I was at the gun range wearing an Aces High hat, the cashier saw the hat and said that he used to play that game.
In 20 years I had never had a player see my hat and say something.

Did you get him to re join?! :)
-
What did he say when you told him you were the owner?
-
Is it a cowboy hat?
-
A die hard aces high pilot would have recognized who it was.
-
He probably lost money on that Aces High Card Game. :bolt:
-
Really? Wow. Logo and name has been locked in my head for years.
-
How can we get a hat???
-
the cashier saw the hat and said that he used to play that game.
So who was it? Some of us may remember him.

Please hitech, let us by some hats, bumper stickers, and sweatshirts from you?! I have a local deal on graphic design, you approve the logo and I can have them made and sell them at a zero profit!

HECK YEAH! I am good for buying 20 or so! Would be almost like Word Of Mouth advertising. Now if only my fellow Alabamians could read! I live in WV now, and this is different! They can read...just dont make them smile :old: Dang Mountain Dew Mouth...its a hideous sight :rofl
-
Lets get some AH swag!!! I'd wear that hat to EAA Oshkosh, its full of wingnuts and warbird junkies like myself. :cheers:
-
Count me IN!!!
I am a t-shirt and hat fan.
1 XL t-shirt no make that 2xXL and one XXL to send to Steve Lehto for him to wear during his YT videos.
2 hats , assuming they are one size fits all... which really does not.
-
My hat's still in pretty good shape. :aok

Several years ago I sent a box of random shirts I printed for the Dayton Gatherings, Combat Challenge, and 412th FNVG to HT's office, hopefully they got put to good use. <S>

How do you post a pix here? Does it have to be hosted somewhere?

It has to be hosted. I use IMGUR, it is free and easy. :old:

And if you get ULTactus to put a lipstick kiss on it............TRIPLE......... ..

I used to have the hat but it got lost in one of my moves, would love another.
-
I still have my Aces High hat! I wear it frequently during the winter. My Cod.............how many years ago was that sold? I also have the Aces High Disk I purchased also.
And I still have my Air Warrior Con hat from Indy that Jordi hosted in 2000 with a ribbon on the back, red that says remove before arming hanging from the back adjustment loop.
-
The main web page should be selling Hats, T-Shirts, Bumper stickers, but no stinkin' badges.
:salute
-
I still have my Airwarrior hat from the 1994 Houston Con back which has Fencer on the back. Wore the heck out of to airshows and such.. Do not wear it anymore as Chuck Yeagar signed it back at Oshkosh in 1997. PH got all the 334th personalized hats at the 2007 Mustang Roundup at Columbus Ohio which have been my goto hat ever since.
-
I have a "Virtual Wings Over Houston" AW CON '95 hat. We shared the hotel with a convention of fantasy game players who walked around with their arms folded because it made them invisible. :D

I was thinking belt buckles might go over well.

Love ya Sis!

Did you tell him you owned it Hitech? Have a discussion about the game? Thats cool someone finally recognized it.
Going back to the marketing comments. I think Bumper stickers might be a good approach. Thousands of people a week would see them on your car whether they want to or not.
-
In 20 years I had never had a player see my hat and say something.
HiTech
maybe in 20 years you never saw a random player. Not as if this game is “all over the internet. Matter of fact you Google aces high...iron maiden album and a school best you out. You Google flight sim.... no aces high for at least the first six pages of results, got tired of looking.
When I used to watch the hx channel I saw ads and we had two main arenas (full)
-
I never saw an ad before. I came over by word of mouth from FA.
-
I recall ads popping up during my google searches.
-
I came to Aces High when Fighter Ace went belly up too many moons ago. I used to be a bad pilot but now I am truly awful. :)
I would buy a shirt and a hat but I was thinking that maybe those baseball hats are for cissy's. A good 10 gallon Texas hat might be more appropriate for a lot of us. :lol

For the last couple of years I’ve wanted to paint D-Day stripes on my van.
My concern is how long they would stay, I’d like it to wear off after a month or so.

I remember the History ch ads, and after I was done with whatever game I was playing at the time, I remembered MSCFS and how much I loved it. Those AH commercials brought me to the game.
-
From my experience, most long term subscribers I met found this game thru a commercial on the military channel. Commercials are where it's at. I think things like bumper stickers and hats are the cheapest way to market and have hundreds if not thousands of people see your advertisement.
-
Bumper sticker only has to say "Play Aces High" with The website address imposed on a WW11 aircraft.
-
PC Gamer ad I think pulled me over from FA2 20 something years ago

I went to FA when AW died but more of my old friends came to AH so I finally made it over in 2001 I think.

Questions:
where can I get a hat?
What gun range did you visit?
What weapons did you shoot?
-
I have a t-shirt from Aces High Con III. I wear it all the time but have yet to hear someone mention anything. I’m not going to chunk it until I get the satisfaction of a mention. It’s still in decent condition too :).

And if you're not wearing your hat, how else do we know when we've seen Hitech? Always wondered what the creator of this great game looks like :lol
-
I have pictures, from a long forgotten hotel bar in Grapevine, 20+ year old pics don't really count though.
-
I remember those ads several moons ago.
I came here after the demise of Air Warrior back in the dial-up days of decades gone by. Was in search of a combat flight sim, having been first seen (in 1990 or so, Hellcats over the Pacific on the Mac), then found Air Warrior and was more than thrilled that you could start a multi-engine aircraft one engine at a time with Air Warrior. :old: :old:
Hitech does a mountain of work in a day when there's only about a pebble's worth in a day available.

I still have the one you guys signed and sent me when I was in Iraq.

I assumed they meant the ones from Conventions.

Back in 2008 my 11 year old son was watching battle 360 or wings, can't remember for sure, on the history channel and saw the aces high commercial. He pestered me for weeks wanting to play the game. Finally mom join in and I gave in. The rest is history. He is responsible for bravoa8, delta7, munteg, killer91, freeze15, and 1 more that I can't remember what they went by. Advertising works because I wouldn't be here if it was not for it. Make some hats.
-
I'll buy a couple of hats, where at??
-
I'd buy hats, too.
-
There is Aces High Hats :huh
Yes, indeed. Aces High Hats!
$15, $25, $30
my limit, sorry, job and pocketbook, would be a $50 hat, but GLADLY willing to buy a $50 hat like this.
-
I'd buy a hat and a t-shirt :)
There are online clothing companies that will do this for you. You pick the design/artwork, and what clothing items you want, and they make a website that takes care of it all. You send your patrons there, they purchase, and the clothing company and you split the costs. It is easier than you think.
Cheers!

I’m in for a hat and t-shirt.
