Falcon 3.0
DOS version
Incredible flight simulator game for its time!
The Good
Really fantastic movies and menus screens leading to a great variety of missions and campaigns, get to manage your squadron logisitics and missions.
This game goes beyond a simple flight sim to add a real war mentality to make your missions more believable and important. Most of the major and complex electronic systems of the F-16 are modelled...the manual is 300 pages long!
The Bad
This is a 1st generation 3D object game (NOT 3D texturing/acceleration), flat shading colours and simple polygonal models.
Some of the weapon and radar modelling seems very simplified, but hey it runs on a 12MHZ PC!
The Bottom Line
This is a 386 game but if you can get past its dated appearance (and get it to run on your modern PC) it has great depth and realism for those wanting a whole flight sim experience.
