How did you get to AH?

[Lephturn]

First one I ever played was ....

Don't know the name.  You "flew" a B-17 (it was pretty much on rails) and had to bomb and shoot down all the fighters from different gun positions.  I don't remember what platform it was on.  C64?

After that just SWOTL.  Wasn't into computers back then.

My next one was Warbirds right after the beta ended. :/  Then WB to AH, wich is the best multi-player flight sim ever created, period.

Baysayvantane Bawmber was my first flight "sim" on the Intelevision w/ the voice modulator.  Baaandat's 12 O'clawk! hehehe I played that one for hours.  There was another kick arse game on intelevision where you had a navy and your buddy had a navy.  You had to destroy his navy and go to his port to win.

 Falcon 3 was my next addition followed by AoE and B17 Flying Fortress.  Then a couple of years later after my 1st month on the internet I stumbled upon WB   Then I was lucky enough to get into the AH alpha at the same time I quit WB.  AH has been my home ever since.

Heheh, this is a cool thread!!

I think the order is correct.

1 Spitfire Ace (by Microprose)
2 Strike Eagle (the original)
3 Gunship (by Microprose)
4 Falcon (the original)
5 F-19 Stealth Fighter
6 Their Finest Hour/Battlehawks 1942 (got them at the same time)
7/8/9 Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Falcon 3, and Strike Eagle 3 (Freshman year of college with new computer   )
9.5 Somewhere in here was Red Baron.
10 Aces of the Pacific
11 Aces Over Europe
12 Pacific Strike
13 Pacific Air War (still my all time favorite)
14 Fleet Defender (damn I love the F-14)

Few years without a computer and then My current one
15 European Air War
16 World War 2 Fighters
17 F-15
18 Falcon 4
19 Then some guy (Soulyss - the drok) was playing this game instead of hosting Rogue Spear.  He said "I've been playing Aces High all day hahaha."  I was like wtf is that?  He gave me the link to HTC and I have been on ever since.

I know I left some off, but it is hard to remember them all
