Description

Back to Baghdad is a simulation of the air war over Iraq a few years after the end of the Gulf War, with you taking the place of a F-16 pilot in a series of "one off" missions.

The game included a fairly detailed rendering of the F-16, it's cockpit and systems. The terrain engine mapped most of southern Iraq using satellite imagery, and did all of this with a software renderer.

Trivia

The game itself seems to have been largely built out of "off the shelf" parts. The render, terrain, sounds etc. were all from 3rd parties, all displayed prominently on the box. It was up to the creators, MSI, to provide the logic to put all of the pieces together into a game.
