By far my favorite one was X-COM Interceptor. It's essentially Wing Commander with the management stuff from X-COM.Edmond Dantes wrote:Combat Flight Sims
Of course, if we're talking about TRUE simulations, then check out anything made by Novalogic.

I am a terrible artist. That's right...I have almost *zero* artistic ability within me, and I swear by all things green and good, I could have done a better job than was done in this ad. I'm thinking that the artist was smoking a doobie, and the person responsible for *buying* the ad was speedballing the hot stuff.Ed Oscuro wrote:

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that game. It was aces. Have to see if I can find my old copy.Mortificator wrote:A good space game for PS1 is Colony Wars. It also has a practical third-person view that might help you with 3D dodging.
Dynamite Cop (Deka) is cut from the very same cloth, and enjoys a better feel of zaniness, as well. I've always enjoyed that one.louisg wrote:Re: Scrolling fighters: I really liked Die Hard Arcade. I think that one has some very clear strategy, and many of the moves have a specific purpose. I'll have to try some of the other strategies mentioned for the 2d beat 'em ups though.
Cut back on the throttle. You'll turn tighter and have an easier time getting the bogie in your sights, at the cost of becoming easier to target yourself. Speed management is a major part of Flight Sims.Edmond Dantes wrote:Flight Sims (particularly combat ones, Wing Commander particularly)
I get the basic idea--"kill them before they kill you"--but it seems a lot goes into that which so far hasn't clicked. For example, I constantly struggle to even face towards my enemy to fire on them, and usually by the time I do they're passing in front of me or overhead and I have to turn yet again. It's worse when there's more than one enemy aircraft... I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to deal with both. I get the feeling there is some very basic concept that I simply have not figured out.
Any advice at all would be appreciated.

I'm horribly ashamed to admit that that harry potter game for the Playstation was the first console game I ever owned... Don't even think I'm about to praise it, because I'm not.

That's a pretty damn good game. Too bad most who try it are expecting Ace Combat. I am still disappointed that I couldn't fly an F-4, however.Pretas wrote:Fans of realistic flight combat sims owe it to themselves to give Taito's Over G (360) a serious look.

If this is indeed the case, then you must have a pitifully low experience of... pretty much everything. How in the hell did you get into shmups? They're kinda overwhelming, you know.1983parrothead wrote:Anything overwhelming.
Why do you become engrossed in movies and books for that very reason? Such circumstances are equally inconsequential, but I bet your opinion differs on those subjects.Doctor Butler wrote: What I don't understand is people who play these AAA narrative-driven single-player games, and become engrossed in the inconsequential circumstances of fake people that don't exist.

Over G has manual takeoffs, but gives you a hot start and lets you optionally skip the taxi on runways. You have to actually land the plane though. It's a pretty good compromise.Gespenst wrote:Even that I enjoy flight sims on regular basis, I never get why people are so obsessed with ridiculous DCS-level simulators that you even need 10 minutes or more for ramp/coldstarting your plane/helo.
