Frostbyte 2 Engine betaphase

[kraf3k]

1% of graphics, 99% of fun. Well done commander!!!

[boringshi]

I've played this a million times ithout being able to land! Then again, I was 9 years old and didn't know any english!

[leroyrs]

The Amga Version was a lot better in Graphic and Sound.

[Lex5151]

Great demo - no voice used!

[rossidavid]

"Alte Zeiten" *heul*

[RogerHerhard]

looked so much better on the Amiga

[700gsteak]

This game was great. even the c:\retal brings back memories. What ever happened to Ocean. They were like the bomb of the day.

[Johnchuk3]

did you ever just fly into a town and just level everything?

[earthguardian2]

OMG TANKS DUDE MY CHILDHOOD MEMORY I WAS LIKE MABY 5 OR 7 WEN I PLAY THE GAME ON OLD PC

[fristytron]

OST of my childhood dreams!

[VANHELSING433]

These day's you're lucky if you get just a piece of paper giving you they keys and contact details in the packaging. What happened to all the maps, overlays and detailed maunulas or novella.

[EmphaticItalic]

Wow this is a game I played as a little kid but I totally forgot what the title was, after all these years I've finally found it again!

[farriss]

You can not imagine, how long and how many time I've played with this game. A true classic.

[DoubleXdragoN]

This was an amazing game back in the DOS era. Norton Commander was teh best "OS" ever. :DD

[SrNutritivo]

ooooooooooooohh... cuanto jugue a este juegoooo, pero es la primera vez q escucho la musica, por q no tenia tarjeta de sonido xD

[csigabajnok]

Exit to DOS?

NO!!!

[raffotirator]

ci giocavo sul 286...

[LukySKS]

wow tak tohle už jsem neviděl snad 15 let :D užasné

[saintalets]

q onda carnal,este juego fue el primero de jugar de mi infancia,se me habia olvidado el nombre y fue bueno encontrarlo de nuevo,tengo una lap de windows 7,si lo descargo no funcionaria verdad?

[luderpt]

@saintalets: si que funciona, con DosBox. Busca en Google.

[slimv29]

i wish the controls of all flight simulators were like that of f29 (especially the direction and turning keys), because the controls of games like flight simulator, etc. are too complicated on the keyboard, and not everyone likes to use a joystick or gamepad

[aure232]

first game i did play online. Using modems cause there was not internet yet...it was fun:)

[fisk0]

one of my favourite adlib soundtracks of all time, even though you only heard the music in the menus.

[JRCitrus]

Hey, I remember playing this game! I finally figured out how to land but I accidentally landed on an enemy airfield. So they terminated my service record because I "defected."

The music is cool though. Wonder if I can find it somewhere online.

[viciouswhips]

i would never remembered playin this game if it weren't for this upload!!

thanks zonithz

[stalkermonolith]

Thank you, man!

[noospaseisde]

The war is over

[MrZenithL]

I used to spend HOURS playing "Zulu Alert" in F29. Not until Ace Combat 4 did anything come close (basically, you vs. 30+ enemy jets, and unlimited missiles).

[MrZenithL]

Ahhh. My VERY first flight simulator. I have fond memories of this game and TFX, another flight-sim by Ocean. In fact I still play TFX from time to time.

By the way, does F29 Retal ends in nuclear war? I remember after the final mission, the screen shows a mushroom cloud in Moscow, and a line of caption saying "The war is won, but the world is lost". And you can no longer continue with that profile.

[Seretur00]

I've just found my old F29 manual :D

I am proud to having managed to land several times. In fact, we played with our cousin who made most close, dramatic or perfect landings :P

[vicemanFIN]

Does that plane have a diesel engine? :D

[alexandeur]

I still think this is the best aircraft simulator to date!!!

[720logan]

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OLDSCHOOL FEEELINGS!!!!!! did anyone ever made a landing in this game? i never got one down ;P

[JAhU00]

I managed to land once... by accident (I tried to repeat that but I failed).

[El3ctricFox]

@720logan

You need to make sure you keep your gear up whilst flying above about 300 knots or it gets destroyed - the indicator turns red on the panel. You can only land on green or yellow gear status.

Give it another go!

[vacinden]

This game is the reason I still use inverted mouse in first person shooters ^^

[OlegStrk]

Cooooooooooooooool.

My first simulator.

For ppls - use DOSBox program to launch it.

[deslegumes]

haha this is so cool!!

nice touch to include the C:\RETAL> prompt and then starting it with X which was kind of a cool name for the executable lol ;)

all the good memories :D

[dztrbk]

anyone know keyboard key to pull up gear???

[gerodinis]

Try pressing "G".

[dztrbk]

yea you right, thx...the manual sez the gear can be jammed at certain speed....

it seem the developer put lot of effort for this dos game...

[Kommodore]

pffffff.... qué nostalgia joder. Dios te bendiga por subir ésto. Horas, HORAS, y jugando dos jugadores mediante cable serie, con unos retrasos que te cagas... cómo disfrutábamos.

[ELMASCATUBE]

My favourite arcade simulator

[Thomsonicus]

Retaliator was the best!

[Ugleskjegg]

I remember i used to just take off, shoot every plane and building I came over, then either crash trying some fancy moves close to buildings, or just run out of fuel mid-air, because i didnt know how 2 land :P ( I was 8 or something tho)

[BigDuke6ixx]

I remember waiting for this game for ages only to be disappointed. I seem to remember there were bugs and it crashed a lot.

I was quite a lot to squeeze into the Amiga. I bought my first PC shortly afterwards and waited for Falcon 3 to come out.

[StegoMan]

Que de horas le dediqué al Retal en el 286 xD

[Jovian84]

this game was the shit!!

[CASPRPres]

Me and my friend used to play this head to head over our phone lines. Great memories!

[Taeket]

@CASPRPres

Same here! It was my very first on/line gameplay experience, on a 8400 baud modem or so! And that back in 1993, LOL

[CASPRPres]

@Taeket 8400 baud! LIGHTNING FAST! Did you ever play the text based games on local BBS sites such as Legend of the Red Dragon and Barren Realms Elite? I used to love that crap.

[Nkatsikanis]

can you play this online

[wickedwijn]

Good Landing. I always had a hard time landing the damn thing. Eventually I did manage to land it. Great game. You can play this game against eachother on a network. That's very cool.

[k0sm1k]

me encantaba este juego, lo jugaba muchisimo, la música es genial

[DRekkali]

This game was more or less the first publicization of what is to come out of the ongoing ATF project of the time.

[XaHyMaH]

Great game!

It used screen resolution 320x200!

No really - 320x200! My cell phone has more :)

P.S. I made this game to be launched from any directory not only from C:\retal

\m/ \m/

[vezzmon]

My God, it's F-29! I played that as a kid when I knew no word English and more or less had to guess what the tasks in the missions were...brings back great memories!

[orbanbalu]

Oh, yeah... best days of my life :D

[Nkatsikanis]

nostalga trip eh

[Pghpunkid]

I use to always do the testing missions and blow up the train, the city, and the other bases then eject when the fuel went away. lol

[hectiky]

I spent an unhealthy amount of time on this game when I was young. Landing was difficult, but I loved trying so much that I eventually could do it about 60-70% of the time.

Music and graphics were great!

[thrax777]

thats the F22 flying

[XabraXiss]

landing in this game was freakin crazy and hard, but I learnt how to do it. I was playing it two days ago on my old 486 :D but I couldnt land ;P FUCK ! :D

[andreir23]

I once managed to land the plane but it was NOT easy. Great memories, thank you!

[XabraXiss]

yea.thats right.that was one of the best games that time;)

[lokpoipiot]

compare this to ace combat

f29 is so sick 4 its time and has a great storyline and music

10/10

[lokpoipiot]

grew up on this game

[XabraXiss]

I love this music

[figamarsa]

Non sono mai riuscito ad atterrare con questo gioco: mi schiantavo sempre

[p4trykx]

I remember playing it on my 486. I dind't know english then, so it was hard to understand what I have to do. I have never landed :( Maybe now I'll try to do it.

[rabbeat68]

same as me

[mobius1aic]

LOL I had this, it was awesome for it's time :D

[holoduke51a]

very nice game, my first multiplayer game :)

[josenrikex]

Pase todas mis vacaciones de 4 meses en Peru jugando este juego sin duda uno de los mejores que he jugado. Me emocionaba jugando y escuchando Mana, jaja Que tiempos!! Mi nick era CARNE MOLIDA

[fristytron]

bua tio, te lo has currao un monton, hasta la shell de dos,.. x hahaha la intro,. todo, felicidades x el montaje,. tuve que esperar a comprarme un 386 para este pedazo de juego pq en el philips a 8mhz no funcionaba., saludos

[zonithz]

Gracias. Muchas horas pase con este fantastico simulador. Y como yo, tu... y otros mucho. Saludos

[fristytron]

x cierto, como has capturado las imagenes?? me encantaria hacer pruebas con eso

[zonithz]

Buf. No recuerdo el nombre del programa. Lo perdi cuando formatee el disco duro y no hice copia de seguridad. Pero mira a ver por ahi algun programa capturador de video. Hay muchos que te permiten capturar todo lo que se ve en pantalla. Son muy sencillos de usar y de conseguir.

[3nzoBocoti]

This game was my first simulator on my old 486. But I never, never land :))

[K7foeva]

THE F22 DOES NOT LOOKLIKE THAT!!! =.=

[343Kintaro]

And ? The F-29 was fictional plane invented for the game...

[ghost65]

The game came out in 1991, they didn't know how the F-22 looked like.

[SturmvogelPrime]

That F-22 was a concept design, and the F-29 is the Northrop Grumman X-29, a Swept-Forward Wing version of the F-20

[DRekkali]

that f-22 should be the vastly advanced(and even more expensive)proposed naval version, if I remember correctly. It never got out of the drawing board.

[isthisnicktaken]

man that music is like a time machine! it's been in my mind all this time. loved that game. old school again haha

[chrst89]

Oh man I remember playing this on my grandpas old 3.11 computer <3

[Thorgin84]

Oh yeah. THIS is a game I played ALOT. I loved this game and played for hours on my dads cool supercomputer, a 25 mhz PC with 85MB HDD and he later added 2MB RAM and in 1995 even a Soundblaster compatible soundboard. That was the stuff back then. As for the game I loved it though at first I had a little trouble getting off the ground. lol I usually just pressed 6 which, if I remember correctly, was "Scramble". It brings back memories though I last played it about 2 years ago or so.

[Hokartum]

Great game. It was my first game, when dad bought IBM PC 33mhz back in 1993 or 94. IMHO Pacific campaign is the best. To fisk0- i also recorded it on tape. The music is cool!

[fisk0]

I love this game, got it on CD-Rom in the 90's.

The music is some of the best ever made on an FM chip in my opinion. I recorded it on tape just so I could listen to it wherever I was. :)

[frytko]

in this game i liked to land like a helicopter, (with 0 speed) :) thae best was playing thru serial port. my first multiplayer game

[azzurogialle]

Such a cool game, so long time ago... I remember landing was nearly impossible.:)

Thanks for this

[hyssp]

Siempre pense que lo de aterrizar era un mito!! Buen video! :)

[betoliderbravo]

Lo mismo pensaba yo, solo en una ocasion pude lograrlo (no pense que lo lograria), para poder ganar la mision tenia que recurrir al sacrificio de la nave, permitiendo que el ultimo enemigo me ocasionara daños que aseguraran el colapso del avion, y con el ultimo respiro de mi nave tenia que destruir a este ultimo enemigo. Acabo de descargar el juego y tendre que desempolvar mi 486 para revivir la accion

[Mrisviz]

Thank you so much for returning me to that good-old times!

[messerschmitt109G]

buenos tiempos, buenos juegos =)

[mtfr]

This game was so cool. Great job.

[Tuckie]

Otiaaa!!! Qué tiempos, qué recuerdosss!!! Genial!

[wailshire]

nice =D this games roxs
