OMG! This game was the stuff of dreams back in the day! A true awesome classic flight sim that gave you control of the Tomcat in all its glory! I might have to get this regardless of whether I play it again.

For 20 years old, it still looks pretty damned good.
Does it allow you to take a ride into the danger zone? :2funny:

Most definitely, especially if you feel the need...the need for speed.
I was hoping for a GOG release...
I still have my original copy up on my shelf of awesome pc games. That said, I smell a download happening tonight. O0
thats painful to look at.
Also a sale on F-117A and B-17: Mighty 8th. O0
Yeah, Valve definitely has its sights set on GOG's lunch money.
why would anyone actually buy this? its old and looks horrid.
Don't forget to look for the dragon easter egg.

Agreed. Even though it may have been awesome for it's time, she's showing her age. I don't think flight sims that old age very well.
Although the campaign is probably still more interesting than 75% of the flight sims released in the past few years. ;D

Or the UFO intercept mission.

I saw this, and went IMMEDIATELY to steam to purchase F-117A. I have it already from GoG, but it takes the damn copy protection. Pain in the ass.
I believe that the Steam version bypasses this requirement. Could be wrong, just went through the preliminary stages of the mission. Gotta dig up a joystick.
It hasn't aged well.
Conversely if they offered Secret weapons of the Luftwaffe, I would be all over it.

GOG just started releasing Lucasarts games a few at a time so SWOTL may be in the horizon.

SWOTL. Drool! Spent a lot of time on the B-17 there.
It is hard to believe the immersion we felt with the old flight sims.
I have almost all of the new flight sims and to me all of them pale in comparison to things like SWOTL and Red Baron.

I had so many great games with this one. And +1 on the enjoyment and immersion. My main beef with new sins is thelack of immersion
