In September 1994 a “gold version” of ‘Falcon 3.0’ would appear with all its extensions, but the company announced something important: the development of ‘Falcon 4.0’ began. New extensions would come to this title, and in 1993 another stage would begin for Spectrum Holobyte, which was acquired by MicroProse. The F-16A Block 15 was modeled in great detail, and its managers claimed that they had been based on the dynamics of military flight simulators. It was even possible to see our fighter from the outside, and the MiG-29 was also included as an adversary.Īfter some additional extensions in 1991 would arrive ‘Falcon 3.0’, an especially ambitious edition and demanding with the computers of the time, since one of the requirements was that they had a mathematical co-processor. In 1988 would appear ‘Falcon AT’ (Falcon 2.0), a graphically improved edition for the Amiga and Atari ST that for the first time was based on polygon primitives and not in bitmap graphics. That game allowed us to fight against the MiG-21 and also had attack missions to land bases, and allowed to select different levels of difficulty. That game was the first of a spectacular saga that would take three years to take a fundamental step: it came to PCs based on MS-DOS and Macintosh in 1987. In 1984 Spectrum Holobyte released ‘F-16 Fighting Falcon’ for the MSX. Today the legacy of ‘Falcon 4.0’ is still very much alive thanks to that community, which after multiple derivative versions continues to help the current edition, Falcon BMS, continue to give a lot of war. It is for many reasons, but also for a community of users that has managed to keep this simulator alive for over two decades. For many people that game is ‘Falcon 4.0’, a flight simulator developed by MicroProse in 1998 that became one of the best in history and in which we piloted the legendary General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. Probably all of you who read us have one or more special games in your life.
