Name that GAME Thread

wings?

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe?

Looks like it might be Pacific Theater to me. No idea though. The only ones I've played way back in the day are Battlehawks 1942, Pacific Strike and Aces of the Pacific. This looks more recent than any of them.

I played this off a demo disk. I did have the PSP sequels, PQ and PQ2.

Got it in one ,and I had no idea they did a sequel to it on PSP! :O

You're up! :)

Just like how Lost in Space ended Titanic's epic No. 1 Box Office run, Intelligent Qube was the combo breaker for me renting Metal Gear Solid for four months straight.

Legion abandoned us.

Oops, forgot to check back.

Unfortunately, all wrong answers so far!

Hint: it is indeed more recent than those. This was a Windows game, not a DOS game.

Combat Flight Simulator 2 or 3?

Nope, but I loved CFS.

how does a game this old have that many UIs?

Chick Yeager something something?

Good guess but also not correct.

Final hint: this was not a game you played by yourself.

Warbirds?

Nope, but now we're close.

Angry Birds

Fun fact: people used to spend more to play this game for 1 hour than what Angry Birds cost.

Steel Battalion?

Blazing Angels?

Air Warrior?

I very vaguely remember seeing magazine ads for it back in the day. If I'm right, then the answer to Carlbear95's question is that it was an online game that supported a fairly wide range of hardware from the late '80s through the '90s.

Yep. The screenshots from that second post were from the Atari ST, Amiga, and Macintosh versions.

I played in the free beta for Air Warrior for Windows (I was a teenager and certainly couldn't afford to spend $2 an hour to play the final released version). In 1996, that kind of persistent world, many simultaneous players environment was mind-blowing.

Before the Windows version, the game had lived in those pre-Web online services like GEnie, Compuserve, Delphi, and AOL.

That was a deep cut. Well played!

I don’t have anything as good to follow that up with, so free play!

Here's a game I consider to be a hidden gem:

Edit: Marchantia was faster than me

I think that's Deadly Tower of Monsters, which is indeed a gem of a game.

Free play if I'm right.

Free play it is!

Pickin' it up!

That's from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All, I think.

Free play if I'm correct.

Right on the money, Ravanon!

Free play, yall~

Thank you! That image was driving me nuts, because I knew I had seen it in a game, but couldn't place it at all.

I'll take the free play:

This was also a game people spent more than the cost of Angry Birds on to play for...a month.

Gonna take a shot in the dark and say "World of Warplanes"?
