TFX - Tactical Fighter Experiment (DOS) (theme+gameplay)

Old DOS Game. The main theme runs about 4 mins, so I sit on the main menu till 4:11... then I play arcade for a bit (and suck at it)...

It's not just you. If you think about it, this game has far more to offer than, for example, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. Newer games generally only win in graphics and sound department (obviously), but in terms of ideas and originality, games like TFX or Deus Ex or Fallout or Alone In The Dark (the first one from 1992) are on the same level (or even better) than today's high budget titles.

@komepollass I was also ejecting on low altitude :)

There had been some radio transmissions in TFX that I wasn't able understand for years. Using DosBOX's audio capture feature, I transcribed and put them on my site. Go to zekienesakkan d.o.t com and in the left menu, click "Blog in English." There you can read all of the voice effects used in TFX.

Ah man, happy happy memories if this game, I spent hours and hours playing it, pitty there isn't anythiing like it now.

[komepollass]

fucking hell,...my student times!. used to play this for hours and hours on my flatmate's 486. When you ejected at low altitude you could see your body splattered with blood. we used to position just underneath the refuelling tanker and eject against it. class.

oh yeah, laserguided bombs with camera view... and the awesome cruisermissiles :D

Also, did anybody else get bored and just fly straight down at the runway, eject at the last second, and splatter all over the pavement?

I haven't seen an air sim do that since. I want a modern air sim to have that rendered in game, where you eject and splatter on the ground in a big red smear. Your head should also pop off and fly a few meters. Make it a mini-game to see whose head gets the best roll distance.
