Gunship 2000

I came across that video while looking for new flight sims

Gunship 2000 was the first PC game I ever played. I used to play that and Silent hunter all the time.

That game was fun... back in 1991

Re: Gunship 2000

Dang! With EGA graphics and Soundblaster! I remember that game. Gunship was pretty fun. Except I was subject to crappy CGA graphics and an onboard pc speaker. Man, I envied my friends with Amigas back then.

Re: Gunship 2000

I loved Gunship!!!! Are there any games like that out now? Hell, if they just updated to 2008 technology, I'd play that game again!

Re: Gunship 2000

I have all the old favorites like Tornado ODS, Falcon 4.0, GS2000, 1942 Pacific Air War Gold, Fleet Defender Gold, X-Wing & TIE Fighter (and all their addons), Mech Warrior II (and all its addons) and many others all loaded up on an OLD P200 with a CH Pro Throttle, Combat Stick and Pedals... Sitting right here ready to transport me back in time when ever I feel nostalgic.... They still are very fun games, simple but elegant given their vintage.

I also have a PIII-450 with Voodoo card for all the Late 90's greats.

I wish games were still as fun as they seemed back in those days.
