Elite Plus was upgraded to take advantage of EGA, VGA and MCGA. It was coded entirely in assembly language by Chris Sawyer, who later wrote RollerCoaster Tycoon. Elite Plus had a ninth galaxy that can only be reached by hyperspacing into Witch Space.
50 accurate historic missions. Become an ace in one day like Yeager in World War II, fight Sabres high over the Yalu River in Korea, fly in the biggest air battle of Vietnam.
Korean War.
Jet aircraft dominate the skies. Tactical updates on call. You have a Sabre in your sights, but is he alone? Info windows give you critical data on enemy locations, plane performance, even your opponent's next move.
Missiles make their first deadly mark. Accurate flight dynamics. Faster speeds and greater Gs put your pilot skills to the test. Gunning fighters over Germany was hard, but a missile lock at Mach 1 is a whole different ballgame.
The MiG-29 plane, nicknamed Fulcrum by the West, features in this flight simulation, professionally modeled by former British Aerospace flight simulator designers. You are armed with cannons, rockets, and Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground missiles. Aerodynamics, blackouts, and physics are all recreated. There are six missions to take on, starting with your basic training.
You may be the hottest pilot in the fleet, but this will cool your jets! In Wing Commander you blast your way through the Vega Campaign. You'd better be as good as your reputation because the stakes are too high to play it safe. Just when you think that the action can't get any more intense, or the opposition any stiffer, you'll plunge into Wing Commander II. Disgraced and unjustly court-martialed, you have to prove yourself once again and earn the respect of the Confederation High Command. Of course, there is also the little matter of preventing the destruction of the Terran home-worlds.
This expansion to Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe allowed players to fly in, and against, the jet-powered P-8P-80 Shooting Star Tour of Duty is a flight simulation game that immerses players in the pioneering era of jet aviation, focusing on the United States Air Force's first operational jet fighter. Set in the late 1940s, the game puts players in the cockpit of the P-80 Shooting Star, allowing them to experience the transition from propeller-driven aircraft to the jet age. Players take on various missions, likely including training flights, patrols, and air-to-air combat scenarios, all set against the backdrop of the early Cold War period.
The game aims to provide a realistic simulation of the P-80's unique handling characteristics and performance, challenging players to master the intricacies of jet propulsion, take-offs, landings, and combat maneuvers. With detailed cockpit instrumentation and authentic flight controls, P-80 Shooting Star Tour of Duty offers aviation enthusiasts and history buffs a chance to e
An expansion to Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe that allows players to fly in, and against, the unique P-38 Lightning. Players assume the role of a P-38 pilot, engaging in a series of historically-inspired missions that showcase the aircraft's diverse capabilities. These likely range from high-altitude interceptions and long-range escort missions to ground attack sorties, reflecting the P-38's real-world adaptability. The game probably features multiple campaign settings, potentially including the Mediterranean, Pacific, and European theaters, where the P-38 saw extensive action. With its emphasis on historical accuracy, P-38 Lightning Tour of Duty offers aviation enthusiasts and World War II buffs an immersive experience that combines realistic flight simulation with the strategic and tactical challenges faced by Allied pilots during the war.
After the quite successful "Wall Street Wizard", the young German software house Lifetimes has now tried its hand again at a business simulation. As with Starbyte's "Transworld", it's all about the mysterious world of the freight forwarding business.
Instead of finding one's way in the hectic hustle and bustle of the stock exchange, this time one is supposed to direct the captains of the road. Up to six players (the Amiga replaces the missing one) can take part in the attempt to dominate the transport market in Europe.
MECC released a DOS version of The Oregon Trail that was essentially identical to the Apple II version. However, the graphics had to be redrawn for the DOS version, using a different color palette and a slightly different resolution – and therefore screen shots of the DOS version are slightly different than the corresponding Apple II screen shots.
The Brain follows the same premise as its predecessor Life & Death, wherein the player controls an up-and-coming surgeon who must perform simulated surgery on patients with varying problems. The sequel focuses on the brain, whereas the first game focused on the abdomen.
Wolfpack is a World War II submarine simulator published by Brøderbund in the 1990s, for Amiga, Atari ST, MS-DOS, and Macintosh. It simulates combat actions between wolf packs of German U-boats and convoys of Allied destroyers and merchant vessels in the Battle of the Atlantic.
This addon allows to personalise your flying experience with scenery you create. Also includes four new planes - a Boeing 747-400, Piper Archer, Beechcraft Starship, and seaplane.
Flight simulator for the Soviet SU-25 attack jet. A wide range of bombs and munitions are included (from cluster bombs to rockets to guns).
Includes three sets of missions (each set takes place in a year, from 1991 to 1993). Missions range from attacking tanks and troops to attacking bridges and other buildings. Although the missions can be played separately, played in order they form a storyline about the crumbling Soviet regime.
Advanced Destroyer Simulator (ADS) is a World War 2 naval combat simulation featuring the H.M.S. Onslaught, a British O-class destroyer. Players command the vessel in real-time from a first-person perspective, navigating three scenarios across the Mediterranean, English Channel, and North Sea.
The game offers mission-based gameplay including convoy escorts, submarine hunts, patrol assignments, and blockade runs, with each scenario containing five missions plus an open-ended Delta mode. Combat involves close-quarter exchanges using cannons and torpedoes against various enemy vessels including destroyers, cruisers, and torpedo boats, while defending against Stuka dive bombers and tracking submarines via sonar. Players must manage fuel, ammunition, and repairs by docking at allied ports to complete time-critical objectives. Notable as the first naval simulation to utilize real-time filled 3D graphics, ADS draws mechanical inspiration from Epyx's Destroyer (1986).
Gunboat is a 3D action simulation of River patrol U.S. Gunboat. Your Gunboat carries a crew of four men. A first-class petty officer who serves as boat captain and pilot. A gunner’s mate, who controls the forward guns. An engine man, who takes care of the engines and serves as midship gunner and a seaman who controls the guns.
