WDH Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 That's a golden find and brings back some very good memories of Falcon 3.0. Brady Quote
Jeremiah Weed Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 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. Quote
Viper6 Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 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 You have some great stuff there!! Quote
alex70b Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Nice collection racindriver1. You're not that old .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 . Cheers. Quote
Alexander51 Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Now this does bring back the memories indeed! Out of the collection you have on display, I definitely remember trying Sturmovik. What was that 1990 or thereabouts? Quote

I also flew over Panama a lot in MiG-29. yeh ..was just looking at that part...at the botton of every page of the manual was 4 russian words and english translation...now that beats starforce anytime..lol (your from fiddlers green ..?...hows the zombies doin ova there) Quote
Jeremiah Weed Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 your from fiddlers green ..?...hows the zombies doin ova there 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.

macelena Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 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. 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 Quote
Rodent Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Man I loved Fleet Defender. Awesome campaigns and so much stuff happening all the time. Quote
serverandenforcer Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 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. Quote
HotNess Posted December 29, 2008 Author Posted December 29, 2008 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 xx v xx Quote

That's how I did it. Quote
Sakai Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 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 Quote
JediMaster Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 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. Quote
scouserlad13 Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Nice collection. If you dont want em, ive got one word for you.... EBAY! Quote
sparkomatic Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 - what, now mention of Jane's series? Or Tornado? Or a company called Orion? What about TFX? Quote
JediMaster Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Or Tornado? Uh, check the lower right of the 2nd pic. Jane's first was USNF and that came out later than all of those pictured. Quote
+ST0RM Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 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! Quote
sparkomatic Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 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... Quote
MAKO69 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 This is what I found in mine, better get it back up there before the Darth Michelle gets home. Quote
column5 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 This is what I found in mine, better get it back up there before the Darth Michelle gets home. Is that...no...is that pornography printed in magazines??? That is sooo old skool. Quote
nwdingo Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) This is what I found in mine, better get it back up there before the Darth Michelle gets home. Thats cool...i had a collection like that once...lol Edited December 31, 2008 by nwdingo Quote
