Set during the Korean War, MiG Alley is a release from Rowan Software, creators of Flying Corps. MiG Alley is an interactive campaign-based flight simulation, with the option of instant action in minicampaigns, single historical missions, and head-to-head play.

MiG Alley includes the world's first and largest jet-to-jet dogfights, with over 50 aircraft in the sky at any one time. And you can fly any of the following aircraft, all with accurate flight models: F86 Sabre (the ultimate dogfighter), F84 Thunderjet (long-range strike and escort jet), F80 Shooting Star (ground-attack and fighter-jet aircraft), P51 Mustang (classic World War II propeller aircraft, serving as a ground-attack aircraft), and MiG15 and MiG15 bis (the fighter that nearly drove the UN air force from Korean skies). Other aircraft appearing in the game include the B29 Super fortress, Meteor, F9 Panther, A1Skyraider, YAK piston-engine fighter, and many others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Last of the real dogfights!, January 13, 2000

This review is from: MiG Alley (CD-ROM)

If you are a fan of the Air campaign over Korea then this is a must have! Mig Alley accurately depicts how chaotic and close the air combat was. The campaigns are robust in that you can control not only your flight but other units that can affect the outcome of the war. It takes time to learn how to do it but it is worth it. I wish there was more medals and stuff in the campaign. The graphics rock, but you need a PC that can take it, what else is new. Yanking and Banking in this sim is not easy because spins can happen at a moments notice. Once you get the hang of it though there is nothing cooler than watching a Mig-15 burst into a fireball! One draw back is that you can't be Mig in a campaign, but you can fly single missions in one.

All in all this Sim is well worth your hard earned $$$$.

I highly recommend this outstanding flight sim. Its only problem is mulitplay which needs some work, however the rest of the sim more than makes up for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fighter sim, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: MiG Alley (CD-ROM)

As a trainee fighter pilot I think this is really the most realistic game I have played. Although the game is very limited, for instance in the number of exercises that can be carried out, I have still found it very usefull. The games biggest plus is the detailed map, that when printed out allows you to fly low level tatical navs using roads ,rivers etc. No game including Falcon 4 does this as well. This game with its excellent flight model is also great for ACM. Especially as it teaches you alot about energy management ( which is essential in a low power fighter ). Once again its a great pity is it doesn't allow more options ex 2v1 & 2v2 setups. Even with all its limitations its a must for any aspiring fighter pilot.
