This was my second ever flightsim (after F-19) and the sheer scope of planes and weapons available, the mission editor, the intro movies, made this game near and dear to my heart. I still remember practicing carrier landings, learning air combat maneuvers, and days and days of pouring over the thick detailed manual to learn systems and air combat strategies. From the venerable F-4 to the cutting edge X-31, this game was stuffed with content. I started playing this when I was in the single digits age wise, I loved aviation but this game let me actually play with all the planes I had read about in books and seen at airshows. Over 30 years later, I still credit this game as starting me down the path to my career in aviation, allowing me to take my first steps into the wild blue yonder.
Advertised as "The Mother of all Flight Sims" on the back of the box is not far fetched with this one. It combined all the expansions and spin offs of US Navy Fighters released back in 1994 for DOS (Marine Fighters, Jane's ATF, NATO Fighters, Jane's USNF'97). The graphics at the time of release back in 1997 maybe felt a bit antiquainted, as many flight sims already used 3dfx accelerated graphics, but the gameplay was still a blast (btw that last screenshot with F-22 over the desert is from Jane's USAF and not FA). And the amount of content is just mindblowing, with 6 campaigns, hundreds of single missions and over 100 aircraft to fly. It also has a mission builder and still active modding scene. A true classic in need of preservation for sure!

MechWarrior 2: 31st Century CombatYou are the genetically engineered Clan Mechwarrior. The Clans are invading the Inner Sphere. Join either the Wolf Clan or the Jade Falcon Clan as they pursue their own agenda against the Inner Sphere and other Clans. Take your advanced Omnimechs into battle against all comers. Win high warrior ratings (by using less mechs or smaller mechs than needed, completing secondary objectives, etc.) and you'll get chance at a promotion trial where you face superior odds in an arena. If you win, you advance in rank. If you are very successfully, you can make it all the way up to Khan, leader of the Clan!
Mechwarrior II was developed in-house by Activision as the successor to their original Mechwarrior. While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. You can customize your mechs in order to use less than the "par" force in order to get a higher rating. The full 3D environment wasn't pretty as this was before the 3D accelerators made their debut, but it's still better than anything that came before. Let addition of NetMech allowed users to fight each other online. When 3D cards came along, special versions were created to take advantage of 3D texturing. While not QUITE as replayable as Mechwarrior, it's nonetheless a classic.
If you want them now, get the Titanium Edition, which is 3D accelerated.Action Science fiction
