Good helicopter sim?
« on: November 18, 2005, 05:34:02 PM »
I used to play Janes Longbow and Longbow2. I still have them, do they work on Windows XP? I seem to recall problems. Any other cool helicopter sims I've missed since then? I heard a rumor Lo-Mac would have a 'copter soon?

Thanks!

I really loved "MicroProse" Gunship for my C64.  

But I don't want to give my age away...

Stealth Fighter was great too...and Pirates...dammm.

I'm really NOT that old.

I forget the name of it, but there was a pretty good arcade sim back in the late 80's. It had you flying thru the streets of New York with a RIO yelling commands. The graphics were pretty good for the time.

Me too.
Was my first sim spent hours upon hours on that thing.

Even managed to win the MOH once when I was in "the zone" LOL

You're right.
I lost my wife, house, car & did 40 months hard time because of that game & I still never scored over 800
