Bandit on your six -- break! 35 years ago, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (1991) was published by Electronic Arts. Featuring the legendary pilot as technical consultant, the game includes his digitized voice for mission briefings, advice, and praise (he also had a very big say in game development and features, of course). You can fly in over 50 historical missions across World War II (P-51 Mustang dogfights), Korea (F-86 Sabre), and Vietnam eras. It also had a pretty powerful mission creator, allowing you to mix any aircraft, eras, and opponents for endless custom battles. The VCR-style recording was a ncie feature too, so you could analyze your flights and missions afterwards.

MicroProse was one of the leaders of the simulation genre, yet one of the best air combat sims of the 90s was created by a studio mostly known for adventure games: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (Lucasfilm Games, 1991). What started with Battlehawks 1942 (1998) and Their Finest Hour (1989), found its conclusion in the last game of the World War II trilogy. The massive manual includes an in depth background of the Western European Air War between the years 1943 and 1945, technical specs for various planes, and air combat tactics. Definitely not a game for the casual gamer but a feast for fans of air combat sims with a strong historical background. Lucasfilm was renamed LucasArts and later went into space combat sims (X-Wing, Tie Fighter) but sadly never published another historical simulation. A missed opportinity given the huge success of Their Finest Hour and Secrets Weapons of the Luftwaffe.

While MicroProse ruled the simulation genre, one of the best air combat sims of the 90s came from an unexpected place: Lucasfilm Games, a studio famous for its adventure games. Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (1991) brought a close to their excellent World War II trilogy, which began with Battlehawks 1942 and continued with Their Finest Hour. The game came with a huge, incredibly detailed manual packed with historical background on the Western European air war from 1943 to 1945, technical specifications for every aircraft, and real air combat tactics. It wasn’t made for casual players but a true feast for fans who loved deep, historically accurate flight simulations. Lucasfilm later became LucasArts and shifted successfully into space combat with X-Wing and Tie Fighter, but sadly they never made another historical simulation. Given how well Their Finest Hour and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe were received, it feels like a real missed opportunity.

Obviously, flight and air combat sims from the 80s and even into the 90s weren't nearly as visually detailed and stunning as modern ones. But when Falcon was released it was the best air combat sim at its time. It was developed by Sphere and published by Spectrum HoloByte for Macintosh and MS-DOS, with later ports to Atari ST, Amiga, and other platforms. You take control of the F-16 Falcon jet fighter in realistic (at the time!) missions involving air-to-air combat against MiGs and ground attacks. The game features an incredibly detailed cockpit view with instrumentation, multiple HUD modes, radar systems, and authentic flight physics. It had variable difficulty levels and even a black-box recorder for reviewing flights. However, Falcon's biggest strength was walking the fine line between hardcore simulation depth with high playability even for the more casual gamers. I never considered myself a flight sim expert but could still get the F-16 off the ground :) I know, the polygon graphics look dated now but there was a time when this was state of the art. Top Gun (the movie) hit the cinemas in 1986, Falcon was released shortly after... excellent timing.

As a combat veteran, this just kind of bothered me so I had to respond. Also just for the record the highest service rate was 12% in World War II.

Indianapolis 500: The Simulation for the Commodore Amiga (Papyrus/Electronic Arts/1990) is a groundbreaking racing game and one of the best motorsport simulators of the 16-bit era. 1st on MS-DOS PC (1989), it's essentially the same game (although on A500 you'd turn off details, A1200 shown here enables it maxed). Game's downside is that it features only one oval track. Formula One Grand Prix a year later featuring the tracks from 1991 season, surpassed it, content-wise.

The combat of sleeping dogs is so fun and simple in nature, and with many outfits giving you buffs to melee damage (and even new moves), it really has one of the best melee combat in open world genre.
