RIP Chuck Yeager. This game kept me occupied for hours as a kid. I even got to meet him in the 90s at an air show

I used to play this on my Performa 630, for hours and hours. Loved it. RIP Chuck.

Same here...except I had the Performa "630CD" with awesome 2X cd rom technology...lol

game play and physics is perfect, if only we can bring the graphic up to today's standard .... it will be a great seller.

It’s called DCS

Oh wow. I played so much of this as a kid. haha

Learned the basics of my craft from playing the Abbeville Boys mission on Expert setting many, many times until I could pretty much knock them all down on the first pass. The game came on one 1.4 Mb floppy disk, unbelievably. I disabled the pop up window feature where Chuck would appear at certain moments dispensing his wisdom because I found it kind of irritating. This was ground breaking stuff in its time and I loved it very much. This was on a 486 IBM compatible PC, BTW. Happy days!

That's actually exactly how it sounded. I have to Mac version and played it religiously back in the day.

Really? It sounds totally wrong for me that played the pc version aha(many bad notes here)

Fond memories

best landing gear noise ever

MY GOD! Takes me way back to my fathers "office-room" where i spent hours up on hours playing this game at winter. Best thing was, i was so young i didnt understand anything of what was said or written 😆 Its the same thing with Disneys Zorro... And now... When i can understand English... It takes a lot of the magic away... 😥

Chuck's still got it.

Amazing 90s Mac game

Haha that old classic. Yea, killed som hours in there. ;) Maybe you have broken font files? Try to replace them if you find fresh ones somewhere?

and they praised starfox for having 3D graphics :/

so many memories...

That's exactly what it sounded like.

I too can assure you- that was the music that played when you launched the game. I quite enjoyed it.

Wish there was a demo of the multiplayer function but great video anyway!

I used to play the shit out of this game as a kid.

I'm guessing that AdLib music is fake? It sounds like a pre recorded sample.

miss playing it

So much nicer than the PC version.

I bet, they used some of the system built-in routins for polygon displaying in the window enviroment on Mac. SVGA on PC probably was a hard coded solution.

More Fantastick Graphic than IBM PC

Yes its remarkable how in over 20 years modern game studios have been incapable of improving the gameplay of air combat games. Or did you actually think that better graphics makes a better game?

RatioHatesTheGame I wouldn't make any claims about your own capacity for nostalgia, your inability to tell the difference between good game design and pretty pictures on the other hand...

Gakoranus You do know this design is static as shit due to it's age right? Everything is just a complete abstract representation of what it should be. Good design back then but now days all the little tricks they did show right through. Not exactly a timeless classic.
