✦ AI summary
Players praise Gunship 2000 as a timeless classic that delivers exceptional mission variety, pilot progression, and crew management systems that have never been matched by modern helicopter games, with the standout feature being the ability to command AI wingmen and manage their careers. While nostalgia clearly plays a significant role in players' attachment to the game, they appreciate that it still holds up well and that this release has improved joystick controls. The main criticism is that the flight model and controls feel dated compared to contemporary standards, though this doesn't prev
I remember typing in C:\GS2000 and then executing the game back in the day then throwing the card keyboard overlay over my PC keyboard, then i watched the intro sat down whilst scoffing my Spicy Tomato Pot Noodle in a rush whilst my hard earned Commanche made its way to the Primary and Secondary Missions. The Joy i got when i first got promoted to 2nd Lt to have my own flight of Gunships was amazing, picking out the helicopters and their load outs and feeling sadness when one of my prized pilots was lost or the joy i got when i got to hand them medals and promotions, it was amazing. To this day, no other gunship game as ever come as close to my heart as this game has 30 years ago, it loaded me with so many memories and feelings that i don't get from any modern game these days. I never made it to Brigadier general either! Legendary game, graphics aren't exactly Arma 3 standard, the Sound ain't that great, it comes with the phillipines and antarctic add on disk, it also offers superb nostalgic experiences for those of us whom was gaming playing simulators in the 90's. And it might appear as a clumsy ancient game, but you could not be anymore further from the truth as I have ju…22 found this helpful
Bought this for Gunship 2000. It is everything I remember from what it was back in the day and plays great on Windows 10. Of all the retro games I've bought in the last few years I probably play this one the most. This package also comes with a version of the original Gunship (IBM PC version I think) - I haven't tried that one, but I've sunk hundreds of hours into the Commodore 64 version back in the 80s and early 90s. My favorite part about Gunship 2000 that I haven't found in other games is that once you've reached the rank of Lieutenant you get four AI wingmen to command to help you complete your missions. You choose who to promote, award medals to, etc. The game lets you rename them so you can put your friends in the game if you want. But be aware that they are at risk of becoming casualties of war just as you are. You also have several different kinds of helicopters to fly, not just the Apache. For what this lacks in fancy graphics and realistic sounds, it more than makes up for in playability. I bought this in 2025 and have had no issues with crashing or bugs.10 found this helpful
Gunship 2000 is one of the greatest helicopter games of all time, if not THE greatest. Gunship 2000 still, to this day, hasn't been surpassed in terms of missions, pilot progression, crew management, and more. The flight model and controls leave something to be desired, but everything else about the game still holds up.3 found this helpful
