Why o why was this sim never updated??? - 04/16/05 01:42 PM
I've said this about other older flight sims but none of them that I know of deserves new life more than this one!
What little I've read about EF Typhoon this morning, I think I'll pass on it unless I come across it at EB Games or it becomes abandonware.
Here's something really interesting (to me anyway ). Prior to playing JetFighter IV in mid-'03, the only flight sim I'd ever played for any length of time was MicroProse's Nighthawk F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0, and that was a long time ago. Well, one day I was at the St. Augustine, FL outlet mall and on a whim, I remember picking up a flight sim for $10.00, but never got it running correctly or something (don't remember, just too long ago).
I'll be damn if this isn't the game...

When I saw the box I immediately thought to myself, "HEY, I HAVE THAT ONE!" I recognize the box without a doubt and I know I have this game somewhere in storage (doubt that I would throw something like this away). Well, I'm going to have a fun weekend looking through many closets and boxes.
But even if I do find it, it can only be the DOS version in that box, right? I guess there's no way to patch it to Win95, but what I'm most interested in is any Manual that might be in the box. Or even if just a printable PDF. Would it have all the information I need to play Super EF2000?
BTW, I remember starting that sim now, a British voice and lots of white mountainous landscaping. It has GOT to be the same game!
I'll get back to you if I find it.
