The Finally Fixed It!
Updated Review, June, 2024: So, Atari launched this in an absolutely abhorrent state. Clearly ripped abandonware, not even fully functional. It was just a mess. However, to their credit, the folks at Atari heard our cries of foul and endeavored to fix these two games: Gunship - Less crash-prone (It used to crash after the third mission, but others have now reported getting well past that). I've only gotten a few missions in before dying -- this game is TOUGH -- but had no crashes. This one still has copy protection, but they now include a reference sheet to get past it. Gunship 2000 - Now the final CD-ROM version with no copy protection. Also includes the expansion, and all the documentation, including both manuals (original and expansion), and now has proper DOSBox settings. Gunship 2000 is my favorite flight sim ever, and now it's at a state in which I can recommend it to people. It's also very playable with a gamepad! So yeah, I feel now I can recommend this pack. If you can get over the old graphics, I feel Gunship 2000 has so, so much to offer for the flight sim fan. It's my favorite helicopter sim and flight sim of all time because of its sheer variety. Please check it out, and thank you for reading. ----------------------------------------- Original Review, February, 2024: Gunship 2000 is my favorite flight sim ever. It has everything and I love it so much, so it PAINS me to give this version a one-star review, but I must. The GOG version of this game is 469.07, which is an older version of the game whick still has issues with digital sound and numerous crashes. The CD version of the game -- which is the last version I believe -- is 496.085. This is the version I have and play regularly. So again, it looks like the folks at the publisher here ripped an older, abandonware version that isn't even the final, stable CD-ROM version. The game also doesn't include all the documentation, such as the copy protection codes and documentation for the expansion. Do not buy this version at this time. Seek out the CD version if possible.
