A-10 Tank Killer	Dynamix	1989	In A-10: TANK KILLER, you take command of the ugliest, most indestructible and devastating plane ever built, the A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as "The Warthog." Fly low and dirty through smoke-filled battlefields, ripping apart enemy tanks with your 30mm "tank killing" cannon. The battle comes up fast and furious as you skim the ground to support allied troops. Take hits that would cripple any other aircraft and laugh when a wing or engine gets blown off during battle. Intercept radio messages, get strategy tips from Jake, your co-pilot, and take your stomach on a 3 Dimensional roller-coaster ride it'll never forget. All of this in unbelievably brilliant 256 color VGA, of course.*[media=youtube]0i2_bBxQwzw[/media]* [87]* [103]* [33]* [83]* [49]* [22]* [1]*Review for add-on "A-10 Tank Killer: Thunderbolt 1.5" [52]* [52]* [37]* [37]

When you are promoted to a sufficient rank you can take along multiple helicopters to accomplish your objectives. The dynamic campaign generates new missions based on multiple maps. Attack, defend, sweep, scout, rescue, drop... Lots of missions to keep you busy. Crew learn and grow in experience as they survive and succeed. A full mission recorder allows you to view EVERY member of your team as they fight or die. Plenty of weapons are available for your side from the latest Hellfire missiles and Sidearm anti-radar missiles to the old fashioned chain gun and gun pods are available for your use. The enemy can be well armed as well, from deadly 2S6 gun/missile combo to old-fashion ZSU-23, even the occasional MiGs.* [22]* [52]*Review for the scenery disk "Philippine Island & Antarctica Scenario".

Birds of Prey	Electronic Arts (Argonaut)	1992	Birds of Prey is a flight simulation set in a fictional battle between the Soviet Union (B-side) and the Nato + allied (A-side). The player can fly up to 40 different planes and also control the whole battle campaign.Aircraft available for A-side: BAe Hawk Mk.66 BAe Hawker Siddley Harrier GR. Mk 3 Boeing B-52H Stratofortress Boeing 747-400 Jumbo Jet Dassault-Breguet Mirage F.1E Dassault-Breguet Rafale A Fairchild A-10A General Dynamics F-111 General Dynamics F-16 Grumman F-14A+ Tomcat Grumman X-29 Lockheed C-130H-30 Hercules Lockheed F-104S Starfighter Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird Lockheed TR-1A Lockheed F-117A McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II McDonnell Douglas F-15E Eagle McDonnell Douglas KC-10A McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet North American X-15A Northrop F-5E Tiger II Northrop F-20A Tiger Shark Northrop B-2 Stealth Bomber Panavia Tornado F Mk.3 (ADV) Rockwell B-1B SAAB JAS-39 Gripen (Gryphon) Aircraft available for B-side: Antonov AN-124 Condor Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Fishbed N Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 Flogger G Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat E Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-27 Flogger J Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum A Sukhoi Su-21 Flagon F Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer D Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker B Tupolev Tu-95 Bear G Tupolev Tu-26 Backfire B Yakovlev Yak-38 MP Forger A The player is required to select one side 'A' or 'B' in the conflict, and keep the save game for each pilot on a separate floppy. Each pilot you can fly different missions and aircraft, but only those from your own side. The player character flies from three land bases and two aircraft carriers on each side, and these bases can be damaged in several ways by enemy action, making them unavailable until repaired and reducing the available aircraft in the campaign.Mission types are: air intercept air superiority long range bombing bomber escort close support and ground attack border or sea patrol reconnaissance troop drop supply drop stealth bombing stealth reconnaissance test pilot An autopilot mode is available for longer cruises, if the enemies are far off. The 'test pilot' mission involves flying the X-15/X-29 and is not a part of the campaign.* [22]* [52]* [37]*Directly from the game box: NATO and Soviet forces have engaged in an all-out war campaign. Armed with 40 front line aircraft, your mission is to devastate the enemy's land, sea and air forces while protecting your own. But your enemy is unpredictable and constantly on the move, repairing and replenishing his forces and carefully planning his next attack. Birds of Prey is a unique simulation of modern warfare. You'll not only experience every aspect of modern air combat but you'll also discover the pure power of 40 fighting aircraft.
Stunt Island	Disney (The Assembly Line)	1992	[media=youtube]89jrh5sA0Yo[/media]***Often referred to as "Disney's Stunt Island." While this is a flight sim, the focus is on preforming and filming stunts rather than flying skill, scenery or combat. So its less sim, more game. Players can edit the stunts into videos and design their own stunts, videos and designes can be shared with other users.The action can be seen, from literally any perspective, since their are cameras set up to film each stunt and the player can switch between them durring their performance. 1st and 3rd person views are the most common, but some stunts will require more unique perspectives to see how to hit your marks. The conflict is primarily an 'entity v physics' and secondarily 'entity v machine'. The player's character preform stunts one at a time and is rated on how well they hit their marks (hitting marks makes for better scenes). In this 'career mode' there are 40 stunts to master. Beginning with simple ones like, fly through the canyon. But later ones are insane sounding, like land on the zeppelin, land on the moving train, or land on the skyscraper. You may recognize some of them from your favorite movies. The [gametag=langcomputer langcomputer]langcomputer[/gametag] tag applies because the stunt design is done in a custom, visual, even-driven language that's surprisingly easy to learn. You'll need to answer questions about the performance of aircraft (wingspan, stall speed, maximum altitude, etc..) after each install. These answers can be found in the manual but are mostly public knowledge since most of the planes in the game are real ones. It comes in a stiff carboard box (doesn't fold) with a manual and a map of the one island in the game (the set) where all the stunts are performed. Keyboard controls are available at all times. Mouse, 2-axis 2-button joystick, or 4-axis 4-button joystick (stick & throttle), are optional. This game runs under Windows 3.x & Windows 95. The display seems to be 3D polygons, but its very primitive and does not use 3D acceleration. But it has the advantage of being playable on a 33MHz system. [Zerothis]

Trump Castle 3	Capstone Software	1993
Lost Eden	Virgin (Cryo Interactive)	1995	Lost Eden is an adventure game set on an eerie planet populated with dinosaurs. Your civilisation is menaced. Armies of Tyranns, led by Moorkus Rex, are gathering around your kingdom. Soon they will swarm in, destroy everything and kill your people. However, there is a single hope. There are legends telling that several hundreds of years ago, men and dinosaurs cooperated to build 5 mighty Citadels that were almost invulnerable to the Tyranns. Today, all the Citadels but one have been destroyed. You play as Adam of Mo, you must rediscover the secret of uniting men and dinosaurs, rebuild the Citadels, and finally defeat Morkus Rex and his armies. Lost Eden is a first-person adventure that utilizes Myst-style navigation through pre-rendered backgrounds that represent locations. However, the gameplay is less heavy on environment-manipulating puzzle-solving than Myst, having more in common with traditional adventure games with their inventory-based puzzles.*** [22]
Micro! Deluxe	Acumen Software	1995
The Bard's Lore: The Warrior & The Dragon	?	1998	The free full game can be downloaded, played and shared. The author sold real manuals, cluebooks, spellbook, and maps. Eventually the extra materials became free in digital downloads. The author declared "THE BARD'S LORE is now completely freeware, as of this date (Mars 2002)". However, he means pay-what-you-want a with $0 minimum and a $1 minimum if you choose to pay. "If you really like the game, you can of course deposit the former amount at $10 to my bank account. 1 dollar would be great but thanks to banking fees I cant go any lower.. =/ So if you feel up to it (i.e you liked the game enough to contribute to the maker)" And his Swiss bank account information is in the documentation. This used a patched version of The Bard's Tale Construction Set to provide variations and improvements on the original and allowed the author to create a unique adventure.
