What was your first PC WW2 flight sim?

[GunnerCAF]

C 64, Ace of Aces.  I don't know if I would call it much of a sim.  The C 64 had better flight sims  

The first game I loaded when I got my first PC was AW DOS (1.2 ish??)

Sooo, I can blame Dinger for having dropped out of College & having no life ?

On a more serious note, anyone remembers the "Seal Team", on PC , where ya had a "Seal Team" to deploy & control in Nam, could call helicopter support etc... that game kicked *** too!

Also I remember staying 27hours in a row, playin' Harpoon 1, I had so much cafeine in my blood I could not sleep for another 24 hours

Aces over europe on 386sx
Love that game, but my version doesnt calculate puter speed  
so everything goes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to fast:(

(I read about a year ago that they were going to do
a AOE 3d version.  Anyone else hear that?)

As far as WWII flying games go, first ones I recall playing were Ace of Aces and Dambusters on the good ol' C64....

Mine was on the  C64 (goes back a long time and it was always better than Amstrad) and it was the battle of britian, gosh that game was so much fun

then after years of lonliness, I found Aces over Europe.  I still play it to this day

Aces High is my first online flight sim. Played Hellcats Over The Pacific in '94 or so, but it was an AI game. Played the Il2 beta a few months back. That would be #2. Havent found a reason to leave AH, and from what I hear about the 'other' games, I wont for a long time to come:cool:

Just my 200 cents worth

Any other hobbies???

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

Awesome game that allowed you to manage your own bombing campaigns.  Light years ahead of the competition.  I bought Aces of the Pacific a few weeks after I got SWOTL, but aces didnt really even compare.

[RatPenat]

Battle of Britain, Secret weapons LW, and six years at AW as MOTMX, Lince or ^Lobo

Hmmm...first flight sim was a game called Spitfire and that was back around '85 and then Strike Eagle back in '86 on my Apple IIE with a whopping 256k of RAM and 1 meg hard drive.

It's difficult to recall which was first, Hellcat Ace, F-15 Strike Eagle or F-19 Stealth Fighter. All on a C64. There were many others too.
Mostly, I played MicroProse games back then, circa 1986-88. Included in that list should be the still terrific Hunt for Red October submarine sim. That one was a gem.
