BelatedGamer: Hey guys thanks for reading.
I'm looking for a flight game where you have the ability to eject from / land your craft and walk around. I don't care if it's a contemporary flight sim or a futuristic one, and I don't care whether it's arcade-y or realistic or even a good game.
I do however have three caveats;
1) It must primarily be a flight game -- not a game where flying is a secondary means of travel.
2) The ability to switch between ground and air should be an element of gameplay -- so games where ground missions and air missions are separate are out.
3 The game world can't be randomly generated. Nothing like No Man's Sky or Minecraft or Notcis.
I've found games that match a few of these criteria, but none with all three. The closest thing I can think of is the old Mercenary trilogy that started in 1985, and even that's a stretch. Something like Rogue Squadron except where you can organically land your ship would be ideal.
So yeah, anyone know of anything? I'd appreciate the help, this is something that's been bugging me for awhile.
This is the second time I am posting this. For some reason my previous doesn't appear.
A game such as the one you are looking for is called Acrobatic Dog-Fight, a mid 1980s arcade game. You fly a WWII -ish plane and you try to reach the end of the game, you fight enemy planes, flying cats, balloons with witches, and of course alien spaceships. You can at will eject from your plane, to grab a nearby enemy plane in case you want to or in case your plane is damaged. You can eject and use your parachute to land and grab another proper (your army) plane. Of course you have to be careful as an enemy dragon can and will burst through the ground to try to get you before you get on your plane.
I know the game because I played it a lot in the mid 80s and it is one of the few I actually finished.
