November 2019 video by Hermit In The Forest



What makes this Limited Edition special is it combines the original simulator with the Operation Desert Storm addon. It also comes with a CD-ROM containing Tornado-inspired music, composed by David Punshon. The colourful games catalogue circa 1993 is a nice touch. This is the type of video that makes you long for the good old days when game manuals were so heavy, being chock-full of printed contents, maps and paraphernalia, that you needed two hands to lift it up comfortably.

"This whole book .. I cannot imagine someone to read it whole, really, ... but maybe some people were that crazy do it." (6:41)

Yes, most "flight sim crazy" people who bought it back in the 1990s devoured the manual. Especially a certain Andrew McPherson who read the manual cover to cover in hospital while recovering from a car accident. Judging from the title of this ancient Google Groups post, I am sure that he was a Pink Floyd fan.

I do have one concern of unboxing classic game boxes in the middle of a forest. Pine cones, forest floor debris and CDs don't mix well. But if one is careful then I suppose I am worrying for nothing. ;-)
