The history of WWI flight sims (Game list)
Posted by David on September 11, 2008 05:31 PMA couple months ago, John Goodrich rightly pointed out that I'm missing a LOT of WWI flight sims on my website, particularly older sims. I've been debating how to add this content to my website, but I think I'll start with this post. Here's the list of games that John compiled and sent to me.
I've made a few edits, and there is likely a lot of missing information. My mission is to attempt to get ahold of a lot of these games, play them, and review them. I'll provide screenshots and maybe some video.
Know a sim that's not listed? Have any ROMs of these games? Let me know and I'll credit you in the review :)
