I *think* this was the second PC game i ever bought, and certainly my first flight 'sim'

Crimson Skies is a arcade flight computer game developed by Zipper Interactive and published in 2000 by Microsoft Game Studios. Although a flight-based game, Crimson Skies is not a genuine flight simulator, as the game is based less on flight mechanics than on action. According to series creator Jordan Weisman, Crimson Skies is "not about simulating reality—it's about fulfilling fantasies."[1]

The game is set in an alternate history of the 1930s in which the United States has balkanized into a number of smaller sovereignties, and in which air travel has become the primary mode of transportation in North America. The game centers around Nathan Zachary, an adventurous air pirate seeking to rob the affluent of their wealth and power.[3] Throughout the campaign, Zachary leads his gang of air pirates, the Fortune Hunters, on a quest to gain fame and fortune.

Crimson Skies is often regarded as a "cult success," commercially successful only to a limited extent. The game has received generally favorable reviews; it has been noted for its high-quality voice acting, gameplay, and atmosphere.

Mine was Doom, then Quake and Red Alert. MechWarrior 2 was in there at some point too.

That game was so über-awesome.

You forgot to mention the cool characters and the funny and motivating storyline! I still have the photos you get taken, when doing the various stunts during the missions on my other machine

Will upload them once I get the time!

Haha, yeah. You had to "infiltrate" the compound by pretending to be a stuntpilot of the crew filming there. Gave me quite the rages back then, cause some of the stunts were jsut INSANE!

I´m at work now though, so no pics until tomorrow morning. Can´t wait!
