  • Gunship depicts one of the Western world's finest attack helicopters: The AH-64A Apache. This simulation recreates the weapons, flight systems, and performance of the real machine. The player controls an arsenal that includes laser-guided Hellfire missiles, a 30mm cannon controlled by helmet gunsights, clusters of bombardment rockets--even air-to-air missiles for duels with enemy helicopters. The game starts with flight training at a base in the United States. Tutorials teach the player to handle the copter; once the controls and flying skills are mastered, there are escalating challenges and hundreds of missions in any one of four regions of the world, including Southeast Asia, Central America, the Middle East, and the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies in Western Europe.

    Didn't realize how much imagination I had used when playing this. At the time the graphics seemed to be amazing and the gameplay seemed lifelike.😂

      I just had the same exact thought before coming to comments, lol - this game used to seem so realistic haha - im gonna look up F19 Nighthawk next - (i think it was F19...maybe F117 - these games were awesome)

      Yeah, the graphics looked way better in my nostalgic memories of the game than the actual game😂

    I played the shit out of this game. Will never forget the night I was playing in Europe on the hardest level and was shot to shit limping back to base after completing both objectives and I was awarded the CMOH. Great memories!!!

      Well on C64 it sound somewhat better as does the rest of the game. But the PC graphics are much better because you don't just have unfilled 3D grids. :)

    Great game. Many hours on it. Sound effects are off here though. At least diff than the original on a Tandy 1000

    So smooth compared to Gunship 2000 you uploaded earlier. Was the second game locked to 10fps on PC or something? I seem to remember both Amiga versions of Gunship 2000 were even worse, and ran at ~3fps

    • @phj9894
      @phj9894 4 роки тому +1

      In gunship all objects are rendered as dots or flat square, that's probably why it's faster

    Somehow inferior to the C64 version, even the rotor sound has no pitch variation.

    I want to see the fan remake of it just like oolite or pioneer. While it's fun, 3d presentation is too abysmal for today.

    Sadly the easily available versions don't work with the Dosbox. I have the game on the floppy disks, but I don't have floppy drive to get the original files (and not going to spend 30€ to get PS/2 adapter to ATA and to USB, with likelyhood fail) so I have license to game, and right to use any compatible copy (PC) to play game.
    In the game I get to menu, but can't get any further as save games are corrupted.
