How I heard of AH
« on: July 17, 2007, 05:32:34 PM »
I was on a phone line with a techie for my Power Spec computer. He/You told me about the gaming computer you put together and when I asked what games you play he/you told me you played only one, Aces High.

                 So now I'm hooked as well. And you know I have it bad cause I just spent my two days off playing the thing.

I heard about it from my Father. He'd already been playing for a few years when I went to visit he & my Mom a few summers ago.  Played on his computer during my visit.  Once I returned home I loaded it onto our computer ~ hubby & I (and 3 sons) have been hooked ever since. :D

Thanks Dad;) Lots of fun ~ and I'm always glad to see you in here.:)

saw a commercial on the military channel

downloaded it, bought a twisty stick the next day, practiced offline for 2 weeks while watermelon chatting on the boards, gave the kids all the console game systems, and the rest is history.

I was recuperating from an injury and my son in law got me my first personal PC with this addiction pre-loaded.

Military channel commercial. Downloaded it, disliked it greatly at first, but then I met Kazaa, LOVED his big missions, and decided to stay.

Red Baron 3D was terminally ill.

I went cruising the internet for another WW1 sim and bumped into Aces High by accident.

Been here ever since.

Saw it on military channel. Looked cool, but I was pretty skeptical. The free trial seemed fair enough, so I decided to download it. I remember upping  B-17's, losing the drones, and trying to bomb at 500ft. Smokey23 was real friendly and helped me out with my first day. He invited me into the Lynchmob, and I've been there ever since.

AW for me.. Looked up my old squad And what did i see..

Shawk
Hondo
Ogie
Steve
Coors

Some of my old AW buddies! I downloaded the game as fast as i could. Flew off line for a day our two learned to take off and did some very basic circles and loops. My first sortie in main low and behold i found shawk all alone with 3 spits on his 6. No vox our skill i helped him out and got one kill with all my ammo. Shawk said nice kill and its great to have you back. Within 5 mins of flight time i was back in my old squad (:

This is my order of addiction..

AW
WW2onlie
Bf1942
AH

The one game for me is AH and i plan on being around for some time to come.....

Military Chanell.

I always was a WWII buff..

Thought it sounded like fun, I had an old logitek extreme from many years ago when I bought Jane's F-15 sim.

Two week free trial.....

Didnt wait for the two weeks to expire.

Addicted ever since....

Like a lot of people here, I was part of the AW community.  Tried this game out when it was an open beta.  I remember my first night--loving how the control surfaces actually moved.  lol.

I ran across a reference to the open beta Aces High (the original) while it was  running on some forum/BBS (may have been combatsim.com).  I was playing EAW @ the time and had ventured online with that game and had dabbled in Warbirds but the cost kept me away (poor college student).  Signed up for the beta played for several months and subscribed when the game went pay and haven't looked back since.

Milatary Channel, and this seems to be where most of us found it so I'd say it's deffintly been a good investment for HTC to run commercials on the Milatary Channel.
