I played all of these!
Here's some money for Dowly's bail, now get him to translate:know: :hmm: .

Did anybody play Airborne Ranger? That was a fun game.

My Microprose fleet includes Gunship, Silent Service 1 and 2, M1 Tank Platoon, F14 Fleet Defender, Dogfight, F-19 Stealth Fighter, and Gunship 2000 for the PC. For the C= 64 I've got all those and some others (Gunship 2000 was never released for the C= 64, neither was F-14 Fleet Defender).

1942 The Pacific Air War :D

BUMP!


I'd like to keep this thread going.

I hate it when a thread gets buryed
that I'm interested in.

Microprose did they make the Rollercoaster Tycoon series in the beging if do i was in to that. a few years back.

P.S Dowly in the brig that sucks:roll:

Hi Mr Chris :D

Don't know about theroller coaster game.
I got the game I posted for a total of $5.00 includeing shipping on ebay.

It's never been played and I don't want to open the original packageing
the 6 floppies came in.

It came with 3 manuels too. Don't see that anymore.

Lessee...

I had F-19, Silent Service II, M1 Tank Platoon (and haven't found another tank sim I liked since), Civilization, Covert Action (not a big hit, but I had a blast with it), Masters of Orion, Masters of Magic, etc.

Owned Fleet Defender and to this day I haven't found a flight sim I liked as much. MPS games had the best 'immersion', the best 'fantasy life' quality I've experienced short of the Sims, right down to naming all your pilot buddies after your friends.:D

Microprose's Task Force 1942 wasn't a bad naval game for it's time. You got to command Japanese or US surface ship forces in the Solomons. The night battles were real fun....

Now, Civilization 2 was like crack for me when it came out. Was up all night adding to my empire. However, the follow-up versions were never as addicting.

I don't think I played that one.:oops:

Never got to play TF: 1942 either. Did play SSI's 'Great Naval Battles' series some, though. Those had lots of detail, but serious interface problems. MPS was always good about making an 'open' game, and wish I'd got to try their surface warfare on for size.

F-19 and Airborne were my FAVORITES!!! On the "Ole" Commadore 64. Also Red Storm Rising.....
GREAT Thread....Thanks for bring back good memories....:yep:

I played Silent Service 1 on a C64 then Silent Service 2, F19, Gunship 2000, Task Force 1942, M1 Tank Platoon I think I played Pacific Air War I had a couple of Air Combat games ones back then. They were all classics and used to play them for hours.

I always knew if I bought a MicroProse game I would get good value for my money. I liked them a lot.:up:

They also did Grand Prix, Grand Prix 2 and Grand Prix 3 which were fantastic (I Know they weren't subsims but still a great show of what Microprose were brilliant at. Simulation)

And also GP500, still the king of motorbike racing simulations :up: .

I love this series. I only played GNB 2, Solomons campaign:up: . I could never win as the Japanese, but I had some great wins as the US.:|\\

one of the very first race sims I played in those good old days:

Formula 1 Grand Prix

I loved the old Microprose games. I managed to save them almost all the ones I purchased and I still play them from time to time on my Amiga emulator.

There is something to be said for great gameplay. They graphics are rather basic by todays standards, but you really got hooked on the playability.

I with they made game like that still. It is all eye candy now

I definately had that game, I used to love racing games but haven't really found anything that excites me recently.

I'll always remember Microprose for bringing out so many good games. Especially with sims, great brand. I can remember how the Microprose was written when the games started up, good times.
