Aces High Squad Timeline

Until AW III SVGA I think the graphics of the plane itself were all basic polygons as seen in my previous post. Users created images of the cockpit views that looked like whatever aircraft and you could download those from GEnie and use them in the game.

Tooling around a bit in the Amiga version via emulator brings back memories. No voice back then, only text. Graphics were bare but we didn't care. Flew with the FUBARS until early '93, then assignment to Osan for a year.

Still have the FUBAR squad t-shirt.

Drano set up an old win 9x system and I think he got his Boxed AWIII full version to run on it. I only have the AWII boxed version that Bass sent me way back 1996 so I'm tempted to ask Drano for a copy of AWIII to see if I can get it to run in a VM and possibly set up an 8 man H2h server. The box sets had Modem and Lan H2H and I beleive it supported up 8 players or more on Lan.

Warbirds III from way back also supported multiplayer Lan play for more than 2 players, but it's not Air Warrior.

Downloaded, I'll take a look at it, hopefully it'a not the client version from Gamestorm as it lacks the direct modem and lan play.

Sadly I could have gotten a free boxed version from Mage or Moggy when I worked at Kesmai/Gamestorm.

I know all about rusty P-38s. I checked in on mine and someone has been parting it out.

Guinness book of World Records list the longest running online gaming guild has been in continuous operation for 27 years and 10 days, and was achieved by The Syndicate (USA), as of 10 February 2023.

My online gaming group the Damned was formed in 1987/1988 in an online mass multi player combat flight sim called Air Warrior, We have been going every since and we are currently 38 years old ± a year.

I think both the Damned and the Gunfighters (If Still active) breaks this record and can hold the title of the oldest Unless some MUD clan from the late 1970s or 1980s is still around.

I think we should set the record straight.

As far as I can tell, AH didn't have the Gunfighters until Grits resuscitated it in 2004:  https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,112643.msg1170354.html#msg1170354.  Near as I can tell, Fork and I are the only remaining members.

So there's that gap which would probably disqualify the Gunfighters as record holders.

I still have battle scars from the early days of Air Warrior. Inflicted by my wife when the GEnie bill came due.
