First Sims
First sims I was into deep were Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, and F-15 Strike Eagle II (PC-AT/286). I had dallied with other sims like Gunship (1987), but nothing in depth. Then of course there was LHX Attack Chopper.
My Favourites
Strike Commander was probably one of my all time favorite games; it's a shame it's never been sequelled. In more recent years, I went through the whole Jane's series: US Navy Fighters, Advanced Tactical Fighters, ATF Gold, Fighters Anthology, Longbow, Longbow 2, F-15 by Janes Combat Simulations, F/A-18 by Janes, Fleet Command, Israeli Air Force and USAF.
