The missions provide dogfights and bridge bombings and they are designed for successive play, so anything you achieve on a previous mission will influence the outcome of any upcoming attempt! What is your final goal? Total destruction of highlighted ground targets and -of course- enemy MIGs! The ground targets vary from tanks, trains, amphibious landing crafts, trucks, bridges and ground-to-air missile sites! Sometimes the opposing jets make some very cool maneuvers while your plane's electronic displays and radars resemble the real thing with great success, giving you 4 different styles of HUD (Head Up Display). It's an authentic flight simulator and offers everything a player wanted to experience to its fullest, back in the days! So many players have invested plenty of flying hours (like me!) playing it. It was my first encounter with such a security system and got me really interested in reverse engineering, which got me interested in understanding how programs worked.STORY / GAMEPLAY Falcon is the first and one of the best combat flight simulators I have ever played on the 16bit home computers. within a couple days we had transcribed most of the answers. Of course, that sucked so every time it'd ask a question we started taking notes and finding the answer from the awesome in-game plane database next time I got it to run. To start the game, I'd have to restart it a bunch of times until it asked me that specific question. I don't know if you recall, but the system worked by asking you a random question from the user manual ('what is the altitude ceiling for the MIG-15?', 'what is the maximum speed for the B-29 bomber?', etc.) My friend knew only one of the answers, which he wrote on a piece of paper for me. Growing up in Latin America getting legit games wasn't really a thing (both because of cost, but also availability), so I remember getting a copy of that game from a friend, who had copied it from a friend, etc. One of my favorite memories about that game was having to reverse engineer their anti-copying system.
