I read constantly on this forum the opinion that nothing's ever really changed in Aces High in, say, the last ten years. I was just thinking the other day that when I started playing this game this time of year used to bring with it the unique phenomenon of the squeakers. Can't for the life of me remember encountering a single squeeker for several years now. Are they an endangered species or officially extinct? Worrying isn't it?

tune to me, I am still a squeeker at 51.

They can play a more action packed game for free. I don't blame them for not being here.

Hormones in the water supply have caused accelerated growth of squeakers.... :uhoh

I thought artificial estrogen in the national water supply took the fight out of sqweeking little boys and made them play my little pony games.

I wonder if Dlamb ever recovered from being hit by the dumb truck?

The squeakers we had years ago are all grown up now lol. They don't sound squeaky anymore.

That's really all there is to it. Paying anything at all is a powerful demotivator when there's a free alternative.

Consoles have also had an impact.

My kids play several different games, funny thing is that one of their favorites is space station 13, a very early styled 2D type game, our PlayStation 4 sees alot of action also fallout 4, overwatch, seem to be the favs now. First person shooters were all the rage a while back, with the C.O.D. and Halo versions coming to mind. The youngest likes to revisit Roblox and Runescape from time to time. One time pay or free seems to be the norm, nowdays, at least for squeakers.

There are squeekers around, dont remember the name but i saw i guy recently that did an effort to take a v-base. spammed country channel with orders and info about every turn he did. He was in Lancs and in a heroic effort he killed 3 hangers in 15 mins and then whined about no help.. Tried to tell him that he needed to kill 2 hangers per pass and all 4 in 2 passes to have enough time to clean up and take it. But he thought that it was more than enough to kill 3...

We as squeakers were fed a steady diet of warfare movies, fighter combat tv shows and the like. Also the tablet allows low cost squeaker entertainment though some of it is as simplistic as 1980s arcade games.
Is this genre dying out with the last real combat veterans of WW2?
:salute It was a wonderful ride. :joystick:

And it seems to me the closing of the head to head arenas was the beginning of the end.
-
What is the player population these days?
Interesting that you mentioned the H2H arenas. It was certainly a feature that made it easy to come back, play a bit, and then ultimately resubscribe to the game after a leave of absence. At least for me.

No it's not a bad omen
Young guys today are neutered feminised trigger warning drones anyway and are not wanted here.

Getting shot down builds character :banana:

It was also exploited by a small group of players, which is why it was removed.

Young guys today talk about issues and their emotions, no wonder the musso's Alpha males want to destroy us :old:

There is no free alternative. You might think it is close, but it's not.
