back in my day if you wanted to flight "sim" dad would strap you to roof of car, add cardboard wings to the car, and then toss you a stick to use (maybe a dog bone) and there you go....you are flight simming

Fond memories... I've played them all accept that "Battle of Britain" in the middle... Damn I'm old too

EDIT: Or rather - I'm "computer old", as with my 42 years I don't feel that old IRL - but as a computer gamer I feel like past 100

It was a combination of strategy and Pseudo-flight sim. Sort of a very primitive BOB2. But I liked a lot the strategy part, and that part is what I miss in COD.

Maybe i will give BOB2 a try, but only as a strategy game. I am so spoilt by COD, that I doubt I coud enjoy the sim part.

Long live to the C-64!!

Thanks for the welcome. That box image of Microprose F-15 brings back memories. That was my first sim on the Commodore 64. All hail Microprose, Spectrum Holobyte whatever. Constantly releasing a new sim that played out of the box, no patching needed, then move on to the next one. Fly the F-15, move on to the F-117, F-14, F-19, B17, Harrier, Falcon, Apache etc etc. And of cause 1942 Pacific Air War and European Air War. Fast food flight swimming but it was great. Great days, long hours, no wife and a fridge full of beer.
I'm starting to tear up
