Another game is Falcon BMS which was released in the late 90s and has a community that is constantly maintaining it and upgrading it, it looks fantastic. https

  Falcon BMS is great! Imo it's the best FS out there for a few reasons. I think what really sets it apart is it's dynamic campaign and large scale multiplayer wars that run over the course of weeks or even months. It's incredibly fun participating in an air battle with 60 other online pilots (with human AWACS) working together or scrambling defensive flights as an enemy strike package comes in. The high barrier of entry, both in terms of difficulty (you probably need at least 10h of tutored instruction to be remotely good at the game) and hardware investment (you need a joystick and trackir) is a feature not a bug. It keeps the toxic players out and indeed the community has barely any problems with toxic players. Here's my view of a mission from a large scale PvP campaign. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TXqYky97auQ&t=9m51s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TXqYky97auQ&t=9m51s

  That was a great video, and incredible that games still going. What other games have been going for that long? I know the community has kept Doom going to some extent, new maps and textures and stuff. Can’t thank of any more still being developed since the 90s.
