a game from the past

[scot12b]

F15 Strike eagle I had that for the commodore 64 I feel old to

[Jackal1]

River Raid was where it was at.

Jane's USAF was a cool game too. More arcade than realistic, but the graphics were top notch.

[Maverick]

Never did Janes but I did European Air War online on the Zone, 6 max in an arena on dialup

My first was Their Finest Hour on the Amiga (with half meg ram upgrade!), FPS of 5 was a luxury

I had the same game as my first IBM game on a brand new 8088 machine. It was the game that convinced me to drop Apple computers.

In High School and College we played the Avalon Hill games as well as the SSI games like Foxbat and Phantom. When we sold the house I packed up about 15 or 20 different games and gave them to my stepdaughter to e-bay and see what she could get for them. A couple were practically unopened boxes.

1st 'sim' I played was F18 Interceptor on Amiga...we were commenting on how realistic it'd look in a few years, it has indeed improved

Looks to right and there is the Their Finest Hour Code wheel pinned to cork board........Amiga sets across the room.

I liked EAW better than Jane's.The game I spent a lot of time with was Panzer General.If it would work on WinXP,I would still be playing it.

How many played Dauntless and Air Force board games by Battleline and then Avalon Hill?

I spent countless hours as a teen playing those games.

Played those some. Started on one -- was it Air Force, or 8Th AF, or Over the Reich? Also played a lot solo...no one around had the patience for those games. Thought over the Reich had balance problems, only came out one way.

Really liked The Third Reich. Loved the combination of operational gaming and economic components. For me, the countless hours spent on PanzerBlitz and Tobruk. Some great hex based times!

Actually lately since I dont have a rig for AH at the moment I've checked out Dosbox and have rediscovered Ghengas Khan.

Still very addictive

[wrongwayric]

I have it still sitting here and play it from time to time just to laugh at how far we've come. It's a simple game compared to AH with no interaction or real time feel to it. Still is fun to up when bored or intardnet is down and fly around killing stuff.
I also have an F18 simulator for the computer and a vietnam sim game for the playstation, fave ride is the F4U phantom in the vietnam one for PS.
Still none of them beat AH for the interactive play.

Started with Chuck Yeager Air Combat, then Falcon 4.0, then Aces of the Pacific, F15, F117 Nighthawk, Secret Weapons Of the LuftWaffe, The list goes on and on.

My blast from the past is F-117 strike fighter.

I can still see the poly's of a Harpoon hitting a ship in my minds eye.

[DiabloTX]

Battlehawks 1942 here.

I had both Jane's and EAW.  I loved the soundtrack Jane's had though.  Wish I could hear it again.
