Wow. Seeing such clear video of the original game really reminds us just how far the talent devs have brought it along. There are very few other things that have been in my life as long as F4 has.

Can’t believe we flied with this :rofl:

At that time even the 2D pit looked awesome, unmatched by any other sim… And there was a certain atmosphere in those missions, an important playability factor not easy to beat by modern eyecandy stuff

But then again, we still have sams sometimes bleeping endlessly and you have to press test to silence it;-)Just mean it is easy to pick on something that is perhaps not so good, but we loved it anyway!The suspence and scope where immense and unique.Cheers Obi1

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

EDIT:

And it is still impressive as f…k! Those battles on the ground!

Orginal still has more korea or moist wheater ”feel” in , maybe because that fog. Looks awesome in walleys etc…

And ground war effects , yes maybe Hollywood but still immersive.

BMS is awesome , dont get me wrong but some of that ”immersion” and nice artistic graphics is lost.

Can have all, realistic or max immersion.

In my opinion, it’s still there and still unmatched.

Yup Yup!…. I still have my original 3 ring binder and old Key card, original CD! I bought back in around 1989! The lady at the store even gave me a Falcon 4.0 T-shirt to have! I wore that shirt out! Now days in the year 2019 with 4.34 life is very good! This was and still is probably the best flight sim available, and it’s basically free, go figure eh?! It’s amazing how the documentation and evolution of graphics yet still has the classic older style to it in a sense has come to become!
Man-Pre TrackIR5 as we can see the Hat switch as it brings back memories.
My very first real flight sim experience was Microprose F15 Strike Eagle with Atari 800XL!
