I had to save for a whole year to get my Amiga 500, I bought it for 1 reason and one reason only - Falcon. I loved that game, and soon got into Stealth Fighter F-19. I still have fond memories of me and my best friend playing F-19 together - one pilot, one navigator. I swear to god, mission planning was more fun than actually flying the mission.
I kind of miss the days when you needed a keyboard overlay to play a game, ( http://oagd.net/file/8358c6a052c1734431c0f16cb4fa8efd41daf37... )- and the later Falcon games had one of the biggest manuals I've ever seen.
Makes me think I should take a look at the current state of combat flight sims.
Any good recommendations that would work on a linux system? (it's a decent laptop, 16GB RAM and Nvidia card with 2GB)
