+xucaen Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Which is considered the best flight combat game on the 7800 in terms of fun and excitement - Ace of Aces, super Huey, or f-18? Which is the best in terms of simulation accuracy and smooth controls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 My humble opinion is you're asking the impossible. "Best", "fun", "excitement", don't come near any of the flight simulation games under the 7800. Organize 'Ace of Aces', 'Super Huey', and 'F-18' from "bad", "worse", "worst" is probably possible though. Disclaimer: I dislike flight simulation games in general; regardless if they are basic or complex. Under the 7800, these simulation games are pretty poor choices for gaming on the system. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78001987 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 F-18 is the only true "flight Sim" with Combat aspects for the 7800. Ace of Aces and Super Huey are both very basic, POV/HUD shooters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+xucaen Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks guys! I think I'll stay away from these for now and work on getting Joust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I was going to say Choplifter, but that goes to show how weak the other flight "sims" are on the 7800. That said, Joust is easily the best of the lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong it's nice that they are there to play but short the sports games, those titles are the bottom of the 7800 barrel to me. At a certain point I am sure you can try them all, I don't believe any of them are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 f-14 tomcat isn't half bad. It plays the same as the 2600 version but with nicer visuals. Hard to find working ones though as they are part of much later run Absolute titles that used eproms instead of masked roms and I've had at least 2 that I've found over the years simply not work anymore due to bit rot.

My issue with that one was the controls and how hard it was to land. I'm in the camp of "yeah, it's cool they can pull it off, but don't find any of them the slightest bit fun".
