Classic British Flight Sim

It's now up on Steam (modernised slightly to run on current PCs and large monitors without issue) for just under a fiver!

I used to love this game, it was as close as I could get to the Cold War turning hot, since leaving the forces. It just had something extra!

Not really simulation - more arcadish, but great fun, nevertheless!

Yes, I bought it and gave it a quick go - runs very well (old graphics engine accepted) and I can't wait to find a couple of hours free time to get stuck in!

Yes.. I remember Gunship. Was it just Gunship or was it Gunship2000? For that matter, were there TWO.. Gunship AND Gunship2000?? I remember one of em anyway. It ran okey dokey on my intel 25SX and better still on my Pentium 50

Looks like fun. I never had Gunship but I do remember spending many hours playing 'Apache Longbow' on my old DOS box, in fact I carried it through win 95, 98 and Win2K IIRC.

I've just looked at the vid and I don't remember mine looking like that Mine was more a green on black background.. not colour. What might that have been then?

Gunship 2000 on the Spectrum Dave... two cassettes!

Dag nab it.. didn't have a spectrum mate. I was posh.. went from an Amstrad PCW256 to the intel 25SX Could have been Gunship2000 though.. this seems to stick in whats left of my brain

Had Gunship back when. Can't remember which computer though, probably the Atari ST

I remember Gunship very well. In fact I think I've still got it somewhere in the loft. I wonder if they'll release Microprose's M1Tank Platoon too ?

I kept all this stuff until we moved to the Midlands 2 years ago. It was always going to be impossible to bring the rubbish I'd lugged around with me for years so the lot ended up in our huge bins and a skip we hired before we left the pub. I was sad to see it all go but there was no other option

I wish someone would do the same for Janes F15. Unfortunately it uses the 3DFX engine which is history.
IMHO one of the best fighter combat games out there.
