This was a bit of an under-rated one that got a bit unfairly compared with Tomb Raider:



But even better than the game was the model they used for the promotional material.



 :O

This was a VERY hard game, but WELL worth it if you could figure out its controls:

Cutie  :cool: I bet she couldn't even stumble 10 paces, even draging her sword, not even talking about fighting something. Ahhh ... videogames and movies, where skiny hot chicks can fight like UFC guys.

Point of order: A longsword (REAL longsword: two-handed, 36-40" blade) was only about 2-3lbs. I'll give you that the 30lbs of mail may be a bit much for her, (with the way plate wears I'd give her the benefit of the doubt) but I have no doubt a girl like that could handle the sword with no trouble.

I still play X-Wing vs TIE, X-Wing Alliance, and the original Silent Hunter. It's not that Silent Hunter is particularly great, I just cannot afford new games, lol.

Used to play F-19 a lot, sneaking up the Kola peninsula or delivering/retrieving top secret cargo in the Persian Gulf. :D

1942 was also a great pacific game. Air War Over Europe anyone? Carrier Command was also fun!

Check this out... man it's a long time ago!

I had an Atari 800 PC with a casstte drive. It took about 15-20 minutes for the game to load.

Have one of those sitting behind me. There's a cassette drive, but I don't have any cassettes other than the original 50 states one.
Play a lot of the old arcade games on it. :)

Don't forget fighter duel, one of the best sims out there. Everything during that time (486 33) looked a heck of a lot worse. Check out the gauges, still look nice after all this time.

lol the gauges actually look way better than the ah2 ones..

Maybe because they aren't moving?  :lol

Btw I used to play F16 a lot on the Sega Master System (8-bit), back in the day.

And yeah... I considered myself a hot stick because I was shooting down the enemy in droves, in Air War over Europe on PC I think it was the early 90's. That self-image lasted about 2 minutes online.  :rofl Looking back at it it was real funny but I wasn't laughing at the time!  :lol

Do you mean European Air War?

I don't think it was quite as good as Pacific Air War.
