I see this title is on sale, so I thought I'd update my review. The description does not make it clear that the game runs in DOSBox. Hell, it recommends Win 10 and a 1.8 GHz CPU. This is the original game and does not need that much power. I don't have a working flight stick at the moment, and was hoping the game would run with the Steam Controller. I messed around for a bit, but didn't get it working satisfactorily. You may have some luck with Steam Controller with the following instructions. Thanks kalirion. Steam Controller for DOSBox: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353370/discussions/0/490123197951615840/ Can be mapped as keyboard+mouse. I have DOSBox, and run plenty of old software with it. For this game, the Amiga version was vastly superior. If I going to have to mess around with an emulator, I'll go for Amiga. On Steam, I was looking for a quick and easy way to replay a game from my youth, without having to put a lot of effort into getting it running. So, for that reaso...

An iconic, classic flight sim. Steam version. Unplayable. Too fast and no command list. Easy enough for the publisher to fix though... --/o\-- SPEED --/o\-- It needs to run at the correct speed. The DOSBOX clock is set at 3000hz, which may look right on paper, but the sim runs at a fantastically unplayable tempo. I get it, they calculated that about 40fps would be nice... but the sim was designed to run at somewhere between 2-5 fps, from memory (hey, it was 30 years ago!) --/o\-- MANUAL --/o\-- Manuals and key commands need to be included (they are not). Falcon has about 50 commands, so, good luck at guessing those! // And the price... $9.95? I bought MiG-29 Fulcrum, a sophisticated 3DFX 1998 sim, at Steam for $3.95. IMO $1.95, an impulse buy price would be right for this release. --/o\-- EDIT --/o\-- You can get it as part of Buy Falcon Collection: Includes 4 items: Falcon, Falcon 4.0, Falcon A.T., Falcon Gold for $AUD $14.95
Needs a proper remake.
