I still have my AWII and AWIII cd's that I played on my old pc. windows 95, p1 200 with 48 mb of ram, had a blast!  My boys got them out last summer and was flying the missions, lol.

I seem to remember hearing that those missions were written by the same Fencer who now spends time doing those fabulous skins.

"Scavenger" Terry Naughton passed away July 2nd 1994, he was in his mid fifties.

To say that Scav "wasn't the best" AW player around goes beyond an understatement. I was Scav's first teacher in the AW Academy. Tell the class to go one way....Scav goes the other. Where others were cherry pickers...Scav picked daisies. I helped JD (his 2nd or 3rd academy teacher) give Scav's class its final.....he hadn't changed a bit.:D

The thing about him was he had so much heart and desire, no cared that he was totally inept at playing the game. He really did help everyone get closer to what the game was really about....having a great time. For my money, a few of the "win the war" folks could learn a lot from him. Frankly, AH would do well if it could find another Terry "Scavenger" Naughton in its ranks.

Shouldn't be a surprise...96 is when the market started to move to flat rate unlimited access instead of pay by the hour  :salute

That's me. But I took such a liking to the greybeards (and even seemed to have a couple things in common with them) that they let me buy them drinks at the o-club ... when they're broke ... or I bring a date for them to steal.  :D

"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Well, technically... the 10k were supposed to appear with SVGA Air Warrior and CRIS. It didn't really start rolling until AOHell and Compusuck came on board.
