Hey, some of you may know that back in the ancient times (20th century!) I wrote about flight sims for Computer Gaming World, Computer Games/Strategy Plus, and Compute, plus also had some articles about sims in OMNI, Computer Life, etc.

A couple other old-timer friends and I started a podcast where we look back at the sims we started on -- and even the sims that came before we started playing! We're replaying them, and both sharing memories of their original releases and our experiences of trying some of the titles for the first time. "Retro Dogfight: 3 Old Guys Talk About Flight Sims."

It's been super-fun to do so far, and I just want to take everyone who gripes about a texture over on the official MSFS forum and strap them to a chair and make them play these sims. :) But our focus is on the fun of "then," not the griping of "now."

The podcast is also available on the finer podcast apps and sites, like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, etc.

Hope ya'll will check it out!

We have a Discord, too, if you want to chat about the old sims, give us feedback on the podcasts, etc. https://discord.gg/8KqRVav3VY

We just recorded an episode on F-19 Stealth Fighter/F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0. I'm super excited for next month's recording: F/A-18 Interceptor on the Amiga!
 
So, did any of you airplane nerds actually listen to us? :) We've done 8 episodes so far.

It's fun, though I hate losing the nostalgia filter upgrade my memory had done on so many of these sims.
