Super Huey UH-IX (Cosmi Corporation / 1985)

[WindWpn]

As an avid Black Shark flyer and study sim aficionado, I was taken back to 1985 when my parents came to visit and dropped off some old computer games I had when I was a kid. Anyone remember "Super Huey UH-IX - Helicopter Flight Simulator??" Wow, what a find! The graphics on the back of the jacket brings smiles and amazing sense of the evolution of where we have come from in flight simulation! I did a google search to find the screenies on the jacket, but could not find them. I may just have to photograph a few and post. :)

I LOVED Lynx ! played it for hours - always loved the spectrum .... had them all! hated Commodore 64`s for some reason - even though they were superior and didnt do 'colour clashing!'

 

then came the Amiga....... hmmmmmmm.

I'm a bit younger. Anyone remember the Comanche series? I started out with Comanche Maximum Overkill and went through Comanche 4. Classics =)

I remember mashing keyboard keys to figure out what did what since I didn't have a manual or internet access. I also remember my little brother shooting down his wingman because he's color vision deficient (wingman's radar signature is green, enemy tanks are yellow.)

LHX... played the bits out of it... same with 16 color f119 :P

Hey, I remember Super Huey and Combat Lynx. They were fantastic!

 

Another great chopper sim of that era was Gunship by Microprose (still got it boxed), followed by Gunship 2000 a few years later.

 

I think Gunship 2000 was the last heli sim I played, until I got Black Shark.

I used to play Tomahawk my only problem with it was the lens password stuff was a real problem.

That's a trip down memory lane.

 

I remember the plastic lens for Tomakawk. This was when software could be copied tape-to-tape. Other sims used the words from the manual - enter the Nth word in Paragraph N on page N. Back when manuals really were manuals.

 

I don't recall the gameplay in tomahawk, only the excitement when it came out. Sims then were just getting some realism. I had all those early combat sims up to Falcon 2 on the Amiga. Those were the days!

Digital Integration's HIИD will always be my favorite. Until Eagle Dynamics makes one of course. (hint hint)

Yeah, loved dropping troops into a hot zone. And then of course cruising around hosing down Mujahideen with the 12.7mm 4 barrel gatling gun all the while hoping that one of the little suckers doesn't pop off an SA-7. :gun_smilie:
