Glamdring Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Way too many to mention. But a few that stand out... F15 Strike Eagle on the Spectrum. First proper flight sim, loved it. Gunship on the Spectrum. First proper heli sim, loved it. Fighter Bomber on the Atari ST. I remember me and my mate watching a guy playing it in our local computer shop. Our jaws both hit the deck when the wings on the F111 swept back :O F19 Stealth Fighter on the Atari ST. Me and the same mate bought it from John Menzies on the same day and spent 2 hours devouring the rather hefty manual in the local Wimpy restaurant. Falcon on the Atari ST. Need I say more. F16 Combat Pilot on the Atari ST. First ever multiplayer flight sim experience via the good old null modem lead. Many a late night on that one along with Flight of the Intruder. Birds of Prey and Fleet Defender on the Amiga are also worthy mentions in the 16 bit era. Jet Fighter 2 on the PC. So basic it could run from a single floppy on the crappy office computer we had at work. Me and my mate spent many a long nightshift practising carrier landings and shooting down enemy cruise missiles on this. Tornado on the PC. Probably the best flight sim ever made. The depth of this sim was truly immense. I've always wondered what Tornado would look like if it was remade today. TFX on the PC. Atmospheric overload. It came with a separate audio CD to provide the in game tuneage. It rocked. I believe EF2000 was the sequel, never got around to that one. Mig Alley. Amazing visuals for the time. IL2. Need I say more. LOMAC. I remember almost having a special sex pee in my pants when I first played this. It was truly a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIKBELL Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My favorite was the IL-2 series.. There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy.

Mustang Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The one and only. I could only get a purple heart on this bad boy as a five year old. Had to park off the end of the runway and shoot friendlies in the flare in order to get a few kills. I had the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k to play this on (F-19 was slightly before F-117) wireframe models and 2 FPS :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic sim, such a good atmosphere. Loved the 'cutscenes' when you failed to meet the CO's expectations. "I zigged when I should have zagged" .ect. I used to actually name my characters "Lt Col. <whatever>" because I couldn't get the rank myself lol. Good times. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisBelle Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 In my case I cant stick to a certain Game only and keep saying this one was my favourite one. I used to play lots of Games across many Plattforms and all of them used to be my favourite...well until the next one appeared. But if I get way back in the time and think about which Game I was lokking for the most, was for sure Turn and Burn on SNES...holy cow...this was veeeeeeryx long ago. I ordered the Game as soon as I knew it would be available soon, and I remembered the day when I bought it in the store...I was waiting 3 hours in front of the stores door in the morning and as it finaly opened up I was the first customer and exactly knew what I wanted to buy...I was sooo happy about the Game that I gave a 5 bugs tip to the seller and I remembered a great time playing this Game. Turn and Burn: No Fly Zone.

Pepec9124 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I'm quite young so my story is short. LO:MAC demo - I didn't liked it, it went to trashbin after few hours. It was too hard for me, but. IL-2 - Nah, I don't like props but I liked physics. FS2004 - It was good but I didn't liked collision model or lack of it. LO:MAC 1.01 take 2 - This time I had more expirience in flying (on keyboard ;)) and I liked to fly A-10A and F-15C. After one week of learning I have decided to buy Logitech Attack 3. It was huge step forward, flying was very fluid. Totally my favourite sim from the past. I remember flying with some people via virtual lan. Short adventure in FSX. It was quite good. I liked to fly Bombardier Learjet XR45. I made my first Free Track kit, it was crap, too low fps camera.

whiteladder Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 DI Tomahawk now that is a classic!! I had it on the Amstrad 464 does anyone remember the copy protection for this game... it basically created a unique code each time the game started, which you could only read if you viewed it on screen through a special lens supplied with the game.

Jester Darrak Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Su-27 Flanker (Squadron Commander Edition) LHX TFX That's pretty much it. I don't know with what I started. But that was the time when my interests moved from steam trains to steel birds. Screw girls, flying planes is better than woo-hoo. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
