An odd question - does anyone remember a flight sim from the early to mid 90s that had a dog-fight multiplayer mode over a null-modem serial cable? Back in DOS days. F16 or some such. I still have the cable, but for the life of me I can't remember what the game was.
- boudin 6y agoF22 Lightning II maybe
- huhtenberg 6y agoNo, that's not it. It was earlier than that...
- rzzzt 6y agoF29 Retaliator?

- huhtenberg 6y agoLooks familiar, but I think that's not the one either.
- dividuum 6y agoFalcon 3 probably? I remember playing 1vs1 back then. Not sure if it was null modem or Ethernet/IPX, but I would be very surprised if it didn't support null modem for two players.
- huhtenberg 6y agoThanks, but nope, not this one either.
- scandox 6y agoThought it might have been Jet but apparently not https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(video_game) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(video_game) Had forgotten how good 80s game box design was
- huhtenberg 6y agoNo, it was a bit after Jet's time.
- tomgp 6y agoLoads of games in the 90s used null modem cable for multiplayer I played I played a bunch of stuff that way on both PC and Amiga. Populous 2 was a big fave but definitely played more than one flight sim that way
- app4soft 6y agoYSFlight?
- huhtenberg 6y agoNope, not the one. YSFlight is from 1999 and forward.

- huhtenberg 6y agoThanks, but no, that's not the one.
- elvis70 6y agoMaybe Dogfight/Air Duel by Microprose in 1993? In multiplayer mode you could have a F-16 fight with a Fokker if you wanted.
- huhtenberg 6y agoNot this one either. I remember it had a square minimap at the bottom right corner that was about 1/3 of the screen height.
