Unfortunately I just threw my old Amiga 1000 with AW 1.0 on it into the trash a few months ago.  I did boot it up one last time and ran AW: man were the graphics lame.  Almost flat featureless plain with a few pyramidal mountains.  Planes had no more than about 16 polygons with no color or texture- just gray.  It's amazing that I would pay hundreds of dollars a month to play that

I believe this is a screenie from the 1987 AW.

It was the only one I could dig up.

How many remember Stunt Island?  This was an absolute gem where you could make your own movies.

Here is my first flight sim for the C64.  It was called IFR, no windows.

I had that one.

First pc game I remember was blue max and red baron.  Strike Eagle and then Falcon.

Commodore 64 "Mig Alley Ace" *Played this one on-base with a squadron buddy. It was split screen. ~hehe~ He could never figure out how I knew he was on my tail when I went all evasive like.

Arlo, my friends and I were quoting b17 boooohbmer until we were in our early twenties (29 now).   "Watch for flak!"  "Fi-e-ters 12, o-clock1" "whu-oh", etc..

I remember stunt island too, apparently the geniuses who made it thought the max speed at sea level of an f16 was around 1100 mph, fun game though nonetheless.
