How many of you get good memories from this ?

Talk about good times in the 1990s - the Big Box/Big Manual era of gaming... possibly the Golden Age...

Not my pic, but I owned all of these games except 668(I). I remember almost buying it multiple times, but there were always two games I wanted just a little bit more, and it turned into the game that got away. People raved about how hardcore it was at the time, but it was difficult to learn. Missing out on that one is one of my few gaming regrets (LOL).

While not anywhere close realism wise as Airwarrior, Aces of the Pacific (and Aces over Europe, and Aces of the Deep for that matter) were just really fun sims to play offline. Janes F-15 was just incredible for the time - I spent a good year playing that game constantly, then I abandoned it for Falcon 4.0.

Was that the DOS version by Papyrus Software ?

That DOS one was considered really advanced back in that timeframe.... I used to play with it now & then, and even did some races with people in Europe over IHHD (and a UNIX shell account at a local university). This was back when the only option to get internet, was a unix terminal and usually you'd call someone's computer over phone lines with modems. Using IHHD made it possible to game around the world and not have to pay long distance charges. Amazing.

Wow.... the old IHHD page for Airwarrior is STILL online (last update 1996 LOLOLOLOLOL)

look at this old school "home page"

Yeah the date says 1999 last update, but that style of page was considered very cool in the very early first years of <fingerquotes>Cyberspace</fingerquotes> (like 1994). Back then you got on Cyberspace and you would "surf" the World Wide Web.
