Author Topic: Screenshots of antique flight simulators (Read 2809 times)

Grendel · « **on:** March 14, 2003, 03:08:35 AM »

I'm preparing a demonstration about flight simulators and would like to
begin it with a short introduction through the old flight simulators of the
80s.Especially some of the very early ones - the 2 player dogifght game on
Spectrum, Spitfire Ace, Hellcat Ace and such. 8 bit and upwards.

But I need good screenshots. Or good as you could get from those screens

I'd be very glad to receive screenshots directly or pointers to such antique
products.

The demonstration will take place next week in the Finnish Aviation Museum
and there will be quite a crowd watching it, so I'd like to have a quick
"walk" from the early products to the latest ones.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I can go as far back as "Chuck Yeager's Air Combat", "F117: Nighthawk", and "Air Warrior 1.5", but I'll have to reinstall the software and right now my DVD drive is broken. I have a new drive, but I won't be able to get around to installing it until Sunday night.

(not really a flight "Sim" but it was good fun)

Grendel,

If you do a search on the internet for Red Baron by Sierra, you might find a whole flight sim program to download, not just the screenshots.

You can probably also find Aces of the Pacific and Aces over Europe for download as well.

I had Their Finest Hour, SWOTL, Aces of the Pacific, Aces over Europe and the original Red Baron on my laptop - I'll try and see if I can get a screen shot from any of those sims.

On C64, I used to have Ace of Aces (a WW2 combat sim) and Flight Simulator. I think I will download the C64 emulator. My old 5" disks are most likely melted by now.

Commodore 64

Ace of Aces:
Couldnt remember how to start the actual game..

C64 Flight Simulator 2

Super Huey II

I also remember playing Echelon.. but that was more of a futuristic hovership simulator program where you fly around and collect artifacts.
