There was another awesome Flight Sim of the same era called “F-19 Stealth Fighter”… this was in colour too, and on the Amstrad I was running it on at least, ran far smoother than that MS FS!

Lol I would take landing a real 172 than trying to trying to land that sim any day of the week – It would be infinitely easier.

The big issue with this sim was it required so many keyboard inputs to keep flying, as soon as you pulled your eyes away the plane was going stupid, there was also a lag between inputs and actual changes on screen, there was never a time to rest.

I have a game from 1993 (If I remember correctly) – for Macintosh, called “Falcon MC” which was a F16 combat flight simulator. It was nothing like this one, amazing quality and graphics. Though not as bad, it still had the lag issue and the keyboard control issue, but it was much better. Even had dog fighting capabilities.

Retro gaming is fantastic…I wish I’d recorded some of my Sonic 2 sessions for posterity…

What is sicko about this video it was edited down from over 1 hour of footage, there was a time when I literally shot anything, this will very soon expose the McDonalds Big Mac to be what some call today the Tiny Mac.
This will be a killer tube video, I have to make sure all my facts are correct or I will end up in court.

Watch out, this video will reveal your age and nerd appeal.
I have a soft spot for gamers I have to admit, sure some say flight sim is not a game, in it’s primitive form it was extremely difficult to master, surely this is what gaming is all about.

i play fsx and this just classic. very fun game that is all a computer can produce back then. just hash lines fs1 did not have any color at all fs95 became a little more real looking compared to its predecessor.

I spent thousands of hours at the helm of this sim. Years later after getting a pilots license then letting it laps due to costs I am back in front of the sim again.

Flight Simulator ‘95 was the first flight simulator I used! And I imitated the 9/11 Attacks!
