Mine is rather short.

I started playing flight sims because i was screwed when entering 7th grade 2 years ago.

I have just had surgey to fix a nerve that i had cut when i stuck my hand though window (dont ask how come i did that long story), and they didn't even bother with artiery i cut. I was out at the skate park skateboarding, and i um broke my foot.................... . So out of pure feeling sorry for me my mom bought FS98 for me. I loved it and after a while i got FS200 and just last year FS2002. Well after i had spent alot of time with Vatsim for ATC stuff A TV commerical finally convienced me to Try AH. Only played 6 Hours my First Week, then second weekend when i met shane and a few other people really got me into it.

I think I know that game, was it night only and about landing in the dark? Anyway that was my first flightsim experience.

Then I got a C64 and played "Project Stealth", it was an early version of the later Microprose F117. It is also the first game on the C64 I would classify as a "sim".

I have no chance to list the rest.

Any of you guys remember Flight of the Old Dog? It was
about a supertechnology B-52 that you could only fly with a
mouse, lots of onscreen switch flicking

Why did this thread reappear after a year? Anyway - I remember the timex-sinclair thing - early 80's. I guess that was more of a landing sim. There was a beacon that flashed and when you got close, bars would appear (sort of like a lane on a highway).
I thnk the program length was 4kb (load it from a cassette tape)

I also remember them landing on the moon, and that was in black and white too- OLD.

I created my first sim before personal computers in 1966. It was a race car sim. I used a phonograph turntable to make a moving road and glued Hotwheels (match box cars?) to it with the user hotwheel attached to a stick you'd wiggle to dodge the glued cars. Of course it only had 3 gears - 33 1/3, 45 and 78

Little did I know it was the beginning of addiction.
