, shouldn't it?

Still wiping the tears pf joy. But instead of being scared to death, I'm just scared.

Your system will pull the game easy. I don't know of any issue with gameport. But I'm running a PIII 3ghz, 1 gb Mem, and my 6800GT coughed blood, so I am using a wimpy Nivida 420 MX (64mb mem) vid card, and it's pulling the game just fine. Need to replace that card though.

I pretty much get my butt handed to me on a consistent basis.  :rolleyes:

Damn this thread brings back old memories - played AW on GEnie back in '86 on an Atari ST1040 c/w 12" screen and mouse.   :D
I remember the mountains were VERY pointy  LOL - but ya could land on em - you could land everywhere and take off again.  heheh
...and TnB'ing in the cities was a giggle too!!

Think I still have that old ST in the garage - gonna drag it out and fire it up - see if I still got the game loaded.

Nice to see a real ground breaking game of it's day still has so many fans with fond memories!!

cheers eh!
HO is a HO is a HO!!
