Was one of my firsts
PC games, like Blue Max, were difficult to play for a couple different reasons: 1.) you had to be lucky enough to have a system that could even play these crazy 3.5" software disks that were all the rage since 5.25" were becoming less popular, 2.) You had to have the hardware to run these games as there were many times something within your system didn't meet the criteria, so you couldn't play and 3.) you had to be in a location that even had a computer store that sold games to make the purchase. IF you were fortunate enough you might even have had a friend whose parents bought them all the games, which meant that purchasing $10 bucks worth of blank disks would score you at least a couple hundred dollars worth of games as there was no security measures in place for copying games. IT was pretty great. Blue Max just happened to be one of the first games that came in via the free pipeline (took 3 disks for the entire game) and it never disappointed to be enjoyable. There were some cool enough variations between the planes, and missisions to perform, so there was always hours of gameplay. I still have the game somewhere on the 3.5" disks and this made my day knowing I wouldn't need to spend hours trying to get the old game to work and instead just download this version and let the memories come pooring back in.
