Coxy_99 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Atari back in the day my first F14 sim :smartass:
WinterH Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Looks very similar ACE I was playing on C64, then again though, probably most of the sims from those days look very similar :D. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
lunaticfringe Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Summer that came out, I was 8. Got to the point where I could go both sides of the TOP GUN soundtrack cassette on a single life. Dan and Steve Kitchen were geniuses. For my money, the 2600 version was more impressive than the 7800 given how little they had to work with- between Tomcat and Space Shuttle, they created the ultimate in simulation experiences one could have on Atari's hardware. They had no good business trying to pull them off, and they did it anyways with finesse. The base code was so good, Absolute recycled it two generations later in Turn and Burn on SNES, then Majesco (who had acquired the rights) double dipped with F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Super Hornet on GBA.
Kayos Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Ah, the good old days :) I remember them well. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

33-DFTC Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 So much memories. I still have the game and its extension, Marine Fighters ; these games were fantastic. There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC
captain_dalan Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 For me it was this. I was 10 years old and it was the most awesome thing ever. Mine as well. I never had the rig to run Fleet Defender and by the time i had a decent PC i ran this and later ATF. I still remember my first night mission in the F-18........ and how utterly lost i was. Funny, USNF got AC limitations much better then later Jane's titles. I recall sensor operations being quite different from plane to plane (like you had no chance on locking any fighters in the Hornet at more then 20nm away- unlike in the Tomcat, and actually having to mount FLIRs and SPIKEs for certain missions) But the very first air simulation was Dogfight 80 years of aerial warfare, followed by F-19 :) Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache, F4U Corsair, WWII Assets Pack
Beamscanner Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 For me it was this. I was 10 years old and it was the most awesome thing ever. First as well for me. I was probably 8 or 9.

M460 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 This was my first F-14 Sim! #I've been dreaming about an unlicensed version of the MIG-31... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

SharkBaztard Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 I'm proud to say my first fighter sim was off a floppy disk as well!! Funny, now we extract the files through a cable or air.. and enjoy in VR!! 1
craig_sez Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 This was my 1st c 64 game,loved it.. The "SCALES" of aeronautical performance will weigh heavily on your next move..
CheckGear Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 In case anybody's interested, Fleet Defender is now available on Steam. It's basically the Gold edition, including the multimedia features, although I haven't figured out how to run that particular side of the program. But the sim itself is the complete package and works like a charm. It'll certainly keep you occupied until the DCS module is released!

Copy it over to a directory in DOSBox, and install Windows 3.11 in DOSBox. Install Fleet Defender from within 3.11, and configure up the sound card settings- then it'll run correctly, with the loader and documentary media available.
