twh/f2 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Howdy *.*! Can we create a complete list of Microprose games, ported to the xl/xe machines? Here my list I can remember: * Solo Flight * F-15 Strike Eagle * Kennedy Approach * Silent Service * Crusade of Europe (?) * Gunship (?) * ... I wanna complete my disk-based Microprose collection. But not all titles are easy to find, so I could look out for the c64 boxed-version and reformat the disk with the atari version. Are there any differences to the box contents??

Nukey Shay Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 One interesting thing about MicroProse is that current and upcoming titles are sometimes mentioned on the boot screens of the games (Solo Flight and F15 I remember had this). Perhaps try loading them into an emu to find out more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Floyd of the Jungle and Hellcat Ace were some of Sid early 8bit efforts. FLyod has some addictive qualities to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 * Crusade of Europe (?) Yes, I've seen it. * Gunship (?) Unconfirmed. Some claim it came out. Would add these: Conflict In Vietnam Decision In The Desert Mig Alley Ace Nato Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 As an ex-microprose employee I can give you some heads up on the rumored titles - Gunship, Pirates, Airbourne Ranger and F19 although advertised were NOT developed for the XL/XE range... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation was that they did a 48K version in order to include 800 owners, but apparently they were not satisfied with it. Well thats the story I heard anyway.

krupkaj Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 btw what about Acrojet from Microprose? I have heard that it exists for 8 bit Atari but I did see it yet. Does anybody know something about this title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetboot Jack Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Acrojet and Gunship (plus the others) were anounced, but not produced - they were to be ports of the C64 versions, nothing was ever taken further than a press release - believe me I spoke to many. many collegues at MPS and that was their take on those games... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 The F15 manual that I have is dated 1986...though it might be second edition (because it includes a couple Gulf conflicts about that time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
