I played all of them.

 

When AoE came out my dad bought it for me for Christmas. It came on 4x 3 and a 1/2 inch floppies and they somehow got magnetically corrupted so I couldn't install it on the old 486 we had, I almost broke down and cried with frustration. In those days removing the cellophane wrapper from the box was enough to void your warranty so that was that but I kept the manual and read it cover to cover for years. I didn't get to play AoE until I left school, got a job and bought myself a PC and a copy on the new wonder platform of CD ROM.

When I was little, my parents bought a Compaq PC and it included the "Aces Collector's Edition" CD. It had Red Baron, AoE, AotP and A-10. They were the only games I played until they bought a new PC able to run Red Baron II/3D, Janes Longbow 2 and a few others. I agree with his point on modern flight sims lacking soul. I don't think it's a matter of the game play being worse than it was 25 years ago but more a matter of video games in general have advanced by huge amounts and yet we in the flight sim community are still stuck in the early '90's. I just can't immerse myself in BoX's or DCS's campaigns like I can in The Witcher series, Fallout 4 or even Doom.

Right after playing LucasArts BoB sim for hundreds of hours, I got Dynamix Red Baron in stunning 16 bit EGA no less. Finally got the upgraded VGA patch a few weeks later thru the U.S. mail. I'll bet there are some newer simmers here who never had the experience of waiting for a patch to be mailed (not emailed, real honest to God mailed). After that I played both Aces games. I always wished Dynamix would've stay in the sim business.
