Welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight, my friends! Today we’re talking about two classic MicroProse sims that are near and dear to my heart:
F-19 was a seminal flight sim for me personally, as it was the first combat-oriented flight sim I ever purchased, and played it for years after its release. It honestly spoiled me for combat flight sims going forward. Its sequel/remake/refresh, F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0, came out three years later, in 1991, and I skipped it back in the day, because I figured, I had F-19, why did I need this?
That was a mistake on my part.
Tune in to find out whether these sims still hold up, and how my co-hosts felt about them in this fun, lively episode.
Next time, we’ll discuss the legendary Amiga sim, F/A-18 Interceptor! Thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show!

Ha! F/A-18 Interceptor popped my cherry, too! Can’t wait to hear how many times you guys tried to land in an “orderly fashion” on that bloody deck! Great episode! Can’t wait for the next!
Thank you for listening! And yeah, landings were the bane of my brief existence with F/A-18 Interceptor! Can’t wait for you to hear the episode come this Saturday!
