This topic sure takes me back!Although I am not sure, I think my first taste of the MS flight sim was for the Atari ST and version MS FSII. However I recently found my old Acorn Atom in a cupboard it was bought in 1980 and hand built! My very first game was a 747 emulator, it looks nothing like even the early FS games but sure was fun at the time.I've posted a screen print of 747 running in an Atom emulator. If anyone is interested I can scan the instruction manual to give you a taste of what the game was really like!Ralph

Great topic.Commodore 64 here, Dambusters yes. Flight Simulator II - the one with the dogfight mission where you had to shoot a load of full stops at the other guy. Always crashed."Impossible Mission" - with the half hour tape load that always screwed up at 29 minutes.When I got my Amiga 500 it was a whole new world of joy!

Not I my ex-wife tossed all my good stuff out in the trash one day. My old C-128 and A-ST that even had the 9 inch monitor with it.:) I think it may have been one of the first to come with 3 and 1/2 inch disc.After seeing some of the post about older software we have come a long ways. LOL somebody was saying 4 fps and still having fun.:) Why not.

Geez i remember playing that during the last 15 minutes of lunch hour at school, and for 30 minutes after school when I was a kid.I remember one of our BBC's had a double disk drive - and we could copy that, and Elite!I miss Elite :(

>Tandy RL 1000. & LHX Attack Chopper. THAT was THE sim to>have.LHX rules! You won't believe it but I still occasionally take it for a spin! :) That was my first flight sim, and 20 years ago that felt quite immersive... Then - F-117, Su-25, ... but that's another story.Cheers,=S.V.=

Hi,If you download a beeb emulator you can also download most of the old beeb games too - I used to love Elite but had to refrain from downloading it as I already lose too much time to FS and Avsim :DDid succumb to an old favourite tho - Chuckie Egg - rubbish level game but strangely addictive..That was the difference between schools and home users, they had the disk drives while home users had to make do with cassette players - 30 minutes just to load the games!M

DUDE! hehe F117 was the next big step from LHX. I remember that I bought F117 by Microprose, then got it all the way home... only to find out that I had accidentally bought the 5 1/4 inch disk instead of 3.5. ARGH! Was I mad. SU25 was a rocker then too. I remember getting a bad case of the "Jaggies" and thought that a faster computer would fix it. Remember 400X600 ( I think that is what it was. )TurnipSystem Specs:Motherboard = P5-GL-MXP4 3.0SB LiveATI Radeon X800 GTO (256) Overclocked to 550 Core / 525 Mem2 Gb Geil PC3200 Dual Channel RAM

yeah... well, LHX with its triangular mountains ... then Apache came out, and then - Comanche, but it's amazing how my first ever flightsim felt so immersive! The next titles I guess had more of eye candy but less of that immpersive simplicity.Cheers,
