I've played Battle of Britain on my old IBM PS2 8086... on a FLOPPY Wow what a trip back memory lane...



At that time I was also playing Flight of the Intruder. This was so cool back then, One coulb fly a A-6 while a friend flew an F-4 for cover... talk about massively mutiplier...

Wow... found it here

Must of been in 88 or 89 when I flew these...

lol. I was 5 years old when I first played MicroProse's "Dogfight: 80 years of aerial warfare"

here go to 0:25 for epic intro:




And after watching... WE complain about CloD stuttering!?!?!?!?!

Oh boy the nostalgia, and that I even remember playing this is amazing. And guess what? My favourite period was easily World War II

Also played F29 Retaliator

I played airwarrior way back on a tinpot modem - but I think you are refering to European Air War - which was great fun - started playing that just before I graduated to IL2 - I was in JZG back then and remember the good old days of IL2 FB VEF,VWF(I think that was it - JZG Kaiser was #1 ranked pilot there and had a bounty on his head - but an ai got him in the end lol).

I started my combat flight gaming with the little add in combat option in MS Flight Simulator 4.0. Enemy planes were little more than sticks and the ground was a large flat grid surrounded on all sides by two dimensional cut out triangular walls (mountains?).

That was certainly a labour of imagination.
