Of course in the 80's this game was a dream come true for us who loved ww2 aviation.  That was over two decades ago for me...

Hey!  That was over two decades ago for me too!  Wow!  That's cool!   :banana:

"Air Warrior was an early multiplayer on-line air-combat simulator. A player is able to fly a simulated World War II aircraft, fighting with and against other players, each flying his own simulated aircraft. It was introduced in 1986 by Kelton Flinn is an American computer game designer who is a major pioneer in online games. He is a co-founder of the seminal online game company Kesmai, which they began in 1982...and his company Kesmai was a pioneering game developer and online game publisher, founded in 1981 by Kelton Flinn and John Taylor. The company was best known for the combat flight sim Air Warrior on the GEnie online service, one of the first graphical MMOGs, launched in 1987.... At this time the internet was not generally available outside the worlds of government and academia. Kesmai therefore used the online service GEnie was an online service created by a General Electric business - GEIS that ran from 1985 through the end of 1999. In 1994, GEnie claimed around 350,000 users. Peak simultaneous usage was around 10,000 users...for the game's networked communication."

For many of us this was where we started....we then followed the game through its different progressions until AH2....

I have always been Zoney even back then, well, except for the month I flew as "Cindy" on Warbirds.  Never knew so many guys could be so helpful  :O.  Some even offered to come over to my house to help me set up my views and such.  Still makes me giggle.
