Description of Birds of Prey
Pigeon mo willems game. That, as it turns out, is the least-useful application of that power. Prey is workable as a stealth game, but barebones enough that I generally opted to fight instead. You’d think the ability to. Birds of Prey - Air Combat in the Jet Age is the main game box for the Birds of Prey game system with a lavishly illustrated tutorial to guide you through learning the game solo and the concise rulebook is designed as a reference for rules questions only. Birds of Prey - Air Combat in the Jet Age is a revolutionary jet dogfighting game, simulating flight with unprecedented precision and engrossing play. The Birds of Prey flight mechanics allow freedom in three dimensions without requiring special maneuver rules. Type: Boxed Game. Product Line: Birds of Prey. Birds of Prey (1st Printing, Deluxe Edition) By: Ad Astra Games. Stock #: ADA31000-DX-09 Year: 2009. The Birds of Prey website is undergoing a major rebuild! The tool we use for building the website went end-of-life and while exploring new tools, the deployed website was overwritten. Birds of Prey continues in active development, including the release of Missile With A Man In It, monthly releases on the Airbattle Games Patreon and preparation. Birds of Prey: Fighter Sweep is a second new folio product covering what I would call fighter pilot's fighters. This folio is a collection of seventeen ADCs (plus four more in PDF form, when the product is registered) and four missiles, a new playaid with an ultra-fine sequence of play and an exciting set of scenarios (roughly twelve, including two sets of generic scenarios).
Birds of Prey is a fairly complex combat flight simulator by Argonaut Software, featuring a lot of different planes and missions. The Amiga version contained a breathtaking intro that is sadly completely missing in the PC version of the game. The PC conversion was done by Chris Sawyer of Transport Tycoon fame.
Here's a more in-depth look at the game from a review at Amiga Games Database: 'What [Birds of Prey] did involve was just about every jet the US and USSR had at the time, with C130 Hercules transports and the X rockets the US used to run supersonic tests on. Surprisingly, although perhaps not given their involvement with Armour Geddon, this was a Psygnosis effort.
Birds of Prey was definitely one for the aircraft fancier. You could pick a mission to suit and get into the cockpit of just about anything going, for either side. Handling was appropriate in pretty much all cases and the 3D engine suitably slick. You could mount attacks on ships, factories, and tank batallions. You could drop supplies from your Hercules, or strafe an area with the A-10's big gun. This was also the first Sim I'd encountered in which you could actually refuel in mid air.
Unfortunately there was a price to pay for having all these planes and the touches like mid-air refuels. And that price was the map. Or the lack of it. No Middle East scenarios, no European scenarios, just the one map, with the good guy side and the bad guy side, and that was it. So although you did have quite a few toys to play with, the sand box wasn't very big or varied. Which is a pity, because otherwise Birds of Prey was a very competent Sim. It just wasn't one I'd recommend to, for example, ThunderHawk fans who were used to evolving storylines and varied terrain types.'
Still a Top Dog, regardless :)

fun game, like a very early DCS world of sorts - though with an actual dynamic campaign. the mid-air refuelling is a great feature, as is the real flight mode and the AWACS like in game map

I had this game back in the day, and I can still remember trying out all the different aircraft available to you. It was a lot of fun, regardless of the less than stellar graphics.

Downloading because I used to have it. Graphics were below par but the sheer number of planes was nice.

This one had some really snazzy animated teaser ads that were floated around the BBS networks for about a year before it was released, promising that the game would provide real-time graphics of the same quality. The actual game's graphics were no better than Flight Sim 2 at the best, and about the only positive thing about it was that you could take any airplane then known and make it a fighter/bomber. Dogfighting with a 747 was even possible, and actually pretty fun. Provided you could ignore just how lame the graphics were.
