Last week, we reported that Microsoft and Atari were in the process of rereleasing a selection of classic flight simulators and wargames for modern computers via Steam. At the time, F-15 Strike Eagle and The Ancient Art of War in the Skies had already been released, with Solo Flight, Harrier Jump Jet and Dogfight set [...]
When it comes to retro gaming, everyone seems to have a slightly different “cutoff point” with regard to how far back into gaming history they’re willing to explore before the games become too old and clunky to bother with.
