I also believe thats when Hitech was a cheater. shooting people down from the other side of the map.  Also was the time of the philadelphia experiment, wish we had that now.

I missed the DOS days, and I'm glad I did with the stories I've heard about outrageous bills.  :O

I'm one of those 10,000 dweebs that joined when it was free on AOL. :banana:
RRPac2 was my arena think that was '95, or '96. I stuck with it until EA closed the doors. I then came over to AH and I've been here ever since. :airplane:

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....


yep I was so happy when they decided to go free, it really took a load off of wife ack, but then they came back and went back to some type of pay

the map posted above is older than what AOL had,  in AOL Cz Land was to the west while Bz Land was south with  Az  east

and they only had one relaxed realism arena & one full realism arena, which switched up every other month ...one month be ETO following month would be PTO then back to ETO, etc then they added extra rr arenas until it was up to 4 or 6 and Training if I remember correctly was on a completely different server in the beginning of AW on AOL, the first time I came across the infidel LOL ......  I left and went to Gamestorm during AW2 beta which ended up becoming big Week then eventually AW3

edit:  I forgot, AOL also had   AW-MAC and the MAC users had their own individual server as well, which the regular windows crowd ( well most of them ) hardly even knew the MAC side was there or existed .........

AW had negative land map too. Fly south long enough and you'd find the bases had water and land transposed, and you'd get mega points for even shooting a hangar. Like a 2 hour ride though, so no one believed it until they actually found it. Not sure if it was a glitch or an Easter egg.

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

HiTech

It's stranger to think that I had barely been born, and that I've been playing Aces High for 1/3 of my life.

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

Crap Falc!  AW SVGA boxed version and some free time on Genei and I got a number not a name.  I only played it until it ran out as I couldn't afford the phone bills as I was a single parent with two youngsters, and now I feel really old as my youngest is 31.  I started back into AW when it went AW4Winblows on AOHELL and stayed until it was killed by Electronic Farts.  I still refuse to buy any game from EA! :aok  Man the graphics were worse than some of the games for the Commodore 64/128 in the SVGA version of AW, but you were flying against REAL people!    Thanks Falc for impressing upon me just how frigging old dirt is and now I know that I'm older than it.  What an old friend you turned out to be. roflol

All the Best...
