How many of you played on this map???

[FALCONWING]

Waxed nostalgic and did some google searches...

Gotta say this gave me alittle lump in the throat...




So how may of you actually played on this map???

[The Fugitive]

I did. Back when planes looked like coffins. :-)

[TequilaChaser]

I played on it only a few times, that was back before the big AOL influx of a 1,000 ( or was it 10,000 ) dweebs, if I am remember ing correctly.. somewhere like 92 through 94 ???  ( don't hold me to these years, but it seems like it )

and me and the wife back then had heated debates ( arguements ) over how much money I was asking to spend on AW

I do have those graphics even one with bases that were named.  Those days are not missed.

yep that was back in DOS like 1.0 up un to 1.5? perhaps  ( was my first taste of WWII planes online and was around 91 or 92 I think,  finally no more modem to modem  1 on 1 with friends playing WWI / Red Barron  or toronado, etc.... )

those lakes moved later and had a central lake ( pond ) in the middle with rivers running between the countrys to split them around 94/95 when I finally got to play full time , playing   AirWarriorSVGA moving to AW4W ( for windows )

and joining AOL in late 94.......  AW came to AOL in beta in 95

     I thought we were the first wave of the 10,000 dweebs TC?  The PC guys long before the AOL crowd 
I sure don't miss the accidental logging in at 17:59 on GEnie for the $12 an hour whoopsie 

     I do miss the people from time to time, although a couple of old fossils still here

Those pyramids were sweet.

Hey boss,  glad to see your still alive.   I played that map for $6 an hr.

It feels strange to think it was more then 20 years ago when I started to play.

so we was the 1,000 dweebs & aol was the 10,000 dweebs???

I don't know, I am getting old, and all the ones before me and you, are older than dirt  lol

the wifey even thought, sure you can play it on AOL since it is cheaper now, until she saw those bills too...... even at $2 ( or whatver AOL charged ) I still had bills $600 to $800 dollars some higher

if only people knew how it was back then.........

 I was one of the 10,000 dweebs that came on in AOL. Looking at that map, though a little different than the one on AOL, it really brought back memories.

I know right....all these names and fights came to mind....amazing at how such a simple map worked for us back then.


TC, i played aol when it was free...rre4 was my arena and i joined a squad called Birds of prey when I graduated form the practice arena....

I remember tons of fights with a dweeb called Vati on the Bz/cz border.....and I remember another dweeb called Hajo who was such an enthusiast he would fly his 190 over...BnZ and then run back home.....drove me nuts!  When we finally met at an AW con I got to appreciate his simmer point of view....

[Shuffler]

Yup the terrains have really changed.....
