Well I was at the mall today. Got curious and went to an electronics store to looks at some PC games. Went way in the back of the store, looking at some bargain games for the hell of it. What do I find? Eurofighter Typhoon for $1.99 USD!!!! I'm NOT KIDDING! $1.99 USD. I almost cryed out in joy! Well I bought it lol, even the guy at the register said "YOU GOT A GOOD DEAL!" Well I opened the box... It even had the origional manual and key layout card inside. Been playing it all night and I must say even though it is a tad bit old, ITS AWESOME! This will EASILY hold over my urges to shoot down some fast-movers until LO-MAC!

who was the distributor?.... & more to the point - is it as good as the DSB version? (I know what I would bet..) & if not ..... what's the point?

I guarrantee you if we had great aircraft here for download at $1.99 my ears would be ringing with complaints ...

It's a funny old world - full of people who don't think things through .. (not you..) But you know what I mean ... people are so influenced by 'package' .. & the 'package' in this case starts with the location ..

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

i think he means he bought the actual eurofighter game right?
if so you got a great deal on it i have seen it here for about $14(£10) looks like a pretty good game to, and as one test pilot for the typhoon said it gives the general public a very good idea of the planes weapons systems and a general idea of what the plane is like.

Its Eurofighter the game, shooting missles at MiG-27's and cruise missles etc etc. I love, even though it was released back in 2001.

Well its extremely fast paced when you get into. Its just one LONG dynamic campaign. I find a good, nice aircraft modeling and weapons.

A little of topic but there's a rumor going around that a Russian company was selling high tech jet fighters for $100,000 US. This was due to the fact that Russia had no interest in the fighter and they were just trying to get rid of them.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink
