Microprose Fleet Defender Gold-F14 Tomcat Sim,
By Choctaw One "Choc" (Arizona) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Fleet Defender: the F-14 Tomcat Simulation (3.5" disk)
Crying shame Microprose can't/won't upgrade to run this on newer Windows! I keep an old IBM DOS PC to run it! It's the greatest fighter sim ever. I'll bet, with upgraded graphics etc. to modern specs it would sell rapidly for $75 to $100. I know I'd buy it again! The radar backseat and weapons are awsome. Not to mention the realistic night time carrier landings. Plus the "Sissy" mode for non-pro fighter pilots. The absolute greatest ever Flight Sim. Where are you Microprose?...get busy with an upgrade!!!

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Fleet Defender: the F-14 Tomcat Simulation (3.5" disk)
I got this game 10 years ago for my then top of the line computer. I play it even to this day on windows XP, even though the sound doesn't work. It is a fine game, and its level of accuracy and realism is yet to be matched in a combat flight sim. Good job by the guys at MicroProse labs!
*Recently, I found a DOS emulator for XP that allows FD to run with sound. I'm still tweaking it but it's pretty amazing.

This review is from: Fleet Defender: the F-14 Tomcat Simulation (3.5" disk)
I started playing this game again about a week ago, I'm using Windows XP SP2. I got Gold Edition back in 95 when I got my first computer, a Compaq 486 DX2/66. I'm using a program called VDMSound to run it, the only issues I've had are sometimes the mouse will only move within the left hand side of the screen. Once you try and move it to the right half, it acts like it's up against the side of the monitor, which makes TWSM mode impossible to use since you can't get to the Highlight or Designate target buttons under the TID. Also, I had to map the - and = keys to the buttons beside the throttle on my stick, since I haven't been able to find a way to get the throttle to work. I got used to hitting a button for up and down on the throttle pretty quick anyway, so no big deal. Other than having to use buttons for the throttle and the occasional mouse problem, the game runs great. I'm surprised at how quick I was able to remember all the commands and stuff, but I guess I did spend a TON of time playing this after it came out. Plus I'm a waaaaaay better 'pilot' than I was as a kid, I now know a lot more about ACM tactics so it's a lot less deadly if any bandits get in close. I'm a Tomcat nut so I'll put up with the graphics, which really aren't that bad since the game's so fun.
