Yep I ran Falcon on my 4.77 MHz PC.

Dinger/CFIT and I used to fly F-19 and ATP with one guy as pilot and the other as WSO/Co-pilot.

Cool! I wasn't the only person to do that!!! Back in <cough> 1989 </cough> my friend of mine and I would load up on pop, start the sim, and fly for hours at a time. It's amazing how a "sim" (and, let's face it, I have to use that word loosely now) with such rudimentary graphics and laughable frame rates seems more "real" to me in fun and memory than ninety percent of the 3D accelerated titles that have come down the pipe in the past three years.

Anybody out there remember Mig Alley Ace on the Commodore64/128? I used to play that with my RAPCON buddies in 1987, doing co-op missions over a solid green landscape.

Ah, how times have changed.

I thought it was just called "Mig Alley" (same name as the newer game from Interplay). Split screen 1v1 dogfighting. Was playing it in `84 with a nvy bud. He could never figure out how I always knew when he was lining up for a shot. (EG)

lol. I played F15 on my friend's apple IIe. And once I played some Harrier game on the Commodore 64.

Oh, I played F-16 Fighting Falcon on the Sega Master System and F-22 on the Sega Genesis. LOL

I think I've seen this movie before! Recently, as a matter of fact!
