Air Warrior touched a LOT of enthusiast in its day. Almost a life changing era for some.
I din’t care what anyone thinks AH is most based on AW concept.

How many gams are remembered with such fondness 35 yrs later? Like family?

Keeping AH alive and well tends to have an importance in the genre. Many still have not experienced. Once its gone you prolly won’t see anything like this concept.

There are people here whom I have known since the early to mid 1990s many of whom I have met IRL and have IRL friendships with outside the game thanks to Air Warrior. Unfortunately being in this community that has been around for so long there are a lot of close friends I have lost over the years .... Arc, Whels, TgrDoc, Coach, Ack-Ack, Tequila (TC) Chaser, LoneWolf, and NoBaddy just to name a few.

One of the things that's always bothered me about being one of the few, is how we keep getting....... fewer.

I remember when AW tanked and all you guys moved to AH (well, a lot did).  That was a sort of watershed moment for AH when it seemingly went from high fidelity air combat realism to an arcade game.  Well played AW fellas, well played.  No hard feelings.  We had a lot of fun, didnt we.

Umm don't I remember your name from AW?

AH was in VERY early development in 2000, can't really blame the arcade on AWers or anyone else, we didn't write the code <shrug> We didn't hold a gun to anyone's head :)
