The coolest(arcade) Sim of the 90's was Strike Commander.

I last played in '95 on friend's computer.
Never finished the campaign.
Last year I remembered and had this strange urge to finish it.
Bought a copy of SC on ebay for £1, installed dosbox and did it. lol

or just stop it.


On the other hand: This thread is already dead. the important posts are on page one.

At least it's civil, for the moment.

That engine sound will induce seizures.

Just a quick comment re: additional data being provided about damage to different systems as a learning tool for new pilots.

Perhaps the original poster isn't aware about the "arcade=1" feature in the conf.ini?
It's a great tool (one I hadn't seen in any other sim) showing where hits were made by one guns. Combined with the track recorder, arcade=1 really helped me improve my gunnery especially deflection shooting.

I remember playing Lucasfilms BoB waaaaaay back.... 'twas great fun! It's amazing how far the tech has come (of course, it has been 20+ years now!!)... loved the box-art of that game. I also wish I'd never thrown out the manual for Dynamix Red Baron 2; that was a beautiful manual with glossy colour profiles for each aircraft etc... etc... (C_G takes a trip down memory lane to a miss-spent adolescence in front of the computer on beautiful summer days).
