LOL ! Don't worry, Mild Dill got an ace up his sleeve, and they ain't rivets  :cheers:



I doubt he has any aces up his sleeve.

Maybe they already gave up on Rivet-Birds? 

Those things can't even get airborne because they are weighed down with rivets.

With a reputation like Microprose you can't expect them to just lay down and make one game. One of the pictures said its a technical demo as well (an engine/etc) for future products.

Its good to see, thanks for the update.

And Wild Bill is over 70!

But it's good I guess, we will have a multiplayer simulator and then some cool single player ones, I hope the campaign is as awesome as the ones from the 80's, those were the most fun single player simulators i have ever played  :salute

It will be interesting to see what IP rights MicroProse has to some of their old library of games.  I know they've lost quite a few and others have fallen into IP purgatory.

A lot of those games shown in that image are no longer the property of MicroProse, and they only have the IP rights to the original games.  That screenshot only shows the games they had published many, many years ago during their heyday and isn't a representation of the games they currently have the IP rights to.  For example, MicroProse will not release any games based on any of Tom Clancy's IP as they no longer have the rights to publish any game based on Tom Clancy's IP, same with the MechCommander games and any of Sid Meier's games.

Interesting, their twitter has gained a lot of traction

There will be an announcement soon...... I wonder if this will be the new game or it will be warbirds 2020, there is only a futuristic image so far...... but it can be only promotion and we will see warbirds 2020, curious to see what will be next, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for october release  :airplane:

A month from release...

Is there a playable demo yet?  Got the download link?
