F-29 Retaliator Unboxing & Amiga vs Atari ST, PC VGA, FM Towns

A flight simulator developed by Digital Image Design and published by Ocean in 1989. This video features unboxing of the Amiga version, trivia, CRT capture and comparison with the Atari ST and PC on real hardware, as well as the FM Towns under emulation. This is an entry level air combat simulator featuring simplified systems and controls, but very detailed 3D graphics running at high speeds, as well as adequate sound. You can either fly the F22 or the X-29 in four different maps. Gameplay is too easy and unrealistic, but some very basic things do work. REM ** User's Memories ** I first found out about it when I read the Special Review on Pixel magazine's February 1990 issue and I was stunned by the screenshots. It was described as the best air combat simulator ever, but when I played it on the Amiga a year later, I found out how far from the truth that was. The graphics were very good though and I especially liked the static screens. I even prefer the ones on the Amiga and ST to the updated ones of the PC version. I already knew about the F-22 and the X-29 since the mid-80s, as I had read two short articles about them in the Airforce's magazine, so it was nice to see them featured in a game. The PC version released in 1991, has got many bug fixes and slightly improved control, but still feels very scripted. The FM Towns version released in 1993 has got the best sound and music.
