    F15 III dissapointed me right out of the box, F15II had and still occasionally is a fun low realisim shooters but II just never was much fun..
    The graphics were in between low fi and later hifi graphics and it just felt ackward, it just tried to hard to be realistic but the graphics didn't support realism.
    F16 Falcon 3.0 was the benchmark at the time, graphics there were less fancy, but gameplay felt real
    Strike commander a bit later was slightly better graphics, that by now aged horribly.. but then at the time with its less realistic sim , it just worked way better than F15 III

    In short, f15III was a bit of a turd.

    Having played personal computer games for more than 40 years, I still feel that this is one of, if not, the best sim I have ever played.

    I was one of the primary testers at MPS that play tested the software (also was the one that created and then forgot to replace the "blah blah blah" readme file that was on the platinum) with the real readme file when first version mastered and released.

    We had just finished the very last bug around 7:05 am and I packed up and got on a plane and flew to the manufacturer.

    None of us happened to notice until a customer called in with a question asking where was the real readme file. Vaughn Thomas was the lead tester, but most people were amused more than angry.

    Star Flight and DarkLands are up there too. You never heard of DarkLands? I think it was the very first game where NO ONE would put there credits in the game wrapper. They were in the manual though.

    We had a lot of fun. Rarely did we actually get to "play" the games. The "games" were broken when we got them. And we got paid and in fact did earn about 50,000 a year doing this. But we also worked an average 76 hours work week that always included weekends and holidays.
    Most testers including myself were in our 30's and up.
