Hello, my friends, and welcome to the second episode of Retro Dogfight! This week, based on an idea from Denny, we’re jumping a little bit out of order — as I hope to typically keep things chronological for my own sanity — and coming in hot with a look at some of the most beloved classic games in the genre: The World War II sims by Lucasfilm. Specifically:
In which I make a daring — and admittedly somewhat embarrassing — confession regarding these games. We had a very, very fun time talking about these old sims, and we hope you’ll have fun listening!
Next time we’re going back to the very beginnings of the genre with some very, very old text-based flight games, specifically B-1 Nuclear Bomber, Computer Air Combat, and Eagles!
Thank you so much for listening, and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them in the comments below, use our contact form to get in touch, or join the Discord! We’ll see you next time, my friends, and until then, keep checking your six!

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
