Apache Longbow

I'm recommending this wonderful game, but there's a caveat: This is the same 1996 version you'll find on GOG and Zoom Platform. I bring this up because there's a newer version, from 1998, that uses the updated iF-16 3Dfx engine, that is a much better version of this game. Now, this game is great regardless, but it's sad that we're not getting the latest version, so I just wanted to make y'all aware of it. That said, again, if you're into flight sims, you need to own this one.

Joystick don't work, controllers are not supported, and I am not a keyboard player. It just feels wrong. I can't adjust the screen size. I either get a 4x6 inch screen, or full screen 1920x1080, which distorts the information. I wish I could get a refund.

Players are responsible for navigating the aircraft across hostile environments while identifying and engaging enemy targets. Missions range from reconnaissance and escort assignments to direct assault operations against armored columns and fortified enemy positions. Each mission places the player in a dynamic bat…
