F-16 Falcon Strike - An updated flight simulator for the Atari XL/XE by Jarosław 'Roeoender' Wosik

I hardly ever feature flight simulators here on Indie Retro News. It's not as if I don't want to, but the chances of a developer releasing a new flight sim for a retro system is very rare. Today's news however is pretty special. As not only is it flight simulator related, but a creator by the name of Jarosław 'Roeoender' Wosik has released an update to his Atari XL/XE game of ' F-16 Falcon Strike '. As in his words "homage to the golden era of 80/90's computer combat flight simulators". To coincide with this news, we've got some footage of this rather cool game below.

Sky-Rogue - Impressive action flight sim that reaches Alpha!

Game Genre : Action, Flight Sim
Developer : Nhilocrat
Game Info : I don't usually use the word impressive very often, but this game (Sky-Rogue) even in Alpha state fits that description. A real mix of Top gun and Sky fox with it's 3D graphics, and locking on to enemies with full fire power in effect. To add to that, the islands are procedurally-generated which means they are never the same and neither are the placed structures, for which you need to destroy. So head on over to the download links and destroy everything!

Release : Now (Alpha), Free (Donations Accepted)

Systems : PC, Mac, Linux
