Incredible flight simulator game for its time!

The Good
Really fantastic movies and menus screens leading to a great variety of missions and campaigns, get to manage your squadron logisitics and missions. This game goes beyond a simple flight sim to add a real war mentality to make your missions more believable and important. Most of the major and complex electronic systems of the F-16 are modelled...the manual is 300 pages long!

The Bad
This is a 1st generation 3D object game (NOT 3D texturing/acceleration), flat shading colours and simple polygonal models. Some of the weapon and radar modelling seems very simplified, but hey it runs on a 12MHZ PC!

The Bottom Line
This is a 386 game but if you can get past its dated appearance (and get it to run on your modern PC) it has great depth and realism for those wanting a whole flight sim experience.

The best flight combat sim of 1991

The Good
Great graphics. Easy to jump in and play.

The Bad
Forced me to upgrade to dos 5. No way around it at the time.

The Bottom Line
Hot combat sim for early VGA systems.
