F/A-18 Operation Iraqi Freedom
Graphic Simulations2005
F/A-18 Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Desert Storm is the successor to F/A-18 Hornet Korea. It features a campaign with 27 unrelated missions set in the Gulf region. Typical examples are the bombing of ground targets or escort missions. On most missions the player gets help by other aircraft including the famous A-10 Warthog. The game strongly focuses on the realistic simulation of the F/A-18 Hornet so the player has to work with a complex set of key combinations to control it. Twelve tutorial missions are designed to introduce the player step by step to the aircraft. The game also features an editor to create custom missions.
Hellcats Over the Pacific
Parsoft Interactive1991
Hellcats Over the Pacific is a flight simulator focusing on the Pacific Theater of World War 2. The player assumes the role of a Grumman F6F Hellcat pilot in both land and carrier-based missions using guns and bombs. Hellcats used a special algorithm that Eric Parker initially programmed on a Sun SPARCstation to speed up the display of graphics on the screen. Hellcats offered amazing 256 colors at a time when 16 colors were the norm and (for the time) insanely smooth and fluid animations. The game was a huge hit on the small Macintosh gaming market, selling more than 50,000 copies. It ranked for years in the "most popular games" sections of magazines like Inside Mac Games and won Macworld magazine's yearly award for the "Best Simulation Game".
