Stunts (1990, DOS) is what has stayed with me the most. Crappy graphics, unrealistic controls even for its time, buggy physics (a wrong move could launch you into the stratosphere) but for some reason we stayed up all night taking turns trying to shave one more second off the lap record on our favorite track.
This was the first Flight Simulator I played with an analogue stick. This blew my mind and I had to have a PC! I only used digital Joysticks up until then.

Oh yes!! I immideatly thought of this game, but couldn’t remember the name. Maybe one of my most played game…
And you also could design your own tracks!
Did you ever play Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat? That was the flight sim of the same era that gave me similar vibes.
No, I never heard of that game…
But some time later I got a new PC with a CD Rom drive and with it came Need for Speed 3 (I think…).
