Dambusters(I loved it), ACE, ACE2, SoloFlight,F-15 Strike Eagle, Acrojet, Spitfire40, Battle of britain, Ace of aces, Jet... and that was only on the C-64

Amiga brought two of my favourites F-16 Fighter Pilot and Kights of the Sky, but I cant not remember a good WWII sim for the Amiga.
He he played most of them too - and sat for days in Dambusters too And SoloFlight of all games we played for days too - the only mission to fly from field A to field B and deliver mail in a small prop plane...

Looking at this list of Jet sims:

I realize I have flown ALL of them accept number 8 and 28. Remember the wait for Falcon 3 and then tearing up the package and installing it and sitting there in awe of the graphics and the flight modeling... All those missions in F-19 Stealth fighter over Iran and Libya... Mmm.

And looking at the list of WWII combat sims from the good old days:

http://www.listal.com/list/wwii-air-...ght-simulators

I have flown all of them accept number 26 and 41. I loved the Dynamix games and remember when Aces over Europe came with it's semi SVGA graphics that looked SO good! The reviewers where in tears...

EDIT - this is so fun. Found this page http://www.sheeparcade.com/free-games/simulation-games/ where a lot of these old abandonware games are available for download. Download the DOSBox "dos emulator" and then run them from that... Playing SoloFlight right now. Amazing that I have put so many hours into it!
