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

Back to Baghdad demands over $70 dollars when most contemporary titles cost about $40, making it one of the most expensive games (in terms of price) produced for the PC. It was only recently surpassed by Rainbow Six: Collector's Edition.
