What a catchy phrase from this old Microprose catalog! Today I don't have a specific sim in the strict sense, but a catalog from Microprose. I got it with my Gunship box back in 1986.

| Conflict in Vietnam |
A whole bunch of classics in this single catalog. My first contact with Microprose was F-15 and Conflict in Vietnam on my Commodore 64. As not uncommon in those times none of them was a legal copy and I didn't have a proper manual. When I mail ordered Gunship in 1986 and saw the fine manual it came with I was more than happy. Anyway, the next sim I will take a look at, will be Gunship by Microprose. I will stay with the C-64 version this time.

Wow the C64 (and Atari) had all the early sims! Didn't hear about most of those in the UK.
ReplyDeleteMost of them were for the Atari and Commodore. As far as I remember, in the UK Sinclairs Spectrum was the most popular system.
