Jane's 688i

Chief of the Boat · 12-05-06, 07:48 PM

If anybody here gets the urge to play Jane's 688i, I found a game CD in perfect conditon, and THE BOOK. I picked it up more to 'have', or 'pass along', than to play.

So if Classic Nuke Attack 'floats your boat'..

, gimme a post...

COB;
You may have trouble selling the CD, NCP made this sim compatible with XP, although I ran it with just the Sonalysts DLL fix and it worked fine, but the book, I have an original and my guess is it is almost a collectors item.

Well.... 'four bits' at a yard sale didn't quite Break My Bank, anyway !!! I wanted to see what it looked like, and it ran fine on this XP machine... straight... no fiddling. I guess I don't care if it lay around here or not.. but is somebody actually WANTS one of these, I did instantly recognize that to possess THE BOOK was not too common, for older games...

I still have my original copy of the game and manual, plus I also have a copy of the 688i strategy guide (which was pretty lousy).

Yup... I have a collection of Games/Manuals too. Likely they will lay there, awaiting The Estate Sale. What I found was that learning the Game... and seeing the 'marvel' that the creators made, was, super interesting. Jane's FA-18 with the Forward Looking Infra Red night viewing... the way it was modelled; fascinating. But to sit here and actually RUN any of the longer Missions/Patrols.... kinda wears on me. I will admit though, that I REALLY appreciated that 688i manual, after reading..trying to read... the DW manual. And I thought the Hornet Manual was difficult...

Anyway... all in great fun...

Merry Christmas
