I think that Air Warrior, Confirmed Kill, Warbrids and Aces High are all part of the same evolution.

However, I was only pointing out that I started playing from the beginning. I've played them all, and for a while I played them more than one at a time. However, Warbirds was the one I enjoyed the least of all, so I don't write about it and rarely ever mention it, no disrespect to Warbirds, it was just a personal preference.

Of Air Warrior, Confirmed Kill, Warbrids and Aces High, I know only the last three were created by HT, but the similarities and influence of each one on the other are so strong they have all blended together in my mind over the years. Do you remember when Confirmed Kill stopped using Domark's terrain engine, and it reverted to flat land for a while? I thought then that the similarities to AW were even more compelling. That's why I think of AW, CK WB and AH as all part of the same evolution, and its been a very enjoyable ride. That's why when people ask me how long I've been playing this game, I say it has been since about 1988, because for me this game's ancestry goes back that far and for me that's when it all began.

Badboy,

maybe i should have added another smiley :). Dnag internet makes it real hard to get irony/sarcasm across at times.

I think one of the reasons this game had me hooked from the first sortie on Schutts account is the community. In the arenas as well as on this BBS.  The willingness to help virtual strangers (or rather virtual friends, but RL strangers) out when they need something.... amazing.

I found more friends here than i ever thought possible.



AH community!
