Hey friends, welcome to this episode of Retro Dogfight! In this episode, we’ll continue our MicroProse lovefest by looking at three early MicroProse classics, including:
These games are much beloved, early entries in MicroProse’s classic catalog, but were they beloved by us? You’ll have to listen to find out! 
Hint: Maybe yes, maybe no!
Next time, we’ll continue our look at some earlier MicroProse titles — and some of my personal favorites — F-19 Stealth Fighter and F-117A Nighthawk: Stealth Fighter 2.0! I am particularly excited about this because F-19 is a seminal flight sim of mine. I just cannot wait to talk about these games!
So, thank you so much for listening, and enjoy the show!!
