I played this with my then 70 year old grandfather (now older but still playing games!) and eventually with my siblings and my father on LAN. We had such great time, and it really felt realistic and cosy with the model-sized aircrafts. Reviving this game would give me something to share with them once again, and even later on to my son.
I remember this one came with one of those old magazines that came with a CD with the full game, and I spent many, many hours flying around the game house while simulating battles from World War II, with weapons that obviously didn't exist like lasers and weapons that shot rays, defeating a zeppelin in the last Allied battle and an aircraft carrier in the last Axis battle, and after that going on to destroy even more enemies in the create map mode, and always avoiding fire. It would be a great addition to the GOG catalog.
Used to play it with my two sons growing up, great times and great memories that became part of God's blessing in great relationships now that they are in their twenties with their own families 🙌. GoG, please add this to your catalog so my grandsons can enjoy it with their Dads 😊
Great flight combat game with arcade flight model and a ton of crazy weapons allowing the pilot of little WW2 resin plane to wreak havoc on your enemies as well as home owner's chinaware. Both sides of conflict have their own set of campaign missions which in my opinion are very creative and brought me lots of fun.
As a 10 year old, who had just got access to a (non-DOS) PC, and who built Airfix with my grandad and Papa, this was the absolute peak of what I wanted to play.
Would love to see a remaster of this game, but I’d be first in the queue if this appeared on gog
One of those games you always think back to. Every time I see a model plane or a toy plane anywhere, I just imagine again how amazing that game was.
A simple but brilliant game.

Total Immersion RacingTotal Immersion Racing is a bare-bones rendition of Gran Turismo 3 or Sega GT 2002, albeit without the preponderance of cars and special effects. What's left over is a driving simulation that offers the rich gameplay of these heavy hitters, as well as a graphical show that's nearly on par with them, but none of the frills or splash that would attract casual players in search of a vicarious speed rush. It's a game for people who want to discover what the weekly toil of GT-class competition is really like, who understand that actual racing often entails driving around the same course lap after lap without much fear of hazards or obstacles, and who don't mind that the ultimate reward is the ability to drive a handful of different cars for various teams on tracks located throughout the world.
Classic Car RacingClassic Car Racing lets the player race classic retro automobiles from the 40's to the 60's in colourful summer environments. The game can be played in both arcade and simulator modes depending on the experience of the player. The game features a career mode where the player get to compete over several races that add up to overall standings.
The player can race with fourteen different cars although only five of these are available from the start. By performing well the player earns money which he can use to buy the other more expensive cars. Money can also be used to customize the cars. The game features a virtual shop where the player can buy spare parts. The parts that can be upgraded are engine, suspension, brakes, transmission, body, tyres and paints. There's a number of tweaking options for the cars. The player can choose different setting for suspension height and stiffness, brake application effort and bias, steering angle, gear ratio as well as automatic, semi-automatic or manual gearbox.
Once in the driver seat, the player controls his cars from a third person perspective. To his help the interface features information about his current status in the race such as speed, gear and position. As the player progresses he earns bonus points which are converted into money. It's also possible to drift which there also is a bonus point award for. The player can also see what components of his car are damaged. To much damage and he might not be able to complete the race. Each race is against three AI controlled racers and all of the routes are located in sunny and colourful environments often close to the sea where lightly clad sun bathers cheer on the drivers.Comedy

Hot WheelsHot Wheels is a licensed title based on the toy cars from Mattel and attempts to recreate the playing of toy cars. You start in a car showroom with different types of model cars but if they aren't to your taste then you can design and build your own. Once you are happy with your new car it's time to go to the Paint Shop and select a colour before driving out of the showroom and driving it through town.
You view your car from the side at a slight elevated angle and you can drive it to the right or left along the road. To change direction you have to pull into a opening and reverse out in the new direction. The town itself is split into two parts and they are connected by an Expressway where you watch a small animated piece of your car driving along the road. Each part of town is made up of various buildings and some buildings can be drove into to either keep your car running smoothly or participate in various mini games. The buildings you encounter are:
Car Wash: You just watch your car going through the various stages of a car wash.
Gas Station: You control the mechanic and you can fill the car up with gas and check the tyre pressures.
Tuning: Here you watch your car having the engine tuned.
Oil Change: You control another mechanic and once you raised the car you must move a drum below the car and try to catch all the drops of oil dripping from the car without making a mess. Once the engine is empty you can fill the car with oil.
Demolition Derby: You view a square track from above with the whole track on screen as you drive around the track. You attempt to smash the other cars to destroy them while avoiding being smashed yourself.
Firefighting. Pulling into the fire station allows you to drive a fire engine along the road looking for any buildings on fire. Once you find a burning building you must park beside a fire hydrant. When you are in the correct position a hose appears. You move the hose around and attempt to put out the fire. Take too long and the building will burn down.Kids
