ABOUT FALCON 4.0

YOUTUBE COMMENTS

Falcon 4.0 is a combat flight simulator video game released on December 12, 1998 by MicroProse. The game is based around a realistic simulation of the Block 50/52 F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighter in a full-scale modern war set in the Korean Peninsula. Among many notable features, Falcon 4.0’s dynamic campaign engine runs autonomously.

The game is the ultimate development in the Falcon series from Spectrum HoloByte that started in 1984. HoloByte had acquired MicroProse in 1993, and started using that name for all their titles in 1996. After MicroProse was purchased by Hasbro, official development ended. In April 2000 a source code leak allowed continued development of the game, including bug fixes and new campaigns, through the game community itself. Many of these additions were collected by Lead Pursuit, who arranged an official license of the original code base from the owner Atari, and published as Falcon 4.0: Allied Force on June 28, 2005.

Me too, but it was 21, and the OP pointed out just above that this was a Falcon 4.0 thread, excluding 4.32 and above.
But if you’re into provocation, good job .

@LorikEolmin …old memories, …old.

@Radium The textures are very intriguing - especially the level of detail changes at distance. Not many yellow wheat fields in the final version of Falcon.

@Snake122 it’s from a Strategy Plus pc gaming mag from 1997. The scans are on archive.org in very very high res.
