Anybody else felt like they were listening to the soundtrack of an '80s video game?

The more I listen to Meteor's music, the more it reminds me of the soundtrack to Spectrum Holoybyte's Top Gun: Fire at Will!, specifically, the following tracks:

As a sim, Top Gun: Fire at Will! was an abomination, but it was still incredibly entertaining. You played it simply to advance the story, which was essentially a reboot of the franchise. Nice to see James Tolkan "reprise" his role as a different character!

My son heard the latest song posted on Heatblur's YouTube channel when he walked into the room and asked if I was watching Dragon Ball lol.

"It's amazing, even at the Formula 1 level how many drivers still think the brakes are for slowing the car down."

I see your point, although I wouldn't call it an abomination.

I believe it was a "light sim", (of the study sim kind ?) and was the very first time I got acquainted with the F-14 Tomcat in a PC.

The flight models of the several aircraft depicted in the sim were not so bad (ex. it was really difficult to dogfight against MiG-29 and the likes); it had a truly immersive vídeo plot; fetured carrier landings; etc.

 

Don't even know if Fleet Defender was ever sold here in Portugal in the 90's.

So I only had the opportunity to fly the Tomcat again a few years back (in the defunct) Free Falcon 5, and lately in Aerosoft F-14X for FSX.

 

How do you know his name is Will??

 

Because it's the guy right there.

It would be great if there was an option in the cockpit to play the music from the album while flying, say tune a specific radio freq on an unused radio with just the standard play/stop and shuffle option, volume controlled by radio volume etc.

Understand you could just alt-tab out and play in your usual player, but for those of us in VR and without a keyboard within reach of their 'sim pit' it would be a nice option.

The tape player from the Viggen is supposedly also in the Tomcat

Spectrum Holoybyte's Top Gun: Fire at Will on PC was the best! It was arcade but with simulation at the same time! I agree, the music is extremely identical.

 

It was very enjoyable. It told a very good story and the movies were good and the cast was great. I have to say, it was extremely difficult at times, even at the lower difficulty levels.

How did I miss this game at the time? It looks very similar to US Navy Fighters, which came out two years earlier, which I absolutely loved. Also had video cut scenes in between missions.

i didn't miss it in 1995 here in Portugal, but missed Fleet Defender; US Navy Fighters; etc ... go figure.

 

In those times before the internet, the availability of PC games / sims was much more limited than today, limited to the shelves of speciality stores.

Well done to Meteor for getting involved in this, has subsequently prompted me to add their Inner Demon and Parallel Lives albums to my 'Synthwave' playlist that I have blasting when I am out cruisin' in my 89 'Vette :-). :happy:

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I'll definitely wear a suit and get a perm job to my hair and enforce an 80s themed dress/hair code if I play these in a party. Looking forward to tearing up both the skies and my ear drums, LN. Happy New Year!

Am I the only one dying to wait for any bit of information? Maybe something about a possbile deck crew they've been teasing for a while? Come on just a little something to hold on to, can't wait for the Tomcat!

 

edit: well, I actually wanted to post this in the main F-14 news thread...
