Gunship 2000
It was one of my favorite DOS games. Makes me wonder if I still have a copy around here, as I wouldn't mind playing it again. For the time the graphics were decent. Pretty easy if you keep low and use hell fire rockets. Can blow up animals and ships and stuff too. Download and play it.

The successor to Gunship, it really isn't as recent as the name suggests, but rather a 1993 implementation of the Gunship concept. You get some VGA graphics, which are much better than those in the original, and decent sound. You have 2 campaigns to fight, flying around in helicopters ranging from feeble MD500s to Apaches and Comanches. The Islands & Ice addon gives you another campaign and some new stuff to blow up (or be blown up with). Flight modelling is decent, but not very realistic, portraying some characteristics of helicopter flight. There?s a large array of weapons at your finger?s disposal, ready to relocate parts of the surrounding landscape. Avionics modelling isn?t really realistic, but will do. What this game has for it is playability, some decent graphics and unusual choppers (MD500 and Blackhawk). Recent similar games include Longbow 2 (which is still the best helicopter sim bar none, good for both novices and experts alike), and Apache vs Havoc.
