My first was on The Timex Sinclair 1000 (TS1000)

it loaded from a cassette tape.

[Cupra]

US Navy Fighters for DOS in 1994. Great Game until now :joystick:

I think the first flight sim I ever played was Flight Simulator on a friend's IBM (the one that looked like a luggage and had a tiny yellow screen).

She said she had a game in which you could fly an airplane but she couldn't figure out how to take off. I managed to take off (out of pure luck probably) and then we just flew around spotting things on the ground, like people rowing on rivers etc. I bet those were supposed to be something else though! :)

 

Then I played a lot of ACE on the Spectrum and even more Falcon and Combat Pilot on the Amiga.

 

I think I've probably played almost every flight sim released on those machines, but nothing on PCs in the 90s since I first got a PC in 2000, because the job required it.

 

One day I was at a friends house and skimmed through one of his PC magazines.

Just as I was getting bored, I came accross an article about a Russian flight sim.

You can probably imagine the culture shock of jumping from Tornado and the unfinished Amiga version of TFX, to Lockon. :D

First civie sim - Microsoft (SubLogic?) Flight Simulator 2.0. Ran it from a 5.25" floppy on a IBM PCjr. That thing did not even have a hard drive. It ran off a cartridge. :)

Some DOS Chopper game... hung out with a few Navy Electronics techs and we played that when at sea...

 

Dabbled in MSFS #.. um... some low number... can't remember... same type of putzing around in MSCFS2 Pacific . Tried MP- didn't work to well. (AOL at the time)

 

 

 

But my first sustained long term multiplayer war-fightin'-waste-layin'-Oh-my-god-it's-Konny flight game was Nova F22 Raptor / Lightning 3

As I remember back so my very very first one was a Harrier Game...I will not call it Flight Simulator. The name was somethings with Jump jet, I played it on my cousines PC which was a Schneider. later when we got a C-64 I played some games like Fighter Bomber, Birds of Prey, Interceptor and such a stuff. I liked that pretty much though and spended a lot of time with that. Later we got Ace of Aces. A nice split screen pvp Game on C-64...the start screen music was from the movie "the Boat". I sometimes playd F-16 Flacon on an Friendfs Amiga and was so much jealous about that awesome game, while I "only" had Fighter Bomber...nice.

 

Then I had no pc for a long time, I used to play Playstation and havent played Flightsims for a long time, exept the ACE Combat series on Playstation 1. Then in June 2001 I got my first PC and i made a long dreamed dream become realized...to buy myself a Flightsim what I ever wanted to have. So my first one was F-18 Hornet and later the Corea F-18. I loved that game. The 3D Cockpit...that was cool.

 

thinking back, I actually loved all of these games

[EtherealN]

Programmed calculator landing game then

I'm envious. Best we ever did with our calculators back in elem was an ASCII pong clone.

[hassata]

I *think* B17 Bomber on Intellivision

 

 

Beeeeeaaaaaaaaa Seventeeeeeeeeeeen Bowm-ber lol

[oritpro]

Microprose F-15 Strike Eagle. I can't remember if this was on the PC or C64 though. Had *a lot* of sims back then.

 

Anyone remember Red Storm Rising? Loved that on the C64 and was reading the book at the same time.

[Phantom88]

Any one remember NovaLogic Mig-29? I loved the voiceover w/t thick Russian Accent. It seemed so realistic like I was in "FireFox" or something :)

[Pilotasso]

Played F-15 strike eagle and F-19 on a friends computer back in 1990, then 3 years later I had a PC of my own. My first game was actually a space SIM, wing commander II. My first SIM if my memory doesnt fail me was DOGFIGHT by micropose.

 

Many followed soon, the most notable ones were F-29 Retaliator, falcon 3 GOLD, strike commander, F-22TAW, Falcon 4, and now LOMAC and DCS series.

[Lixma 06]

Fighter Pilot for the ZX-Spectrum. (Although this isn't the Speccy version)

 

[Rusty_M]

I wish I knew which one I had on the spectrum. i remember a message "flew too fast with wheels down" if you did just that.

I wish they'd bring back the Wing Commander series those were good times, I played them all.

[Malleus]

My first sim was TFX, but I didn't really understand it back then (didn't know enough english). The first sim I actually really got into was F-22 Air Dominance Fighter and subsequently Total Air War, and I still say it's one of the best air combat sim game out there.

[sofie_59]

My first was Falcon 3.0

And i still have the cd.

And i remember when i saw steel beasts for the first time,then it was just for the military and i post a mail to a dude in a forum and beg him to send me a copy, AND hi did. He send it from US to me and i have to pay a man in germany for the copy! That was long before it made it to the public, So i got the military version of the first Steel Beasts

[Pilotasso]

Full missions in Strike commander.
