What joystick did you use for Comanche 3? I've been eyeing on alternative input controllers (specifically a wheel, arcade stick, flight joy stick) and maybe VR once I build my own PC.

Still remember how much of an upgrade Comanche Maximum Overkill felt like from LHX attack chopper, voxels were like living in the future.

Favorite game growing up, hands down. Always nice to see it get some love. Would you be able to do a tutorial to get it working?

Did you try Enemy Engaged Comanche vs Hokum ? It's cheap on GOG at most sales.

I remember playing some of this years ago! Shame they're not available anymore (other than 4). Surprised to see that you didn't mention the more recent remake/sequel/whatever it is from a from years ago too.

loved comanche 3 as a kid, maybe they could remaster it and use the voxels for raytracing or something.

It’s awesome you posted this! Coincidentally, somebody just gave me an old Sony Vaio Desktop Pentium 200 PC. It’s perfect for Comanche 3 which I just got a used copy of from eBay. I cleaned up the PC (it was headed for the recycling center) and installed Windows 98 and Comanche 3. I made it through the training missions with my Sidewinder 3D joystick. Quick question - have you beaten ALL the missions in Comanche 3? It’s my new goal! Just wondering who else may have done it. Thanks for the video!

This is my childhood game

My dad's scout unit in the Army was supposed to get Comanches to replace their Kiowas, sadly as we all know the program was cancelled and he flew Kios until he ended his tour.

A stealth helicopter was a dubious concept to begin with, because rotors are excellent at reflecting radar beams. And by the time RAH-66's prototype was making its test flights militaries across the world had developed new technologies and strategies against stealth aircraft, which worked well against F117's in Kosovo. Meaning that the Comanche would also be vulnerable. And being primarily a reconnaissance helicopter, it already faced stiff competition from drones. In short, the project was a poorly thought out waste of taxpayer money.

Whoa, these look really impressive for their age.

this game was made FOR DOS? wow it looks like win 98 title

Take my like, dear human. Longer Comanche 4 review would be highly appreciated

My favourite thing about Comanche Gold is the stealth gameplay. Hugging the terrain at below 20ft while maintaining speeds above 100 knots feels really satisfying. I hope Novalogic (if they still exist) sees this and make a remaster. I will willingly pay at full price.

SEAL Team, tactical combat simulation (1993) by Electronic Arts (EA) for MS-DOS

There was a full screen FOV mode. You just have to click on the upper left icon on you helmet (red square.).

I love invisible war. I played the first one on ps2 and the second one, the OG Xbox. I was impressed and still wanna play the first two over the last two.

I have this big boxed, however i never played it. I saw the ads and read the review in CGW but never played it. Who knew that this game was so cool? The ads and reviews told me otherwise.

Thanks for the nostalgia. Comanche 4 looks very similar to Mechwarrior 4 in terms of terrain, HUD and color palette.

I love crimson skies.

"Fan fiction lore is brain poison" I mean, to be fair, the story and lore of the Marathon trilogy has always been a minefield/goldmine of cognitohazards. The trilogy wouldn't be the masterpiece that it is if not for the way it teeters precariously on the razor thin line between the looming threat of spiral-inducing brain poison and the 90s era sprite shooting that's oddly juxtaposed but somehow a perfect counterbalance. Now that I'm done fooling myself into thinking I'm funny and clever, I will say that Apotheosis X really is very impressive and shows the talent and dedication that exists in the relatively miniscule community of fans that exists and is still active in this day and age, and not only because the new campaign itself is impressive. Apotheosis X does a really good job of utilizing some of the more advanced features of the Aleph One engine that have been developed and folded into the codebase over the years but still rarely ever see use by most of the active mappers that are releasing mods and custom campaigns for it. Some of those more advanced features are actually pretty impressive when viewed through the lense of how old the original games are and how old the original source code for the Marathon 2 engine (which iirc is the code that ended up seeing further development by the community after Bungie released it but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that served as the foundation that Aleph One would eventually be built off of, especially considering the fact that up until pretty recently Aleph One was developed and maintained by a very, very small group of people compared to number of hobbyist devs that are working on source ports that are available for other FPS games from around the same time that maintain an active player base today like Doom/Doom II or Quake. It does seem like development of Aleph One has picked up some momentum recently, probably because the announcement that the Marathon IP is being revived brought attention to the originals and the modern Marathon community and I imagine that a number of returning fans from the old days and maybe even some people that had never played or heard of Marathon until within the last couple of years (including myself, Marathon is older than I am by nearly half a decade) have been drawn in, and of those people that are just starting to engage or reengage with the Marathon community I get the impression that some of them are looking to contribute to Aleph One itself or to the modding and mapping scene that's built around it.

The gameplay is very dated now but damm the dialogue is very good. Kain's literature form of speaking is dark, beautiful & poetic.

Sounds like you love this one!

The automatic is neat to have but it's one of these things that you rather not use

I just enable the cheats rather than lower the difficulty lmao

That childhood moment when you realize that you are fucked when you turn a corner and a tank already has its gun pointed at you

The world and its pirate premise is so much more interesting to me than the military and war themes of so many other dogfight games

I spent so much time playing 1, wrath of heaven and fatal shadows. New Tenchu would be great, but hell I'd buy whatever console needed just for remastered versions and I haven't bought a console since the 360 and that was for Tenchu Z which was disappointing

I just rebooted this on Win10 and connected a joystick. So much fun for an old gamer like me. I bought this from the PX in 2001. Frustratingly good.

Why does this remind me of Otogi?

Voice control npc on the campaign was a 1st im sure 💪

The goat shooter no other 3rd person managed to do it as well 💪

we need a version of "TIMELINE OF THE MIDDLE AGES IN FILM"

5:56 where on there !

So wait, this game has a system in place that means if you destroy the enemies economy it actually has consequences in game? How old is this game again? Cause I know a lot of modern RTSs that don't have such a system in place.

fortune's run simply looks perfect . every detail is well done. visuals atmosphere weapons setting and performance

the presentation and aersthetic and visual design is perfect for the sci fi mech genre. there is a contrast between the bleak desolate mist of the background and the grey and metal military colors of the buildings and some neon effect on top .

Spent countless hours playing socom 1-combined assault

When I searched this game, I don't know why this didn't came in search. Please add tags so it comes up

so operation flashpoint is basically arma for single player. i love the immersive scale of the large open fields. easy wishlist addition. this channel is full of hidden old gems.

i like the animations and the visuals of the setting and characters designs it has that conan the barbarian look. the combat does stand out with the little sidesteps but not as sharp as and as slow as the souls serie. still worth checking.

Thing is, I'd strongly argue that this game has more realistic flight physics than war thunder. But you have to put far more time into it due to the grind.

Genuinely feels like a gzdoom game

Recoil and Dungeon Siege were the two gems of my childhood pc gaming 💜💯

That Was Great, Man! Wish I'd Seen It Three Years Ago! I Only Had The Demo But Would Love To Play That Game Again. Thank You. (Like #751 - Comment #156)

It was a fun game however Microsoft's flight models are not the best. The specs they list for the various aircraft and the way they actually fly does not match per usual for a Microsoft product.

Can you review a DOS game called Hi-Octane? Probably you never heard of it. It is a complete underdog, great game. You only use arrow keys, Z, X and spacebar. Combat racing for hovercrafts. Pure adrenaline. Do yourself a favor and play it and if you like it, review it.

If you think FS2 is difficult, try Independence War Deluxe edition of Battlezone 98 redux. The learning curve is very steep. But oh boy, it is worthy to win those games. Best hard scifi ever.
