I'm sad I missed that era in flight sims to be honest! I got into flight sims at the end of the 90s, and the oldest titles I've really had substantial stick time with would be Total Air War, Red Baron 3D, and the NovaLogic F16/F22/Mig29 games. Those were very much at the tail end of the simulation "golden age" of the 90s, which was eventually capped off by Falcon 4.0 and Jane's F-18 before the genre basically collapsed.

Someday maybe I'll check out some of the older games, but not having been there at the time, it's kind of hard to be nostalgic for it. The good news is that despite the fact that flight sims have gone from the most popular gaming genre (which they were at one point) to a small hardcore niche, there's still great stuff to fly and hey, for all it's worth, the genre has advanced a lot technologically over time!
