Aries Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Just set it all up on an old Mac G4 Quicksilver... ...set up a USB joystick emulating mouse control through Overdrive... :thumbup: Boy oh boy, this sim simply kicks ass, fast paced vector graphics and incredibly dynamic missions and views... Just to bring it up for all of you that missed it, weren't born or something... Here's the ultimate ethusiast's web page devoted to the sim: Steve's HOG HEAVEN And a couple of vids: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] ...the few, the proud, the remaining...

NoJoe Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I've still got the original A-10 Attack and A-10 Cuba for Mac sitting at home on the shelf. These videos definitely bring me back! Thanks Aries! :D The physics in those games was well ahead of its time. --NoJoe
Headspace Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Awesome trip down memory lane. I remember when the demo for A-10 Cuba! came out, it was all I wanted to do.
Impact Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 This was also the first flightsim to have a really detailed damage model, breaking of wings, visible damage to landing gear, and really detailed flightmodel. ------=:: I FLY BLEIFREI ::=------
