I used to play a bunch of Jane's Advanced Tactical Fighter.

>>10641751
Sims are 80% figuring out the controls and 20% action.

>>10641841
Favorite sub sim?

>>10642528
Aces of the Deep is special to me, it was one of the first I played and it still holds up great. But overall favorite is Silent Hunter 3 (especially with mods, like GWX).

>>10641751
I like older sim games because newer sims seem to appeal exclusively to obsessed autists that want to pretend they're real pilots.

Older games tended to have a bit of fun with their shit.

I used to play a Red Baron's game like this back then, so cool

Does someone know a flight "simulator" for PS1?

>>10643285
No. You're just going to have to settle for ace combat.

>>10643291
>ace combat
I tried it. It's boring.

>>10643308

>>10643317
What is it? Ace combat?

>>10643325
F-29 Retaliator

Overly complicated to the point of being unplayable Space Combat sims are where it's at.

>>10643327
Atari ST. That's my childhood. Thank for the tip anon.

>>10641751
For scientific reasons.

>>10641751
I'm not wading through the pile of sims to find the good ones. Tell me anons, which ones are actually fun?

>>10641751
Mecha.

>>10644747
Armored Core isn't a sim.

>>10641751
To be honest I have yet to see a good sub simulator.

In fact I haven't seen a good submarine game.

Not even a good fun submarine ARCADE game. (arcade games not focusing on realism just fun gameplay).

>>10641802

Anything before or after... is just waiting.

>>10644864
I'm sorry, why are you upset over facts?

>>10644871
My voice is in Sub Command. It's the civilian version of the then-new 2001 US Navy sub simulator. They went around ol' SBASE NLON recording voices of various and sundry sailors just for fun.

>>10644907

>>10644871
Since you mentioned Silent Service; there's also Red Storm Rising, also by MicroProse and Sid Meier, which had a spiritual successor in (not retro) Cold Waters, by a different developer a few years back.

You're the first and only person itt to piss your pants over somebody's response to the topic. I don't know why robots trigger you so much but all shitposting aside you should legitimately fuck back off to /v/ or reddit if you aren't here to talk about your own favorite sim.

>>10644915
Funnily enough, that was the year of the ahem-ahem, which, in the same combat zone as New London, put us into Threatcon Echo until February 2002, right when there were so many games coming out.
I bribed a crank to go out to Waterford (or Waterbury? My memory's fuzzy) to get me GTA3 and MGS2 because I was stuck on security duty, pointing a machine gun at the USCG Eagle.
Which, by the way, the rumors were true. The Eagle used to be the Dortmunder, Hitler's yacht, and was taken as a prize of war.

>>10644975
I find it funny how you consider a short 5 word response as "pissing my pants" over a response. You really need to grow up.

Best Age-of-Sail ship simulator coming through.
(It's far from perfect though, but there's not much competition either desu.)

Okay....Such as? And I swear to god, if you say Gran Turismo...

>>10644859
That's my anon. El Maestro will always live in our hearts.

>>10646515
Gran Turismo. What else?

>>10641751
whats the game to the right?

>>10647432
M1 Tank Platoon 2?

>>10641751
Flight sims, specifically anything with a focus on guns and bombs instead of missiles, i.e. mostly WWII.

>>10647663
You might like A-10:Tank Killer

>>10647663
You might like Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II

>>10644742
mech warrior 2

>>10648408
Mech Warrior Mercenaries.

>>10648690
And I mean the REAL Mercenaries, not that shitty reboot that stole the original's name.

>>10644816
Seaquest, Atari 2600. You’re welcome.

>>10648408
I liked Mechwarrior 3 the best, personally. 4 just pissed me off.
>what do you mean I can’t stuff my legs full of ammo and double heat sinks?! Fuck you! I don’t care that the techs can’t figure out how to reload my Gauss rifle from the ammo pack in my ass, make it fucking happen!

>>10644981
definitely Waterford if you were in New London, Waterbury's over in New Haven County

>>10648728
>>10648728
yes, anon, I mean that one, mech warrior 2: mercenaries

>>10645010
Age of Sail 2?

>>10649614
AoS2 is good too, better in a lot of ways, but for me there's just something about the masochistic immersiveness and realism (for its time) of Man of War 2.

>>10649085
The real problem about MW4 is it's a fucking Q3-mod.

>>10649447
31st Century Combat is superior.

>>10649085
4 is pretty fun but it was very clearly a rushed game and 3 is better in (almost) every single way.
However 4 has the advantage of being able to run on modern computers without any hassle. It's a shame since 3 had a lot of things completely unique to it in the series.

>all this hatred of MW4

Back when this game came out, literally everyone said it was the best mech game of all time. What happened? Did the contrarians get to the game?

>>10650556
You're posting on contrarian central

>>10649085
I prefer 4's more realistic approach, where each mech had specific types of slots for things. Removed the generic "one-size-fits-all" approach to designing mechs and made them have actual trade offs.

>>10650494
download the mechwarrior quadrology, it works with windows 10/11 without problems

>>10650914
Anyone know where to get it?

>>10650983
in the archive

>>10650997
The Internet Archive? Can't find it, can only find individual titles.

>>10650556
Yeah fuck em, I love it. Working your way up in the arena and wrecking the favorites as an underdog is the shit.
If anyone is looking to play it these days, MekTek pack is also awesome because it adds a ton of fresh new mechs to play around with.

This shit is just incredible

>>10651731
Honestly, it looks like a more boring Jane's Longbow.

>>10650567
It's the one thing 4 did way better than 3. MW3's mechs have better "feel" (there's an amount of inertia to movements which is absent from 4), but loadout customization is much better in 4.

None of you are older than 25 and you've never played a real sim in your lives. Dumbest fucking board on 4chen.
Larping zoomers in every thread

>I prefer 4's more realistic approach, where each mech had specific types of slots for things

this. i dunno why MW3 bois cried about this while saying MW3 is more "realistic" than MW4. stuffing as much Gaus Rifles or PPCs into your torso is not "realistic. or any of the other "boat" configs they love using in multiplayer.

>best mech anything at any point in history
Oh no no no

>>10652156
What makes something a real sim then?

>>10652210
Mechwarrior is the standard for mecha games, yes. What is your point again?

ITT: zoomers

Had this game as a kid but back then it ran at like 10 FPS on my PC. Finally played it last year and barely managed to ''finish'' it. The thermal vision doesnt seem to work on Windows 10, so i had to fly blind at night... shitty game.

>>10650556
There's nothing wrong with 4 but it feels like a downgrade compared to 3. But 4 has a mercs game and 3 doesn't.

>>10653182
I liked it...

>>10652637
I'm 32, you little shit.

You're a dumb larping fucking zoomer, is what you are. Absolutely pathetic.

>>10654550
Meds.

Where my motocross anons at? MX Simulator is where it's at!

>>10654123
the game was obviously not meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse, only with a flightstick... The controls were terrible, hell had to scour the web just to find the controls. not to mention it doesnt even have buttonmapping.

>>10655642
>not with a keyboard and mouse
>only with a flightstick
Like the overwhelming majority of flight sims.

>hell had to scour the web just to find the controls
That's what happens when you don't have the original manual/gamebox.

>>10656031
i bought it somewhere in the mid 2000's from a pirated discs shop. Asked the shopkeeper if he had any old PC games, he pointed to a box behind me on the shelf choke full of old shovelware PC games. I grabbed it only by looking at the cover, didnt even know it was a flight sim at the time, thought it was arcadey similar to Incoming Forces...

>>10650556
Mechwarrior 3 fags hated it because they couldn't turn every mech into a lazerboat.
