I still fire it up and play every few months! RBII (pre-3D patch) was the first flight sim where I joined a squad (JG2) and flew online...good times. I bounce around between the HA Super patch, Stock and WFP. I know it might be ugly these days but I can still see the beauty within. The RBII box was pretty awesome too even though I don't have it anymore. I vividly remember being in my local Electronics Boutique and opening the RBII box: After seeing that...it was a done deal. Especially the pic in the upper right...really sold me. Thanks for the nostalgia Dutch! S!

My first sim (and CD drive and sound card) I bought as a job lot and it is Wings of Glory. I still have the CD and all the books. I quite enjoyed it although I was a much better pilot in those days (or with that sim) than I am with OFF or WOFF. It is, howevever, a pain to get it to work in DOS nowadays. I tried an Oracle VM running FreeDos but had trouble with the sound (no sound at all) and gave up on it. I think that Creative CD drive was single-speed

Anyone remember how hideously buggy and incomplete that Red Baron II was upon release? I still remember the missing textures all over the place.

Anyone remember when RB3D was launched? I can't even recall if it was the 90s or the 00s. RB launched in 1990 and RBII in 1997. Blimey, I'm old.
