Gunship 2000 here!
I loved that it had a dynamic campaign where the frontline moved according to how well you did.
Before that, I also enjoyed LHX.
> Best part was the instruction manual that came with it that was basically a guide of all the military equipment of the Soviet Union that you could target in the game.
Do you remember what the copy protection was for MicroProse's F-19 Stealth Fighter? It was the silhouettes of US and Soviet fighters and bombers from the Cold War era: "identify this aircraft". Somehow they thought my teenage self, obsessed as I was with Cold War military tech, wouldn't learn the shapes. It's how I learned the shapes of most fighter jets.
Yes, I had a pirated copy. We all did back then, legal games were unheard of.
- alisonatwork 2y agoIf you remember LHX fondly, there's a new game out with similar aesthetic: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1906230/Thunder_Helix/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1906230/Thunder_Helix/ Still EA for now, but it looks promising.
- debo_ 2y agoWow, it looks almost exactly like LHX. You weren't kidding. But can I watch from the viewpoint of my TOW missile camera, I wonder... Thanks for the link.
- keyle 2y agoThat guy has been very active on twitter since the start of the development of the game. I don't have his account anymore since I stopped caring about twitter but ... he's probably still there journaling! -- edit: I don't like half assed comments so I went and dig him up https://x.com/HiddenAsbestos https://x.com/HiddenAsbestos
- pferde 2y agoI only learned like 4-5 of those shapes, and kept restarting the game until I got one of those. :)
