I'd set up a swarm of Yak biplanes to tear up in a jet anytime I finished homework early in computer class...
It was a lot of fun.

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

Do you think it cause it was your first flight or combat sim? You know what I really miss? I miss that little, fit in one hand, joystick that I used with that Mac. Frikin joysticks today are gettin to the point you almost have to strap em on.

Maybe, but actually it wasn't my first sim, I had Falcon AT and sublogic's ATP before it. I think it was just it's simplicity and pickupability. Yet it had a 'realistic' feel to it. I didn't even have a joystick. The PC in work didn't even have a mouse:lol or even Windows. I played it with arrow keys.

Same here,but I played mine on my brand new 12 mhz 286 with a HUGE 49 meg hard drive.

I loved that game.

Actually the first "sim" I remember playing was "B17 Bomber" on an Intellevision. But that wasn't a PC game, rather a game console.

Top this:
My first flightsim was Psion flight simulator for the Sinclair ZX81.
I hacked into the program and converted it into a night-bomber sim, hehe.
That was in 1982. Program size less than 16K.

My first sim was Flight of the Intruder. Man I loved that game. Looking at it now it looks like crap..but back then it was the best thing going in my book. I recall streaking in low and fast in my A-6 dropping ord on old charles's head. Good times.
