I think a lot of us had the unrealistic expectation that BOP might somehow bring depth and high performance to the console and thus make it available to a much larger market. Unfortunately they fell somewhat short of this mark, and so despite BOP being an impressive and entertaining game in its own right, one cannot help but notice that it fell far short of its potential. Some of it is limitations of the console but I still believe a lot of it comes from rushing the game to production and skipping corners on design. It seems to be the trend with a lot of games nowadays...
Whatever happened to games like Red Baron, European Air War, Air Warrior, and Luftwaffe commander?

I'm not gonna get involved in the rest of the thread because I've said my piece more than once. But just wanted to say, bang on the money, I miss the Air Warrior Days
it wouldn't cut the mustard by today's standards, but by god it was amazing at the time. And no mentally long lists of keys just all done using commands in the escape key
