Should've included one flight sim, very popular genre back then.
Agree, and my most favorite flight sim in that year was Their Finest Hour by Lucasfilm Games. Not quite an obscure game, but still overshadowed by its successor, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. I still have to box somewhere. Wait, just found it.
Their Finest Hour; one of the finest DOS games of 1989.
In any case, a better year for flight sims, IMO, is 1991. It was the year when VGA graphics had become standard in flight sims. It was also the year of Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0, Falcon 3.0, and Gunship 2000. I really love Gunship 2000, by the way, not to mention its strategy guide is an enjoyable reading in its own right.

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
