We used newsgroups back then which came long before the web, but with the same basic functionality like these forums (and the same trolls and flamings). I have found posts from me from 1994 discussing other games (as Google have indexed the old newsgroups) but not regarding 1942 though

Here is a post I found searching the old favorite rec.aviation.simulators regarding which is the best sim from 1994 where the tough demand on 8mb for best experience regarding 1942 is mentioned I don't agree with him - I would have said Aces over Europe back then

And here we have a classic "when is the patch coming" post regarding 1942 from 1994:

Interesting read. This brings back memory's of Hellcats over the pacific and Missions at Leyte Gulf. Played that on Atari 1024, loaded from floppy

Yeah! It's nice reading old newsgroups realizing that the same problems has been discussed for +25 years - like this thread from 1986 where they whine about the intrusive copy protection in Microsoft Flight Simulator (1!):

Whining in forums / newsgroups is where the internet was born
