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!

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

The post 10 – Q&A first appeared on Retro Dogfight.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to this latest episode of Retro Dogfight! In this episode, we look at the seminial massively multiplayer flight sim series that began in 1998, the Air Warrior series! This includes:

• Air Warrior
• Air Warrior II
• Air Warrior III

I learned a LOT during this episode. For example, did you know this was the first graphical massively multiplayer game? Before this, it was all text-based games like popular multi-user dungeons, or MUDs. I had no idea!

Even though these were primarily multiplayer games, there’s a lot of single-player fun to be had here, and if you have patience, these can be very educational sims. There’s a lot to love here, and a lot of fun to discover. Air Warrior III, for example, has hundreds of missions and many campaigns, and is definitely worth exploring if you have an interest in flight sims covering the time periods these games cover.

Next time on the show, we’re gonna zag a bit and answer your questions! Thank you so much for sending in so many wonderful questions! We can’t wait to answer them!

Thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show!
