Falcon (1989) Amiga 500 Longplay

Falcon, the classic, original, and one of the earliest combat flight simulators on the Amiga 500.
Developed by Sphere Inc. for the mackintosh and PC in 1987 and published by Spectrum HoloByte for the Atari ST and Amiga in 1989.
The 12 Missions -
Mission 1: Milk Run
Objective: Bomb Practise Buildings
This mission is to become familiar with both the MK 84's and the AGM-65B Maverick delivery systems. The Milk Run is also an excellent choice for improving takeoff and landing skills.
Mission 2: Black Bandit
Objective: Shoot Down One MiG-21
The Black Bandit has been creating havoc for months. He is the enemy's best pilot and today he's up, circling and challenging your base to send up their best.
Mission 3: Rattlesnake Roundup
Objective: Destroy Three SAM Sites
Your commander has just gotten word that Strategic Air Command is going to resume high altitude night bombing. The biggest threat to them are the enemy's SA-2 and SA-6 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) You will need to destroy a minimum of three SAM sites.
Mission 4: Double Trouble
Objective: Shoot Down Two MiGs
The enemy is hopping mad and sending up two of their best pilots to pay you back for all the trouble your base has caused them behind enemy lines. They are patrolling their area and waiting for your return.
Mission 5: Dragon's Tail
Objective: Destroy Enemy Suspension Bridge
One principle of war is to deny enemy access to supplies by cutting off their lines of transportation. Knocking out the southside bridge is critical to your side's success in controlling the enemy. Use Mavericks or MK 84s to take out the bridge.
Mission 6: Dragon's Jaw
Objective: Destroy Enemy Cantilever Bridge
The Dragon's Jaw has been an elusive target for your sqaudron. Early on, planes have tried 1000Ib'ers and Mavericks to take out the bridge, but they just seem to bounce of or scorch the paint. Arm your plane with the 2000Ib Low Drag bombs. Try to avoid SAM sites and MiGs until you deliver your package to the Dragon.
Mission 7: Hornet's Nest
Objective: Destroy Enemy Runway
Denying the enemy use of their runway will severely cripple their ability to harass your planes. Your job is to knock out the Central Airport with the Durandel Anti-Runway weapon by hitting the airfield where the two runways intersect.
Mission 8: Bear's Den
Objective: Destro Enemy Communication Center
The enemy's communication center handles all their logistics and coordinates all attacks. Operation Bear's Den requires you to destroy this hotbed of activity. The center is well protected by SAMs. Shoot at the building's base to blow it up.
Mission 9: Venus Flytrap
Objective: Destroy SAM Sites by Regional Airfield
Within 24 hours, Strategic Air Command will launch a major strike to totally destroy the enemy's Regional Airfield. Before they can launch, you must destroy both SAM sites protecting the airfield.
Mission 10: Strike Palace
Objective: Destroy Enemy Headquarters
Enemy headquarters is located north of the Flytrap and nestled in a valley beneath the foothills. Attacking their headquarters will deliver a blow to the enemy morale as well as eliminate a key communications center. You need to destroy both buildings to achieve your goal.
Mission 11: Double Dragon
Objective: Destroy Both Suspension Bridges
Every time we cut off one of their bridges, the enemy simply reroutes the flow of traffic to another bridge. Your task in Operation Double Dragon is to destroy both bridges.
Mission 12: Grand Slam
Objective: Shoot Down Four MiGs
The situation is critical. Intelligence has confirmed hat the enemy is planning a full scale assault on your base today. Your job: do the impossible, which is to intercept and destroy at least four MiGs.

Unwrapped this game as one of the first Christmas presents being a small boy back in the day. Rolling my eyes at my parents and telling them that I won't be able to play this on my C64... Little did I know that a brand new Amiga 500 was waiting for me in one of the others packages. Naturally, I freaked out in joy 😄 Fond memories.

@@reignofvictories2573 Can’t remember 100%, sorry. But I also got the Batman game based on the movie that Christmas. Could indeed be 1989!

[@pfjfutur2997]

This really brings me back to the late 80's along with Gunship and M1 Tank Platoon. I remember how great Flacons graphics where at the time....

[@tech10k14]

My God! The hours I spent on this. I even made a serial to serial port cable to join my two A500's together for multiplay and remember thinking that this was the absolute pinnacle of technology. It would never be bettered.

[@Dueville7777]

Not sure why you are dumping chaff when SAMS are launching at you. You cannot be shot down by SAMS at Captain level.
