Indulge yourself in 26 minutes of pure nostalgia! David Nunez has more flight simulation games than I have hair on my receding hairline.

Nunez starts by talking about old computers and an assortment of hardware and flight controllers.

Have you ever seen so many controllers in one place?

The flight sim discussion starts at around the 7th minute mark. Check out 16:00-17:00 for Nunez's coverage of Digital Integration's Tornado, and my comments on the video in the Youtube comments section.

...of games


Each gamebox he handles in the video contains a game manual done the proper way back in the 1990s. Game manuals back then were hardcopy, bound, thick, heavy, informative, and illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams.

They got you into the mood of the game even before playing the game. Like David says, "they suck you right into the game!". By the way, David Nunez has a PHD in Computer Science & Virtual Reality (VR). His company (https://www.facebook.com/rabbitengineering) makes and sells 3D printed retrogaming stuff. Simply brilliant.
