You can get plenty of old sims there. I just got LHX again. Man that one was fun!


Still have LHX in the box, mint condition, the disks even work still.  :)

I also have Chuck Yeagers Air Combat, same vintage, same condition.

My dad has a few old 486's and I have them running on em, still ike playing them now.

Udet!  I had that ATP sublogic program, which ran directly under DOS. The city depicted in your pic is of course Chicago, for those who didn't know. You could fly the plane through the Sears tower without incident!

I got my B737 commander's rating quite easily. The 767 rating was harder, and I never did manage to get the 747 commander's rating.

Amiga flight sims
« Reply #54 on: March 18, 2003, 06:58:20 PM »
I still have a working Amiga 1000 set up. There were a few decent flight sims for the Amiga. Strike Eagle, FA-18 Interceptor (the one where you'd fly around San Francisco). Gee Bee Air Rally (for a laugh), LucasArts BoB and Battlehawks 1942.

I fired up Battlehawks the other day, for fun. Man, those graphics are pretty damn bad by today's standards! :)

I'll see about screenshots

Graphics aren't that important. I discovered Chuck Yeager Air Combat fairly late, when there were better looking sims around, and had a blast with it for a very long time.

Yeah, Spitfire '40 for C64 was my FIRST sim! I don't think I ever managed to land the plane :D BTW, IIRC, it had even a campaign!

What are you talking about?? You had the option of flying with your wingman vs 1, 3 Vs 1, 2 vs 2, 2vs 1 **DOUBLE bullets!!  Triple BULLETS mode even!!

WAIT WAIT!!  How many got their first ever combat training in there?!  Come on, you know - fly horizontal in to the cloulds (dont pul back *pitch*- better yet pull  to the sides to slow you down)  to get your opponent to over shoot?! Then LOOP (rope A dope) for the kill.

me? never ever touched Atari :D

Of course, I also mastered all the perfect angles for the 'ping-pong' tanks.
