Anyone remember Tornado?

Cleaning up and came across the manual for Tornado which I remember playing on the PC in what must have been around 15 years ago (probably even longer).

The game came on 3 or 4 floppy disks and all the operating procedures from installation to flying of the aircraft was covered in the 330 page manual that came in the massive card board box. Bearing in mind the 330 pages covered just the one aircraft!!

Had it for Amiga though it had an unplayable framerate even on a 1200.

Yeh was quality, Combat Air Patrol was my favourite flight sim from that gaming era.

I <3 that game. Spent many a late night flying the missions. Still got it somewhere.

I'm sure it was fine on mine?

Having said that though, I was about 10 so whether or not I would have noticed is entirely up for debate.

TFX!!!!!!!!!

Probably the best arcade flight sim ever! Period

I was always a Falcon 3.0 & 4.0 fan, but I do remember reading Tornado reviews at the time. This was the era of 'forest killing' game manuals and serious value for money.

I have fond memories of thrashing my poor 386sx trying to play that. With all the cut scenes and lovely graphics it did feel a very special game, but sadly I could never finish the first level with any of the aircraft.

Eurofighter, it's semi sequel was most excellent though.

Yea, TFX was fantastic. Still remember it all and the ever sombering 'captured' screen....

Still waiting for black shark

How about F-19 Stealth Fighter? It was one of the first PC games I remember playing, used to love it.

Knights of the Sky for a bit of WW1 action.
