Let's Play Apache Longbow Assault

[monsterZER0]

Hey guys, I don't know if any of you watch Let's Play videos (I personally am hooked on them ), but I started one on a pretty cool 'light' helo sim called Apache Longbow Assault. The game is ridiculously fun and has a believable flight model.

 

Check it out if you have a free minute, they're pretty entertaining. And feel free to comment on my horrible Apache flying skills... Up to mission 8 already. Having a little trouble with this one, lol... :joystick:

(Edit): I tried embedding the video but it didn't work so I just put up the link to the newest LP

Looks like a blast. Did you ever play a game called Thunderhawk? Was my first video game helicopter love, followed by Gunship 2000.

Looks like a cleaner and pretty version of novalogic Commache

 

 

Actually looks like pick up and play fun though. First time hearing of it that's for sure.

Unfortunately I never did play Thunderhawk or Commanche. I'm a (relatively) late bloomer when it comes to flight sims (spent the 90's and early 2000's playing Quake and the like, lol) so I missed a lot of the golden era classics... Didn't really discover flight sims until late '07 when I bought LOMAC on a whim, which led to DCS, FreeFalcon, so on and so forth.

 

This game is surprisingly fun and addictive, however. If you can find a reasonably priced copy (the going prices on amazon are just absurd. A new-in-box copy is $125.00!!!) I'd would recommend you give it a shot. I only hope the new Apache Air Assault is half as fun...

 

Thanks for watching though guys, means a lot :)

$125??????? Jeez, that's a price point to complain about.
