Title File Size Graphics Sound Cracked? Boots? Runs on: Comments Extras
Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Simulator 114 KB c,e,t p y n 8086 Faster flight simulator than Microsoft's, but not as accurate... Also, this particular copy is very rare--Microsoft sued EA, saying that "flight simulator" was trademarked, so EA came out with Advanced Flight Trainer--but the fine quality of abandonware at Trixter's Abandonware Archive provides you with the true collector's item: the original software before the change!
Chuck Yeager's Air Combat c,e,v,t,h P,a,s,t,X y n all Great air combat simulator; fast graphics and excellent gameplay.
Comanche: Maximum Overkill 3.76 MB v p,a,s ? n 386+ First use of voxel technology in a game--very impressible and playable on a 386/33 or higher. If the game doesn't work, get and install the patch. Patches

F14 Tomcat 970 KB e,t,v p,a,s,t,X y n 8086,286 Fast simulator--impressive on a 286 with VGA. So fast, in fact, that there was a C64 version of this game as well.

Jetfighter 2 862 KB c,e,v p,a y n ? An advanced jetfigher simulation for its time (1990); still not too shabby.
