Friends of the Museum Lars Gramkow Nielsen - Software My first time!Gunship (1987) for the Commodore 64. I had this on tape(!). When we complain about missions taking too long to load in Falcon 4.0, hear this: 25 minutes to load a mission on the tape version of Gunship on the C64. Twenty-five minutes, I kid you not. Anyway, it was worth it. Having the opportunity to shoot down the fearsome, triangular-shaped Mi-24 Hind-D made it worth every second. I played Gunship until I was blue in the face. My FavouritesEF 2000. I own 4 copies of it:
Total Air War. As you can see, I am a huge fan of DID's flight sims (TFX is on the shelf as well, and if I ever come across the original F-29 Retaliator PC version, I'll buy that too!). The campaign system was more advanced than EF 2000, and the option to be an AWACS controller was a brilliant touch as well. My single gripe with Total Air War was that you couldn't fly the EF2000, and there was too much sand in the terrain. I missed the murky colours of Scandinavia. However, Total Air War is definitely a favourite, and in my eyes on of the most underrated sims ever released, maybe due to the messy debate over the price / add-on policy for owners of F-22 ADF. Falcon 4.0. Not much introduction needed here. What can I say - it's a milestone in military flight simulation, and is still improving. The sim against which all future hardcore military flight sims will be measured. I haven't gotten into Falcon 4.0 as much as I'd like though - it requires a serious investment of time to gain proficiency flying and fighting in the Falcon. |
