Hello my friends, and welcome this episode of Retro Dogfight! First off, I have to apologize for my audio. Just before recording, I discovered that Windows had, for some reason I still don’t understand, lowered my gain in the Windows audio settings. I only figured it out about a week or so AFTER recording this, but for this particular episode, my audio is a bit soft, and for that, I apologize.

Now, for the episode itself, we tackle the remaining two MicroProse F-15 Strike Eagle games, namely:

• F-15 Strike Eagle II
• F-15 Strike Eagle III

It’s fascinating how different these two games are, and as such, how different our reactions to them are. Overall, they’re delightful games that deserve your time, and I hope you enjoy our discussion about them.

For our next episode, we’ll be doing something a little different. The folks at the Air Dominance Project have spent the last several years getting several old DID games working under modern Windows, and this has led to the Steam release of:

• F-22: Air Dominance Fighter

Which we’ll be talking about next time, as both a look back and as something of a review. We’re very excited to cover this important Steam release.

Thank you so much for listening. We love making this show and love the community we’re building. See you for the next episode!

The post 12 – The (Remaining) F-15 Strike Eagle Series first appeared on Retro Dogfight.

Welcome, my friends, to this episode of Retro Dogfight! Today, Chase, Denny and I will look back at one of Dynamix’s earliest flight sims, and its sequel:

• A-10 Tank Killer
• Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II

These games came out almost a decade apart, but you wouldn’t know it from how they played. It’s kind of a shame. I had so much fun, back in the day and now, playing the first game, so we’re left wondering…what happened with its sequel?! It leads to a fun discussion where we have a mostly fun time kinda crapping on the second game, and deservedly so, but you’ll have to listen for the rest.

On our next episode, since we covered the first game a while back, we’ll finish out the F-15 Strike Eagle series, specifically:

• F-15 Strike Eagle II
• F-15 Strike Eagle III

As always, thank you so much for joining us on this, as I like to call it, road trip through these classics. We’re having so much fun revisiting these sims, and I hope you’re having as much fun as we are hanging out with us. Until next time, check your six!

The post 11 – The A-10 Tank Killer Series first appeared on Retro Dogfight.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight! This time, as it’s the holiday season when we recorded this one, Chase, Denny, and I took a break from playing a game to answer your questions, and my goodness, did you folks have a lot of awesome questions.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who sent in so many amazing questions. We had so much fun answering them. So much so that this ended up being our longest episode yet, at almost two hours long! We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we had recording it!

Next up on the show, we’re gonna tackle Dynamix’s classic A-10 Tank Killer series, which includes:

• A-10 Tank Killer
• Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II

Again, thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy the episode!
