[Shifty]

Did all the Avalon Hill games in the early 80s.
In 1986 got my C-64.
Hellcat Ace
F-15 Strike Eagle
F117 Stealth Fighter.

About 1988 I got my first PC

Battlehawks 1942
Their Finest Hour
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

Then got into the Dynamix Games

Red Baron
Aces of the Pacific
Aces over Europe

Also the updated
F-15 Strike Eagle and Falcon 3.0
About 1992 I did Red Baron online follwed closely by Air Warrior DOS
1997 I made the move to Warbirds, then Aces High in 2001.

Sheesh that's a lot of hours looking at a monitor.........

Played so many but the one that really stands out as something i could play today even is Red Storm Rising for the commodore 64. The machine still works but the tapes started going sour after a while.

  First flight sim i had was Jane's WWII Fighters, greatest game I ever played, with AH2 coming in second, back in 1998. I also got Talonsoft's Enemy Engaged: Apache Havoc. I also have Talonsoft's 12' Oclock High: Bombing the Reich. And I have Hidden and Dangerous, the original game also from Talonsoft. The Deluxe version is also downloadable on the net, PM if any of you guys have this and want to play online.

Agreed, that game was a very immersive. (pun intended)
