    A true classic from an era when computer gaming was still a very niche nerdy thing.

    I wanted to play this game so badly back then. But at the time my command of English just wasn't enough. Thank you so much for the remaster. Look forward to it.

    Glad you like the trailer! I'll have the mod up as soon as I can make the web page for the game. ;)

    That's awesome. I never had F-19, but I remember seeing it on the shelf. Everything from Microprose was basically gold back then. I need to see if it's on GoG. I don't remember what the displays looked like (I would have only seen them on the back of the box) so I'll have to find a copy to see what you changed. That's awesome that people have figured out how to mod these pre-modularity games. Dumb question: is that running in EGA or VGA? Apparently I can't tell 320x2x0x16 from 640x4x0x16 anymore.

    Thanks! MicroProse holds so many memories for me too. Indeed, the game is on GoG nowadays. This is EGA mode, the game has VGA mode but that is basically the same except for some gradient corners in the panel art. This new panel will work in VGA mode as well, added the proper file to the mod archive now. Though in F-19 VGA mode is still 320x200 too, so it does not matter really :)

    I used to LOVE this game. Played it on government computers when I was on night watch in the HQ building when I was in the Marines back in the late 80s.

    I first played this as a kid in 1995, but only last week did i finally beat my first proper mission in the game. I'm on the third campaign now, and I've grown to love this challenging and detailed game. I especially love the AIM-54 Phoenix missile. :P

    Where'd you get your copy? I've been curious about this for the novelty factor even though it's more painful on the eyes than F-19.

    Hi Baron, I got it from the original 5.25" floppy disks. Personally I consider it the best version of F-117A, hugely recommended.
