Listen "04 – Early MicroProse Sims – The Ace Series"
Episode Synopsis
Hello my friends, and welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight! In this episode, Denny, Chase and I look at some of the earliest MicroProse sims, namely:Hellcat AceSpitfire AceMiG Alley AceThese games are some of the earliest, if not the earliest, in-cockpit, “3D” and they’re an amazing time capsule of what these early computers can do, with all the issues that come with them. You’ll find that we were impressed with what these games were able to achieve with such limited hardware back in the day, but they were still kind of rough to play.Next month, we’re continuing the MicroProse love with F-15 Strike Eagle, Gunship, and Project Stealth Fighter (the prequel to F-19 Stealth Fighter)! Things are getting serious, folks! Can’t wait to see you for that one.Thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show!*Cover provided by MobyGames
