I liked Mechwarrior 3. Granted, I can remember playing Pirates! and RSR back in the late 80's/early 90's on the Commodore 64. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the original Falcon 4.0.

Cool! This submarine game actually has a lot of details, even if the graphics are soooo 80's

INTRO(BTW, that's the last type II in the world behind him, the Vesikko) -In the 80s the more mature players started to want a more realistic war simulations. -Their Knight on a white horse was the legendary game developer, Microprose, that was founded by Sid Meier and Bill Stealey in 1982. -Microprose became known from it's realistic simulations like the Submarine simulator Silent Service. Silent Service -The most famous wargame from Microprose is definetly Silent Service. -Silent Service wasnt that stunning graphic-wise, but it got the player hooked for it's tactical gameplay. -In Silent Service, the player was in control of an US submarine in the Pacific during the WWII and was tasked to sink Japanese ships. -The player could plan his attacks from the beginning to the end. -Especially, the sounds dragged the player to the world of underwater warfare. F-19 Stealth Fighter -In 1987, Microprose released one of the best combat flight simulators of the 80s. -In Stealth Fighter, the player flew a fictive US stealth plane completing various missions during cold war in Europe and in the Middle east. -F-19 became the new standard for it's realism and it's advanced AI. Cant be arsed to translate the AR part. |

Yeah, Microprose sims were simply the best, big atmosphere, big innovations.
Almost all sims had a good random mission generator!!! As a teenager I've bought nearly all sims from that company. Sometimes I spend my whole pocket-money for these games but they were worth it |
