Trivia

Falcon 3.0 was named #10 overall among the “150 Best Games of All Time” by Computer Gaming World Magazine (15th Anniversary Issue--November 1996).

Contributed by PCGamer77 Bronze Star Contributing Member (3025) on May 01, 2008.

Spectrum Holobyte at one time planned an additional expansion pack for Falcon 3.0 in the same vein as Mig 29, Hornet, and Operating: Fighting Tiger that would let you fly an A-10 Warthog. Advertisements were even made and distributed with Falcon Gold (a CD-ROM version that boxed all of the above in a single set), but alas A-10 never saw the light of day.

Falcon 3.0 was one of the few games released before 1995 that specifically utilized the optional add-in math coprocessor (now standard on everything made since the 80486) for additional functionality. If you had a math coprocessor, Falcon would give you the option of using it to improve the accuracy of the flight model and increase detail -- without slowing down the simulation.
