years ago I played some good flight-combat game
on my PC,it was very fun game,
but I can't remember what game it was...
can someone post list of the best flight-combat games
that you know about it?
I'm quite sure it will appear on that list....


EDIT:

If I remember right,the game is not support windows XP or Higher...
but the graphics was quite good compare to this days...{it was in 3D graphics}
sure there is a way to run it,with emulator or something?

HAWX!

Fuck what the naysayers claim. HAWX is to the PC, what Ace Combat is to consoles. It's awesome fun and won't disappoint.

There's also older, yet still godlike, games such as; Secret Weapons over Normandy (LucasArts combat flight-sim, awesome game) and more sim-like titles such as IL2 Sturmovich.

and you shot with "laser" a lot.

Crimson Skies. The best, and original, version WAS on the PC Smile


=Edit=

Ok, so it's not that.. lol. I'll have a think, see what I can come up with. Out of curiosity, it wasn't a Star Wars game, was it? Rogue Squadron? Shadows of the Empire?

It would help if we knew just how long ago you played it. Give us some kind of timeframe.

Maybe it's Echelon you're looking for? I remember being very impressed with the graphics at the time, and having quite some fun with it as well.

Probably that abortion known as star wars star fighter or rogue squadron. TFX was one of the best sims I have played although Tornado on the amiga was ok too.

I was hooked on Fury3 a long time, a similar type of game published at the same time.



God I remember I was hooked on that, especially the music was cool, now it looks quite unbearable Very Happy

If I remember correctly FURY³ is essentially some sort of 'sequel' to Terminal Velocity.

Terminal Reality developed it for the launch of Windows95.

Tie Fighter (the CD-ROM version) is still one of my all time favorites in the genre. Remember it playing on my M-PC (a 486DX2 66Mhz with 8Mb RAM and a 2x CD-ROM).

Those were the days indeed Very Happy

Although it was published later the same year and share the same engine, it's not a sequel.
