Comanche: Maximum Overkill PC

Anyone else remember this game for the PC?

At the time of its release in 1992 a customer of ours purchased a top spec. PC just to run this game! I am sure it was a 486DX33, Vesa local bus graphics card, CD drive, 17" Monitor, Soundblaster Pro, 40GB hard drive and 16 ,,,,,, yes 16MB of RAM. System cost was around £1,400

When I first saw this game it blew me away!

I think I have the floppies from the Floppy-based version that I bought eons ago.

that game is one of the few flightygames I like.

Descent is still my favorite.

not that its really a flight sim...

Oh oh! While not that game, I remember playing the demo for Comanche 3 quite a few times. Somehow, I found most enjoyment in crashing the helicopter into things - thought it looked cool when it blew up I guess :S That game looked pretty good, voxels and all.

A bit of topic, but I also remember playing demos of NovaLogic's F-22 & F-16 games (especially Lightning II). Good times.

Sadly, I don't remember this game. I was too busy playing Dropbox (Dropoff?) and PipeDreams at the time (older PC = budget software = perpetual envy).

Dude, pipedreams was 1337

so was Jezzball, and Chips Challenge

and that mouse game with the cheese and the block pushing. Dont hate on poor people games.

I remember Commanche! I also remember X-Wing...oh yeah!

X-Wing for me was the shit! I still have the cd version somewhere

Whoa, brings back memories. I had a friend who had this and we would always hang out at his house and game.

Has anyone played the game with a flight stick?

God, to play Chip's Challenge again! That game was the bomb!
