Hey We have an old user.  yes F -18 was very cool for its time.. even the f -16 was fun in the game... the one mission I had problems with was the cruise missle one. I liked the one that we had to intercept the f 16.. it was ahead of its time. was my first amiga game got in in a pkg with 2 other games earl weaver basball and Ferrarie and a epx joystick.  all 3d games but the ferrarie one you could only drive with the mouse. no analoge joys ticks

Oh  yeah California games was a good one to from epx.

That was a blast. for the time. I loved that game cane beleive I forgot about it.

There is an Amiga 1200 Emulator out there, but for copyright reasons you have to have access you your own genuine Amiga ROM's....

The Amiga is quite well protected!

The "Genesis" Emulator will run many Console Games...>>>

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/ge ... usion.html

Search for "Emulators"...

Paul.... 8-)...!

Read the set-up instructions on the Amiga Emulator Site regarding Copyright and ROMs

Paul... ;)...!

I've already got the Amiga 1200, its various Hardware, and all the Games, so I don't need the Emulator.
