Vintage combat sims

摘要

Dear PC Pilot I've been into flight sims for a long time now, so I've seen how the technology, in terms of software and hardware, has moved forward in leaps and bounds. It's now at a point, particularly in terms of graphics, as seen in your magazine, where it's difficult to tell whether you're looking at a photograph or a screenshot. Yet, in spite of this great technological advance, I still periodically go back to my old combat flight sims because I still find them fun and immersive. Perhaps it's because, 'back in the day', developers, due to technological limitations, put more time and effort into the 'gameplay' aspects of a product.
