There is certain charm in some “ancient” video games. They make you go a trip back in time where the graphics, and the gameplay were very “archaic” for today’s standards but still manage to be fun and entertaining. 

One of those game I found out about thanks to the suggestion of a viewer on Instagram is F-14 Tomcat, a combat flight simulation video game for the MSDOS platform released in 1989, or 1990 according to some sources.

There is also an older version of the game released in 1988 for the Commodore 64 but I haven’t tried it yet.
