I don't think so, at least none are mentioned anywhere

Its sacrilegious to not have sheep. I’ll never play it <blank stare>

I remember chasing a con and passing over a hill top. I looked down and saw sheep. I immediately reduced throttle and turned. I noted the con turned too. I was watching him with a weary eye. As it turned out, he had the same idea. We landed on the hill top to visit the sheep.

"to visit"

Those showed up for a short time  in the stores over here about 12 years ago. Of course at that time I had no use for it, but now you can buy it in a few online stores for like 5€

Well, the guys from steam don't have to buy the game. Those who bought this CD in 2011 actually paid like 25€ or so (I don't recall the exact amount anymore)

Does the promo work?  I see WW1 planes on the box.  Isn't that AH2 or 3 ?

Love that poster!

If there is a quick reference card for keyboard mappings that would be cool too.

Only a quick start guide, basically just telling you how to install the game.

Well, now I got Aces High, Version 2.25, Patch 2 on my computer  :aok

Unfortunately, that's the end of the story. Of course I can't reach any online arenas, but account administration doesn't work, too. 'Webpage Help' runs into 404. Nowhere to enter my code for the "two months free subscription (worth 19.99€) promised on the backside of the CD case. Bummer.

I followed the instructions and all I got was a lousy poster  :old:
(my son still thinks the poster is way cool   :rock)

I think the poster is way cool, too.  Sorry, but I guess the 2 months free was for AHII, not AHIII.  Was worth a shot.

There is no option to enter any code when you create an account or try to subscribe in AHIII, I tried both steam and the stand-alone version (which, by they way, downloaded at only 1/5th the speed of the steam edition), I also don't remember having seen such a thing in AHII.  :headscratch:

Well, the cover only says "Aces High"....

But of course that's silly nitpicking. It's also not a real problem, I can imagine being the first one in years to buy this disk. It's not on regular sale or advertised anywhere and AFAIK Iceberg Interactive doesn't have the rights anymore.

that was kazaa's artwork from a competition and that is us flying the Tiffie when it got re-modelled.

I'll sign it if you would like Lusche.     :banana:
