Is that game worth picking up? I've heard it doesn't have much lasting appeal.

Anyway, welcome back to the skies.

Amstrad 464 ftw! Especially with the monochrome screen, every game was in hi-tech night vision!

All I can remember is Harrier Attack, and not being very good at it.

I also took a break from IL2 Birds of Prey (PS3), but I have been playing for about 3 days now and I have to say that I am impressed to see people online even more than before. I think I had more trouble finding a game back then than now lol (mostly on realistic).

Long Live the flight sims!!

Spectrum..
I remember dreading it as the end of the tape approached because you never knew if it was actually loading, or if it had crashed 10 mins ago and was just pretending to load... or the joy of getting past the bit of the tape where you knew it crashed nearly every time because thats where it chewed it up..

Jeez, the shit I had to put up with as a child.

Anyone play Gunship with it's lenslock system where once you'd got through the
terror of loading you had to hold up a little plastic lens provided to decipher the code presented- the frustration of crappy illegible letters drove me insane! As you say winny the crap we put up with.....
