Microsoft Combat Flight Sims I II III
#1
Back in the late 90's and early 2000's I used to play CFS I II and III on MS Zone till they took it down, That was one game I bought every cd that was made for those games and played for hours, anyone on here play or belonged to a squadron on there when it was active? I wish they were still going today cause those games were just fun when you had nothing planned for a day...lol

Curiously I don't remember ever playing a MS Game but Dungeon Something.

Maybe this can help?

Yes, I am familiar with that site and I've done the p-2-p gaming scene, it really isn't that fun for a flight sim game, lag is a big factor or the game freezes up for a long period of time, the ZONE was way more fun.

There were some game server/virtualization services, like old PlayOn! but lag is still there, and in a flight combat it's an issue.
Ping and FPS become a social factor. I had lotta fun with Falcon, but it was only thru local network, decades ago.

Oh totally, on the SuperPower and Religion concepts, You played Falcon huh? I still have that on cdrom too lol, I played that one too, If it was any kind of a flight sim, I more than likely have ( had ) it at one point or another, The only flight game I totally sucked at is the one a lot of people still like X-Plane That game is my nightmare in flight sims.

I played EA's F15, a fun action game. F22 was weird, felt like slow and I never learned how to fly. That was in the 486/DOS era. But Falcon was crazy, the user manual included flight techniques, like the Himmelman, and nothing like fragging your adversary's tail when they think will manage to evade.

X-Plane is very popular nowadays, a huge simulator; even the space shuttle is there. Too much for me, I'm more for Wing Commander than Trainz...

Good old times when games were for gaming. They made or published a big part of the game history. I miss it.
Sure playing on an Apple II or IBM PC was crap, but back then it was like having your own time warp machine.

I guess the entire Origin, Interplay, Epic, and a few others' catalogue is around on torrents.
Heard there's a new "shroud of the avatar" game now. Eager to see.
Bugs or not, I played Ultima IX like acid without the reactions.
