Back then, it was a masterpiece. But not, it doesn't run well.
Now running at the correct speed with the Microprose launcher!
thank you new launcher is gold !
Spectrum Holobyte <3
Well, its to fast, iam sure aswell there are sounds missing!...no Manual no Reference Card...Dont buy this Game. Its Outdated not because its old. Its outdated cause the Devs Rere REreleased this game in a bad shape.
Needs a proper remake.
An iconic, classic flight sim.
Steam version. Unplayable. Too fast and no command list.
Easy enough for the publisher to fix though...
--/o\-- SPEED --/o\--
It needs to run at the correct speed.
The DOSBOX clock is set at 3000hz, which may look right on paper, but the sim runs at a fantastically unplayable tempo.
I get it, they calculated that about 40fps would be nice... but the sim was designed to run at somewhere between 2-5 fps, from memory (hey, it was 30 years ago!)
--/o\-- MANUAL --/o\--
Manuals and key commands need to be included (they are not). Falcon has about 50 commands, so, good luck at guessing those!

And the price... $9.95? I bought MiG-29 Fulcrum, a sophisticated 3DFX 1998 sim, at Steam for $3.95. IMO $1.95, an impulse buy price would be right for this release.

You can get it as part of Buy Falcon Collection: Includes 4 items: Falcon, Falcon 4.0, Falcon A.T., Falcon Gold for $AUD $14.95
I see this title is on sale, so I thought I'd update my review.
The description does not make it clear that the game runs in DOSBox. Hell, it recommends Win 10 and a 1.8 GHz CPU. This is the original game and does not need that much power.
I don't have a working flight stick at the moment, and was hoping the game would run with the Steam Controller. I messed around for a bit, but didn't get it working satisfactorily.
You may have some luck with Steam Controller with the following instructions. Thanks kalirion.
Steam Controller for DOSBox: https://steamcommunity.com/app/353370/discussions/0/490123197951615840/
Can be mapped as keyboard+mouse.
I have DOSBox, and run plenty of old software with it. For this game, the Amiga version was vastly superior. If I going to have to mess around with an emulator, I'll go for Amiga. On Steam, I was looking for a quick and easy way to replay a game from my youth, without having to put a lot of effort into getting it running. So, for that reason, I don't recommend this title on Steam.
If you haven't played Falcon and/or don't mind messing around with DOSBox through Steam, by all means, get this game. It was a defining title in the flight sim genre.
Original review below.
I played the Amiga version when it was new. I was interested to see Falcon titles available on Steam. I purchased on Steam so that I could use my Steam Controller. However, the game actually launches and runs in DOSBox. The Steam Controller stick is not recognized as a joystick and cannot be used. I tried remapping the stick to the arrow keys, but the game is unplayable with keyboard input due to key ghosting - you can't bank and pull up at the same time.
Nostalgia value, yes, however, not worth it to me, if it's run through DOSBox with no controller support.
