Silent Thunder A-10 TK2 is easily in my top 5 most enjoyed and missed flight simulator games of the mid '90s. The graphics were a significant improvement over platform games of that era and even PC games like Descent ('95), MechWarrior 2 ('95) and SimCopter ('96). Computer hardware in that era was growing exponentially year to year, and game complexity and graphics followed suit. The controls were fairly responsive when using a Sidewinder 360 joystick. Being a child at that time, I had more fun exploring and maneuvering than I did completing missions, but it was all good. The controls must have been fairly simple because I don't remember having any trouble cruising around. You could choose the load-out of your armaments, though I don't remember the list being particularly robust. I also enjoyed the soundtrack, which contributed to the atmosphere of the gameplay. Some of the missions were challenging as you had to juggle several time-sensitive objectives with limited resources, but that was part of the fun. The missions never seemed to be overly long, though not as short and intense as some modern simulators. I really wish that everyone gets a chance to experience the simple joy and fun that games like this can evoke. Please bring this wonderful game back, GOG!
