is a great resource for all of you 'old' sim stuff. I've even seen a free download for Yeagers sim, if you have an old DOS machine. I think its less than 1meg total...  :D

I started with Dynamix "Red Baron".   Was that bad boy laggy online.  Of course, I was running a 386/16 with a 14.4 modem.

That was my first sim too. I ran it offline only on a 386/D40 With a whopping 1meg of ram.

Yeah... one of the first online sims that we could make work on a Mac. I spent hours and hours flying against Red Ant back in the day.

Great game, I still have it. Graphics were terrible even then but the gameplay was brilliant. It even came with a tape from the great man himself. It played off a floppy and I used to bring it to work as I didn't own a PC. Wasted many an hour dogfighting over the featureless wastes of green pixels.
I also had Chuck's flight trainer which had an air racing facility where it recorded your last three fastest flights and you found yourself trying to best your own record in spits, p51's or jets. It was intense.

For all the fabulous graphics and gameplay of modern sims. I've yet to repeat the fun factor of those two.
