Replying to Juice - F-19 Stealth FighterF19 Stealth FighterI was addicted to F-19 Stealth Fighter when it came out. I memorized the hot-key overlay and sayed up all night playing it. For the day, the graphics and feel were great, but yes the sound was...Well...Boring, but I thought it worked for the game at the time. I see e-bay still has a few copies of the game floating around on 5-1/4" floppies. Is it available on-line to download like the original RailRoad Tycoon is??-reply by WeedMan

I loved this game as a kid. I've been playing it almost everyday, however I had to relearn all the buttons, part of the fun, and I don't remember the overall strategy as to not be detected by enemy radar. I recently found this one and others, such as Poice Quest 1, on a site theoldcomputer.Com they have a bunch of the classic games. Happy gaming and F19 is def one of the those great classic games.

I used to play this game a lot.  It was developed after the world started getting hints about a stealth fighter (F17)  but the USA govt was still holding the secret.  They got it remarkably close for the limited info available.

The secret for success that I found was to fly slow and low, and fly around the hottest enemy radars.  I liked the long range missions where fuel became critical.

Mostly I liked the "realistic" mode with only the two smart bombs, but just for fun it was good to fly the arcade version with more bombs and guns too.

I'll have to find it again and see if it will work on a dos-box on Vista (HATE Vista).  Any pointers to doing that?

Wow... I've stumbled upon people who remember F-19 and F-117A!  Those were my favorite games as a kid (I had the fighter pilot bug).  I still have those thick manuals laying around.  I used to play F-19 on my 386 with the internal speaker and all.  When we upgraded to a 486, I remember begging my parents to buy me F-117A when I looked at the box art and saw that there were lights on the ground at night and everything.  Sure, they weren't the most realistic flight sims but they were great.

Now it's upgrade time again - I'm building a computer that should be able to comfortably run any game made in the next couple years. I need a good combat flight sim!  Do they make those anymore?  I'd like to play something realistic and cutting edge.  Maybe a 2009 rendition of those awesome Jane's games that came out in the 90's.  What's everyone playing?
