That's a golden find and brings back some very good memories of Falcon 3.0.

That Su-25 game was pretty fun, I remember you had to translate a Russian word to English using the manual for copy protection. I also flew over Panama a lot in MiG-29.

Oh My what a Gold mine!! I remember running from seven Migs in Fleet defender!

I also remember being surprised at the size of the Falcon 3.0 and 4.0 manual :blink:

You have some great stuff there!! :ok:

Nice collection racindriver1.

You're not that old :no: .I remember much older titles like the first Flight simulator and F-15 Eagle which ran on my IBM XT compatible PC. or the even older super Huey UH-1 simulator for my brand new Comodore 64 computer.

Of course after that came lots of other goodies.But i don't remember the names of ......What was i talking about just now :grandpa: .

Oh you know, we are all just flying our red and white flags, dancing to Garry Owen, and laughing at everyone going down the trail to Hell while sipping from our canteens, you know, the normal. :biggrin:

I got some of these. Novalogic F-22(1,2 and 3), F-16 and MiG-29.

Plus Black Knight, Strike Eagle II&III...that´s my childhood.

Microsoft Combat Flight Simulators are brand new compared to that.

 

:grandpa: My first aircraft game (not sim) was "Wings of Fury", wich came in

a pack including the first edition of prince of persia. Lovely 90s

Posted
Man I loved Fleet Defender. Awesome campaigns and so much stuff happening all the time.

 

Not to mention to utilize an F-14's avionics at a level that hasn't been achieved by any other sim so far.

Posted

i do recall one mission early on which i hated in it...might even have been first mission...where you have to chase down and kill about 5 incoming missiles....it pi**ed me off so much..lol

Use the pheonix's multi targeting capability then go after the one that was closest to the carrier. That's how I did it.

Posted

LOL, I do fondly remember cruisin up the Kurile Islands with my F/A-18, got Falcon 3.0 gold, had all expansions. As for Air Warrior, well, back when AOL had it for free I played for HOURS on end, but I was like 11 or 12 so work didn't mess up my gaming scedule like it does now! lol

Posted

I had most of those as well. Never had Harrier or Birds of Prey, though.

The Su-25 one was ok, but using the LHX engine it had lots of limitations. I liked the A-10 games out then better.

Posted

Wow, that is a great collection. I had all except for Harrier and the Stormovik sims.

 

I have agree that we've yet to see anything close to mission planning and the F-14's avionics as we saw in Tornado and Fleet Defender. Although the Falcon series has given it a strong go with the Viper.

 

You are sitting on a small pot of gold there Vanessa.

 

Cheers!

Posted
Uh, check the lower right of the 2nd pic.

 

Jane's first was USNF and that came out later than all of those pictured.

 

 

 

...the Tornado version I had did not have a tan box...and I know that USNF came out later...

Is that...no...is that pornography printed in magazines??? That is sooo old skool. :blink:
