I used to play this with my mate in a cockpit formation sitting in chairs, me in front as pilot, him directly behind me as weapons man. We took it really seriously. The moment we beat the game and the map went green, I'll never forget our stunned silence then going nuts.

@@drey8 Hey...thats me in the first seat....^^ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-15E_Strike_Eagle#/media/File:F-15E_Strike_Eagle.jpg Good god - Tornado....the other game, I played years later with my mate in two armchairs.....^^
This one came up at Christmas this year. My uncle gave me this game and I loved it. I was on the FINAL bit of the final mission and was doing very well. My sister, who was pissed at me... powered down the C64 when I went upstairs for Christmas dinner That was in 1987 and I have yet to forgive her. Thanks for the memories! One of the great c64 games.
I had a moment where I was about to refuel for the first time ever, it was bloody hard...down...up...left...down....and it went "contact" and the TV went blank. My friend was leaning on a chair and knocked the plug out the socket. I nearly killed him.
I played that too much with my father, it was probably only cooperative game on C64, and eventhou it is almost 25 years back I remember on this like I played it yesterday :D. Thank you!
A complete blast from the past - I have vivid memories of playing this game with my brother. I was always in charge of launching flares..! Thanks for posting.
It's such a crime this superbly smooth & fast pseudo-3D engine hadn't been reused in other flight simulators. This was the way to go, utilizing C64's cool features and moving 2D graphics elements around seemlesly! And this was 1985 !? Amazing!
We live in Los Angeles and I can remember buying a c64 mail order in 1989. One of the first games I bought was Ace. At that time I also had an amigo 500 and a Mac plus so it didn't get much gameplay. I love flight Sims now and then so I would play Ace all the time. I'm probably the only person in the whole world who took the joystick and taped it to a dinner plate turned upside-down. I then sat on that plate and stuck the joystick into my crotch and just torqued on it to amazingly simulate actual flight combat quite effectively. Very short window on this game and the c64 but I did continue to use that same technique on the Amiga 500 flight Sims. From the days of cheap solutions.
The producers of this game, Cascade, should get credit for not releasing it sooner. There are a lot of features that weren't needed but made it a great game: Speech, multiple missions, multiple enemies, refuelling, winter/summer, dual player. They could have just released a dogfight game without those and it would still have sold. I got this for Christmas from an uncle when I got my C64 in 1985. My other uncle got me Voodoo Castle and he is not as fondly remembered
Man, you rock. I used to play this game a lot with my cousin in my Commodore 128. I used to be the pilot and he was the weapons man. We really sucked at it. I had the hardest time landing the plane... I think my success rate was ~10%, and could not shoot down a plane to save my life. My cousin who controlled the weapons always got tangled up between the flares and the missiles, hence we got hit all the time. On the other hand we were 8 (this was back in 1988), so I guess we got a pass. In any case, you rock. Thanks for the video.
I felt I was maverick flying F-14 in topgun, with kenny loggins playing danger zone playback, that was it was priceless back then... Now I'm at a desk job with my 130cm belly... :)
Brilliant game. My friend owned this back in 1986, but wasn't a big fan (why, I have no idea)! As soon as I played it I was hooked though, and soon I owned a copy. I still play it regularly.
Fantastic game. Ace even (excuse the pun). Me and my friend used to play 2 player on this on a Commodore Plus/4 which ran it slightly faster as I recall. When you beat it, the game would jump to the high score screen and you would end up with a bunch of dots in the player name box as you had been pressing the fire button like a madman just beforehand. Great memories. Came in a cool hard plastic box too.
@@eric.darrot I did. I was able to shoot down all the jet fighters refill in the air and land, and then start agan but nothing was showing on the map again... unless there was anything else I had to do.,
@@juiceter3981 anyone ever take off and forget to bring the wheels up, explode in a fireball? I remember trying to refuel for the first time...down...up...right...down...down...just as it said "contact" the screen went off, my friend had knocked the precarious plug multi-adaptor and knocked the electrics off. I went mental.
Wow, favourite game on the good old C64... What memories! Btw, what is this "goodbye to morning" speech, still don't understand (alas, I'm not native english)
If you flew to the aircraft's top ceiling height and then pointed straight down and go to max speed but then turned off the engines you would continue to fly at max speed without any fuel! :)
The best flight game for the c64. Finished it on hardest level. When i got to the ships i landed and went to bed! Continued the next day as left c64 on (you couldnt save!). The hardest thing to do was land!
You could save the game by saving highscores on the tape. You could restore it by loading highscores... All it took was an extra blank tape... Check out the main menu... This feature made the game even cooler...
I used to play this so much OMG. LOW ALTITUDE. lol I had the one with the photo of the pilot on the front that said something like "eat hot @#$#@" lol Man, think about how far we've come, now I play DCS. There was a game on my C64 that I can't seem to find, it was called FireFox or FoxFire and was a flight sim, but kinda arcadey any idea what that game is? It was like ace, I remember at least having a cockpit of some sort.
Looking for a game similar to this one. Any ideas? Platform: Commodore 64 Estimated year of release: Very late 80s Opening music of the game is space odyssey theme. You are controlling a plane and start shooting some chopters first. Then you land on the ground and start shooting tanks coming at you, sliding right and left. Then you fly again and start shooting jet planes that are faster than chopters in the first stage. Finally, you shoot other black planes that come behind you and you can see them before they come from your rear mirror.
You need to climb to 50,000 min then nose dive. Speed will reach max 1599. Then you switch off thrust to zero for speed to reach 2000. Place now flies at 2000 knots with zero thrust, zero fuel and at sea level... ;)
I completed this game on max Level 9. One of my favorite games all time. I know a way to fly at 2000knots! Am I the only one who knows how to fly this speed...anyone out there..love to hear about it. Andy
I played that game for AGES 30 years ago! And yes... I got to the end, too! ;-) Btw: AirGround rockets are VERY bad for fighting against SAMs.... MG is far quicker! ;-)
I spent hundreds of hours on this and completed level 9. took absolute ages, hundreds of tanks, planes and all!!! I discovered a cheat to fly at 2000 knots!! Anyone else know about this????

@@mikeromney4712 Ah well F15 Strike Eagle was 2 seater but was later than the F15C which I associate with being single seater. ; )
I played this with my younger brother on joy 2 firing missiles while I was flying and manning the cannon. So much fun!
28 minutes and 17 seconds sums up my entire childhood.
Shockingly enough, the gameplay of this baby is still intact.
oh, my Gosh ! I played this game as a kid at my Grandpa's house ^^ thank you for this gameplay as it re-sparks my wonderful childhood memories

Spyhunter was another good co op game, I am here as I am showing my son how to play it on a PC
After 30 years I now know how to play this game...
ΥΕΑ!!!!
I agree mucho respect
same same
Beautifull game of its time I could not master because of my age at that time.
I enjoy watching video of it from an expert.
Thank you.

Definitely in the Top 10 of all time, but not a game people tend to remember when they think C64.An adrenaline pumper, this one.
That's mainly because military combat simulators (be it tank, helicopter, submarine, fighter jet, etc.) is a very niche game genre.
Yep this was one of the best c64 games. Defo top 10

One of the greats, Tornado and FlightPath 737 as we get older videos like this remind us of the classic days of flight sims.
One of my childhood's favourite! :) I have just finished the game at level 3, score: 23650 :))))))

This is actually one of the best games I played on c64, spend hours on it. My dad and I played 2 player on it. Good memories
...And you could also save your game on the tape, so you did not loose your achievements... One of the top 10!
Miss this game and my C64
Used to love this, seemed really high tech at the time.
Loved this game! I never knew the crosshair can be moved. I finished it without that.

Thank you for the wonderful reminder, brought some good memories. This game is the reason why I am now such a War Thunder streamer fanatic
great memories ...at that time game seemed so elaborate to me :-) I love the times when less was enough and everything was pure
damn, thank you for this. good memories playing this for days with my buddy. damn, i'm old.

Lol, I remember this one! Favorite part - air refueling... ;)
Not bad for a 1 MHz + 64 KB machine.
Fantastic game. Ace even (excuse the pun). Me and my friend used to play 2 player on this on a Commodore Plus/4 which ran it slightly faster as I recall.

Would love to play this one again. Sadly my C64 and this game are long gone!!
Use an emulator. Loads available. This video must be from an emulator.
Lol, I still remember that voice from the cockpit. Never heard what it said though
Pure longevity! Masterpiece
Love this game!
This game for its time was very nice and detailed
This was one of the first games that you could save and you did not lose your achievements...
A very good game, I had some struggle with fueling though :-)
Im now 49 Age,i remember Fighter Bomber😊
Coring a kill in this game felt like a big achievement lol
used to love this game. One of my first C64 games. I often wondered if anyone else found the bug to get infinite fuel.
I loved this game, but for some reason I could only fight other jet fighters. Ships were only showed on demo.
You must clear land before...
@@eric.darrot I did. I was able to shoot down all the jet fighters refill in the air and land, and then start agan but nothing was showing on the map again... unless there was anything else I had to do.,
Wow, I used to thrash this game, loved it!!!
I still remember my mom taking me to pick it up!
Memories, treasure them my friend. They count..1987
God.. to think back when i was a kid and this was the most advanced game out there and was popular.... jesus christ im old now lmao
30 years ago ,i was play
I loved this game but i always crashed on landing
Oh the landing was difficult alright! Get it wrong and its game over.
@@juiceter3981 anyone ever take off and forget to bring the wheels up, explode in a fireball?

you don't need a better game
Wow, favourite game on the good old C64... What memories! Btw, what is this "goodbye to morning" speech, still don't understand (alas, I'm not native english)
The refuelling reminds me of a Rubber Johnny coming to choke your plane lol
If you flew to the aircraft's top ceiling height and then pointed straight down and go to max speed but then turned off the engines you would continue to fly at max speed without any fuel! :)
Glen damn! Never knew that! I hated running out of fuel. Remember I though the graphics were amazing at the time!!

Sweet memories sweet comments :-)
I was wondering how you would take off after that landing at 16:00 and then - cut. Hehe :)
I never bothered with the in-flight refuelling. I would just land at the bases.
Does anyone remember the film Daryl?
Hated refueling, one thing I could never do in this game tho was land😂
My first One:
You need to climb to 50,000 min then nose dive. Speed will reach max 1599. Then you switch off thrust to zero for speed to reach 2000. Place now flies at 2000 knots with zero thrust, zero fuel and at sea level... ;)

Nisam imao pojma da može da se pomjera nišan, i da možeš da iskočiš, kao i da onaj avion za dopunu goriva može da dolazi sa lijeve strane :)

I don't remember how to start the afterburner. I did many times but now I don't remember. Do you remember?
I think you went to max afterburner and pointed 90 degrees down or something.

Yesssss❤
Love this game!
