Janes combat simulation USNF 97 Intro

[dy031101]

I had ATF and USNF before. After both CDs were trashed in an accident I bought Fighters Anthology as a replacement.

I remember downloading Lib files to make non-playable aircraft behave more realistically in game.  Which leads to one of my gripes about Jane's back then- their knowledge on armed development outside of North American and European continents was very lacking.

Anyway, for playable aircraft it was pretty intense. I learned to love the F-14, X-31, and AC-130 thanks to those games.

[aleejacopo]

I was 7 yo, I love that game. My 1st combat simulation computer game, omg I'm gonna cry.

What's the name of the video song? I love it.

[timrocket2]

i dont know if kids play stuff like this anymore, i learnt so much about planes, dinosaurs, music, stories, history etc from games

[TypeRSXdc5]

WOW! does this bring back memories or what! This and Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator were some of the first games I ever played as a kid, my dad had the joystick and everything.

[lonewolfsx29]

This was an incredible game. I miss the depth this had, the manual is like a book, I still have it. haha you know how old this is when they show Corsair II's taking off from the carrier!

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

Hooooooly shit I just nostalgia'd hard enough to shatter the earth. This game was like my life when I was 2-4 yes, two to four.

[jafri]

I've played Advanced Tactical Fighters GOLD edition all the time when I was 12 & I've never forget with this signature Intro sequence.

[KickboxerKyo1]

Authentic 90s TOPGUN video game FTW!!!

[argebarse]

Bring the graphics up to date, make it playable with a console controller, it would be an instant hit.

[PowerMailDoomguy]

Sorry, but that's the best I've got. We got Anthology and the Navy pack, but that's it. It might've been '94, but I'm not the guy to ask.

[routhoula]

wasnt this game part of an old game bundle or was it the previous one? can anyone confirm??????

[PowerMailDoomguy]

@routhoula The game was included in Janes Fighters Anthology, if that's what you're asking.

[routhoula]

@PowerMailDoomguy no, no, no. usnf was the only game of its type in the bundle

[PowerMailDoomguy]

@routhoula I got one that was USNF, 688(i) (Submarine game) and Fleet Command. Maybe?

[routhoula]

@PowerMailDoomguy nope. to be more specific, the bundle was in a medium sized rectangular box, the boxart had an aircraft carrier and some other games art(but the carrier was bigger and in the epicenter of the box art) and the games were of different theme and setting(i cant remember since none worked in my pc at the time) there had to be some arcade games. i remember one cd's art, it had some sort of a hero on a jetpack carrying a girl with his one hand and shooting baddies with the other.

[PowerMailDoomguy]

@routhoula Sorry, meant to respond. Anyway, got the navy pack and Anthology, but other than that, I wouldn't know.

[hekikuu]

I miss this game so bad. Thx so much for this upload!

[aleejacopo]

song name? i love it

[aleejacopo]

i loved this game :D

[wkeil1981]

wow i remember this

[Reddaytonadog]

@wkeil1981 I think about it when I play NASCAR '09, as well as the Vietnam intro, although I only listen to it during the Chase For the Cup.

[timrocket007]

glad i knew how to fly a virtual ac130 gunship 10-13 years before everyone else :D

[raghavaj]

@timrocket007 lol same here. a year ago, noone knew what an AC130 was until Modern Warfare 2 came out.

ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!!!!

[timrocket007]

i remember going to a shop with my dad and buying this when i was young

i learned soo much from this

[Tipotero]

amazing game, great intro

[VO9BuckSMan48]

Okay listen in my opinion These games were the games that whould teach kids some skills I still think the games now like Modern Warefare or Battlefeild bad company are cool but atleat bring this back so our kids could learn somthing that can be used in life I LOVE PLANES and HELICOPTERS!!!! I just hope they bring it back... : ) P.S: Anyone know how to make this game work on Windowss XP.

[dschappel]

@VO9BuckSMan48 Technically yes effectivially no. You would just install it like normal and apply the patch. But modern processors are so fast that even running them on slow and max graphics, night or fog fights are madness. (gauges blur so bad you can't read them)

[jbitar]

mannnnn i loved this

[abooco]

EA Please bring back these games!!  They were awesome! I spent hours playing these games.

[wakinom]

but landing on a carrier is weird in this series

[wakinom]

He He, I'm actually playing it right now :-)

it has a certain charm :-)

[hmn88]

Try FSX lol

[hmn88]

reminds me of the old days!

[createwithnate]

man this game was bad ass! I remember flying the huge bug, the moth.

[thefarsiders]

what is the song called

[timrocket007]

my first game my dad bought me :)

now im a gamer

[principalsuspeito]

Here goes a tip:

Press CTRL + ALT in the quick mission screen before select a plane, and you´ll be able to fly any plane in the game including F-15, TU-160, Mig-29 and so along.

[trainamtrakcsx]

it really works i just tried it

[Bimo165]

one of the most awesome game in 97!!

[McFlanker]

I remeber I loved this game as a kid. One of my first...Thanks for posting this vid OP!

[salilbibikar]

nice track!! brings back a lot of old memories to life

[RafaleC77th]

I still fly this game with my buds

[teamtrex]

This brings back so much memories. Man my first PC intel 166

[pitot1988]

Does this one let you fly the Harrier?

[CyDaSnake]

I think so, an AV-8B or Sea Harrier I think, I'm not sure if this game allowed you to use its VTOL abilities though, in ATF and FA you could.

[AlexisVGR]

Yes, there were both the AV-8B and Sea Harrier, with VTOL capability.

[spins321]

That was US Marine Fighters, which was an addon to this.

[RLtW88]

Yes, the USMC AV8B and the RAF/RN model.

[discovery531]

holy $#!t, the jane's intro make my memory back to my child age!

Nice Vid!

[Stickleader]

This game was my fav back in the 90s. These cames are way better than the games back then. They were more fun as a game than just as a product to be sold.

[soundlikeFabian]

I have installed it yesterday and i play it the whole day today^^ my favorite was and is the Hornet...and the Tomcat

[pcxt21]

Man, this game was sweet! I really miss Flight Sims like this on PC....

[cs512tr]

USNF was and still is awesome!

just good old fun.

the tomcat will always be my fav :)

[soundlikeFabian]

I played it every in the time i was 6 or 7 and I loved it, it was my first cimputergame and my father buyed it for me!! one of the best games for all times^^

[principalsuspeito]

"Easy up on the stick..."

"hugbluaaaahh..."

[1olofpet88]

Whoa... this was the best game I ever had. Sadly it started quitting itself every time I tried to play it after a while, otherwise I might still be playing it. But in my version of the game, a trumpet song followed after this intro. Wonder if I could find it on youtube...

[criminalgboro]

feel you bro ive had the game for about 7 years and it got scratched

[Yodan82]

I had the same problem. It was like a part of me died..

[ijow416se]

ho..ho..thx bro !

[GyroShock]

Really brings back good memories!!!!!!

[tombombadil117]

Yeah---i played this game for so long time. There was another intro too...i liked it more...but nice to this vid too

[BerwickonTweed]

lol when i was 8 all i played was flight simulator games like these janes combat simulation ones were the best ones.

[bstep13]

i loved this game it was great.

[Fastweb]

This brings back memories. I loved this game. I later upgraded to Jane's Fighters Anthology which included this game. I still have it but I dunno if it'll run on modern tech. I used to play with a friend. He'd control the joystick and I'd be his "RIO" controlling the keyboard, because let's be honest: The keyboard had many commands that are difficult for an amateur to understand immediately. He'd fly the plane and fire ammo. I'd do everything else. LOL!

[TheRealDonDado]

Did jane's realesed some new games lately?

&, can someone recommend on a good flight/combat sim.

[nubbie1944]

Janes don't make games anymore sadly.

[tehblizz]

Wonder why they don't make good games like this anymore.. all of the air combat games are 'arcade' like, this one here was far more realistic.. bring back the good games!!

[vraddrag]

you are nuts! this is my all favorite game! how'd you take the intro???

thanks for posting!!! it's been more than ten years since the last time i played this game and hearing the intro

[USARMz]

omg, the same for me. I used to love this game but then it broke and i couldn't play it anymore. The best game i ever had!

[mato911]

good old clasic

[gothicjak]

I just loaded it up on my new vista machine...it runs pretty well. The real fun was that my Brother in Law and I would do a direct long distance telephone connection and dogfight each other..great times, but the long distance bills back in '97 were a bit more than they are now!

[gothicjak]

To those who know gothicjak, this is her father inadvertantly posting the preceding (and this) comment under her name.

[vraddrag]

so?

[change0fmind]

i miss this game

[shanghaiwolf]

I broke my teeth on this game back in the day. Best gunfighter in the digital sky given my age back then.

All of Jane's Rock.

[MageofDarkness1984]

Splash ooone. Foxhouunndd

He is breaking up

Punching Out

Ejecting

[Toksin]

Thanks for posting this video, brought back some awesome memories!

[principalsuspeito]

the hardest mission on this game is called "Sky Terror" on the Kuril Islands campaing, I guess.

[timrocket007]

i had this game since i was 4 it is soo cool

[cpang618]

"Fox 3!"

[Stickleader]

Good times. good times. I love this game!

[principalsuspeito]

Well, EA doesn´t release this game anymore, and I could find it for sale around here, in Brazil.

[chug26]

what do u mean lol

[principalsuspeito]

I was 25 when purchased this game, and played it at least two hours a day, for years. My wife use to say: "hey, are you having it with this toy ??? How about me ?"

[chug26]

Yea i got this game when i was like 8 lol now im 15 and i still have it somewhere in my house lol

[principalsuspeito]

ok, and let´s do business if you find it, then !

[Brink0War]

at that time, this was the best graphics ever! I remember getting this game when I was 6. i loved it so much!

[goofyengineer]

I've been searching since forever for the copyright holders to that piece of music. Anyone have any ideas? Bingham Entertainment is listed as the reference video production, but from what I gather they are long gone.

[cjayie]

"Good morning folks, and welcome, to the Black Sea."

[Korrix]

Nice! First game intro that stuck to my memory :) Also the first game that lead me into simulators in the first place...

[JonisKanonis]

Same for me!!!!!

[tundma]

fuckin A!!

[pizzajiffy]

Now that I look back at that game, I relize that it is out of date but still kind of cool. Jane's would make a ton selling semi-realistic games for newer gaming systems. Too bad Jane's shut down.

[formuna101]

I Still Play This :D

[pizzajiffy]

Sometimes this game is fun but other times it's like "Oh look. Here comes some Migs. Fire the sidewinders. Shoot the cannons. Well look they're all down. Time to do another mission." See what I mean. It's fun to take out every six months but in my opinian. Everything beyond that gets boring.

[PeteAUT]

OMG ... i have to search for my CD ... i want to play it again :D

[BINLADENINDAHOUSE]

ohhh I didn´t rememberthx

[slavar]

Realy thank you for adding this video here...great intro for great game

[pizzajiffy]

You can say that again.
