Greb Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 I think i may still have mine. I drove 125 miles round trip to Seattle to get a copy when it came out. I think i have the original Falcon too!
Hawkeye60 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 There ya go Hawkeye ...nice to see the diehards are still around! Yea...... Dam , getting old........... I still have this disk somewhere...... Is this the same program that became Flanker 2.5? 2.5 still runs on a modern pc! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

grunf Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 I've missed it, I'm afraid... I had an Amiga computer back in the day, and if I'm not mistaken, there was only a PC version of Flanker.
John C Flett Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Pretty sure I don't have Flanker anymore but still have my copies of Flanker 2 and LOMAC boxed up somewhere along with my old Microprose titles. Honestly though, I never gave Flanker or Falcon 4 the time they deserved when they were new. It was only much later when I'd reached a point where I had the time and patience to really learn them, probably around Flaming Cliffs 2 I guess.
Oceandar Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I had the first Flanker version. Don't know where the disk right now. I remember how hard and frustrating it was to play because its all cyrilic. Couldnt even shoot a single missile :D Great memories. Edited October 27, 2017 by Oceandar Mastering others is strength.

I have my Flanker T-shirt and name in the manual as one of the Beta testers. Those were the days.
Davee Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 it did! Flanker..Flanker 2..Lomac.. Flaming Cliffs ..DCS.... I remember A2A Guns missions ..start friday night and wouldn't shut it down until sunday night...ADDICT! H2H, Level pass - no break until crossing the 3/9 line. Tons of fun. Then the Hunt - Yup, dodging in and out of the hills. One scanning right, one left one low and then engaging for a free-for-all unless you got a good bounce. Full throttle, flaps down and circle until someone made a mistake. Who remembers the great Flanker Ladder? :)
