Stormbirds features new sim "Tiny Combat Arena"
« on: February 03, 2022, 04:57:41 PM »
I'm not sure why Aces High seems to be ignored by so many flight sim reviewers - I thought maybe it was because the graphics were dated, or maybe the aircraft control features too simplistic.  But if Stormbirds can review this upcoming sim, with graphics that look straight outta the mid-80s, I don't know why he couldn't be prevailed upon to give Aces High a try and a mention.

Here's the Steam page link:

Honestly, I would've guessed this was an April Fool's Day joke.  But it appears to be real.   Perhaps we need to donate 3 free months of play to ShamrockOneFive to encourage him to do a feature on Aces High?   The standard free two-weeks might not be enough for him to really get to know enough aspects of the game to do an in-depth review...

Well,  AH is not exactly "News" for a press release. 

It got it's share of press and reviews when it came out 20 years ago.

Look like that old Flightsim Toolkit ca. 1991.

Wow. That's a trip on the way-back machine. lol.

I haven't heard or read anyone mention that since I had it back in 91-92.

I have been following the Microprose FB page and see updates for it. I actually think it's pretty neat and I might check it out if it came out for my S21 but I doubt I'd get it for my PC.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
