Hahaha well said Brewber!:D

Well, when the word Space Sim is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is Elite! I think it was elected the best game of 1985 and it influenced all space sims after it. One of the two developers also made a sequel called Frontier which was also very good. I've only played the first game of the Wing Commander series, because the rest were not released on the Amiga (I didn't have an.. ehm..IBM compatible:) at home until quite recently. The only thing that's fun about them is Lock-on anyway :D). On the Amiga I finished the 32 colour version, but then I found out that there was also a 256 colour version, so I had to finish it again! :) Elite is my favourite.

It was ok. It was AGA only I think, no RTG. You could probably get the best out of it if you had an accelerator. There was a patch for 68040 optimization, but it didn't work for me when I got my Blizzard PPC. Without the patch it's a bit slow :) Here's something I just found on Google about it: Q. Will it be the full version? A. Yes, as far as was completed. 100% working although slightly buggy in places. It's a blinding game! Q. Will TFX be on the floppy disks as well? A. At the moment, no. We are doing our best but don't hold your breath, it's quite large. Q. What kind of machine does TFX need to run? A. Any AGA Amiga with the 2MB of Fast RAM and a hard drive though of course the faster the better. There are FPU and 68040 versions but it does not run on the 68060 at this time, we're working on fixing this. Q. Why wasn't TFX released? A. At the time an (fast) AGA Amiga with a hard drive and Fast RAM was considered to be too small a market. These days this isn't a problem. Q. Why are CU Amiga giving TFX away? A. Because we can, because we know you want it and because we're the Best Amiga Magazine in the World.The magazine that released it was CU Amiga, issue October 1997. As far as I can remember their final issue was released sometime in 1999.

This thread brings lots of memories in deed. Someone even mentioned Chuck Yeager's AFT! And even better, I have finally got something to write about on the forum (1st post)! :) The ones that I can remember are: 1. Flight Simulator on a friend's IBM (the one that looked like a luggage and had a very small monitor) 2. ACE on ZX Spectum (it doesn't get more realistic than that!:D) 3. Falcon (Amiga) 4. Interceptor (Amiga) 5. Fighter Bomber (Amiga) 6. F-16 Combat Pilot (Amiga) 7. Gunship (Amiga) 8. Gunship 2000 (Amiga) 9. F-15 SE 2 (Amiga) 10. F-19 SF (Amiga) 11. BattleHawks 1942 (Amiga) 12. F29 Retaliator (Amiga) doh :music_whistling: 13. Combat Air Patrol (Amiga) 14. A10 Tank Killer (Amiga) 15. Birds of Prey (Amiga) I think part of this was written in Blitz Basic, but I didn't play too much with this one 16. TFX (Amiga) This was unifinished and released free by a magazine 17. Jetpilot (Amiga) Well, never really played this one because it required an analog joystick. It looked quite cool though and you could fly the F-104 among others. 18. LockOn-Flamming Cliffs (PC) Now that's quite a leap! :) Oh I forgot! Flight of the Intruder (Spectrum Holobyte) on the Amiga. There was also a novell in the box, on which the game was based. I also had another one on the Amiga which was about the battle of Britain, but I can't remember the title. By the way, I always wanted to fly the A7, but I don't think there's any decent simulator that features it. Does anyone know of any titles?
