Other "War" games before AH2?

[Wyld45]

            17 years I covered alot of ground playing different military games from the first NES and PS,
       to computer games. My first early favorites were "Afterburner" and that very first submarine
       game that was made for the first Nintendo console,"Silent Service".
     
                 What were some of your first favorite "conventional" war games?

Well it would have to be Air Warrior, it was the game that got me hooked on WW2 fighter sim's, back when it was free with AOL.

Combat Flight Simulator #1 #2 and #3. With out those games, I would have never gotten interested in AHII.

I still have Combat Flight Simulator WW2 Europe Series, was alot of fun to play back in the day.

Let's see.  I started waaaay back when with some Avalon Hill games (Panzer Leader anyone?)  I still have about 15 or so of their games in some boxes somewhere.  Then there was B-17 Bomber for Intellivision (yes, I'm that old).  Then came Harpoon for the PC, followed by F-117 Stealth Fighter.  The Falcon series was awesome   Warbirds introduced me to the world of online flight sims. Oh yeah, Fighter Duel was in there somewhere too.  That CD is sitting right here in the CD holder on my desk.  I really need to clean that thing out.

I played all the MS combat flight sims and a little bit of IL2 but then I got into FPS games like Rogue Spear or Call of Duty, Battlefield series and so on. Then I started looked around for a WW2 flight sim again and found this one. Played around with some of Jane's games for awhile and the game Lock-on as well.

I think my first was the old 1995 Super Nintendo game 'Lock On'

Like Auger, I'm an old board wargame vet too. Avalon Hill and SPI wargames were where much of my money went back in the late 70's and 80's.

My first video game favorite was B-17 Bomber on Intellivision.

I got a Commadore 64 in 1985 and played F-15 Strike Eagle and Mig Alley Ace until I got a real PC.

Microprose became my favorite computer game company. Owned many of their titles.

In the mid 80's to mid 90's I was heavy into miniatures.

B-17 Flying Fortress came next in 1992 or so.

First online air combat was Red Baron 3D. Anybody remember a SPAD VII pilot named Poulet LeGrande? Yup, that was me.

Not finding any WW1 air sims to replace Red Baron I stumbled onto Aces High.

Today my gaming is limited to a couple computer titles and the rare board game.
