Shot97 | Flight Simulator II - Amiga - Gaming Memories And Review @Shot97 | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Flight Simulator without the Microsoft! It's not like they had much to do with it anyway! The ground breaking 2nd version of a series still going strong to this very day, shown here on the Commodore Amiga. While it's defined as the 2nd in the line, the Amiga version is really the third generation of the simulation, showing countless improvements over other releases at the time. So much so that the PC releases of 3.0 and 4.0 were based off the Amiga version of II. We'll be showing off numerous magazines from back in the day, comparisons, successes and failures by myself, and we'll take a look at the 200 plus pages of manual and maps! it was a lot of fun putting this together, and it was months of work! Presented in its intended 4:3 aspect ratio from NTSC hardware!
