Developer’s Description

By Small Rockets

Take to the skies in a dogfighting extravaganza.

Get behind the controls of a World Word I fighter plane and take to the skies in Fiendish Games' dogfighting extravaganza, Hunt for the Red Baron. Travel to the green fields of France, the hot sands of Africa, and the desolate setting of a war-torn Belgium as you take part in 25 unique, action-packed missions.

Use your machine guns, rockets, and bombs to eliminate enemy fighters and take out key ground targets. Fly four different fighter planes, each with its own feel and handling that's based on the actual planes themselves (see screen shots).

Thirteen years later-- it is still fun.

Pros
Exploring the different battlegrounds can be as much fun as accomplishing the missions. Likewise, you fly in different aircraft for various missions-- sometimes severely outmatched and sometimes you have the edge (except for the Red Baron-- who is brutal). Your opponents have varying AI skill levels, and this adds to game play and options for replay. For example, can you defend your wing-man and still complete the mission or must you write him off? Should you take out the antiaircraft, or just come in low and fast? The best solution to completing a mission will depend upon your skills. Slaloming through the viaduct was not only good flying practice but a good way to weed out your lessor opponents who lacked the skill to follow. If I recall, once you complete the final, insanely difficult, mission, you can play using unlimited ammo and bullet-proof which made it fun for my, then, elementary school age son as well.
Cons
The demo version is but a small taste of what lies within. You'll want to dig out an old joystick for the most precise flying as the mouse play is much harder to control.
Summary
I bought the license to unlock the full version of the game back in 2000 and just ran across it in an archive, so installed and played on my more modern machine I am glad I did-- it is still fun. The scenery, the music, and the game play are all excellent.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

This game, has but one flaw, which is excusable, and that it is the licence imposed upon the technology. Radar hadn't been invented, there were no rockets in WWI and the bomber-payloads are excessive (if WWI planes were bombers it'd be a man sitting in the back physically dropping the one or two that it could carry)! Although this is a bit suss, the game is far better for it. The one thing that makes this game great though is the fact that you are as vulnerable as your opponents. This game is absolute gold and with only those technological flaws, it's still far more realistic than other flight sims!
A NONSENSE GAME UNWORTHY OF BEIG DISPLAYED ON THE NET
