The missions are fun, especially since they've actually brought out new mission disks. The MiG pilots are excellent and overall the game will give hours of enjoyment. I don't have a hard disk, but the game won't multitask. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. 2) F-18: Lots of fun, but not too challenging. The mission profiles are original and fun, but they get old too quick. The final mission vs the sub is totally unrealistic (who's gonna use an air to air weapon against a sub? Especially when the F-18 has Air to Ground capability). The missions are also extremely easy. Nice scenery for just flying around. Overall its good, especially for novices, but die hards will find it gets old too quick. 3) F-29: Smooth graphics, good images, and excellent terrain. The game seems a little hard to follow from time to time and the threats can be overpowering. I don't think it's all that realistic, but its still fun to motor around in. I don't own this game, but I've played around on it a little bit at a friend's. I'm not about to buy it if that tells you anything. Those are basically the three that I've played. Personally I still love F-15 Strike Eagle on the old Atari 8-bits. It was totally mindless and the graphics were terrible, but hey you got to bomb Libya! That's enough for me. Later, Kevin R.
