Digital Image Design were a UK software house at the forefront of flight sims in the 1990’s, and spun off their engines in some pretty creative ways.
This is a supersonic flight through their history in their games, most of which hold a special place in my collection.

Lesson to be learned: As soon as a large corporation hoovers up a studio that created great games, stop buying their stuff. They try to milk the name and dump it as soon as the husk is dry.

EF2000… F-22ADF… TFX…
I don't know. It seems to me that whenever a company acquires another company, the end result is rarely desirable. :-
EF2000 deserves a re-make. There are so many geographic errors in the game.
great video. tfx was my no. 1 simulator when i was a kid, then total air war in my late teens… amazing games. other favourites were chuck yeager's air combat, novalogic's commanche 3, f14 fleet defender, ka50 hokum.
Awesome video as always. I have great memories with these games.
Put about 1000 hours into EF2000. The Best dynamic campaign of any flight sim, in my opinion!
I remember play some of this games on my 486DX4 100mhz with 16mb of RAM and a Blasting Trident 9680 with 2mb of VRAM! It's amazing… See and play some of the first 3D games, like Need For Speed, know the CD-ROM newest technology at this time, internet with my 28k modem! We're living a dream era of tech! But I allways have a good memories about old tech! Nostalgic!
Tornado is still hands down one of the best simulators ever. No other sim really gets the torndado right.
Robocop 3 was a revelation on Amiga. They did some great work.
6:42 this would be considered stylised in 2020
I loved EF2000. I was working in VR development at the time with Superscape. The VR headsets we used could interface into EF2000 which was amazing (unfortunately the headsets then despite staggering cost did. It gave the resolution to really legibly display the HUD… Huge fun though!
This makes me want a new Comanche game…
I still have F-22 Raptor and F-22 Lightning 3 from Novalogic in their original box here. I can't believe these are more than 20 years old already!
Those old sims actually supported a VR peripheral that was available at that time.
Was playing the first part of the video on a expanded Amiga 1200 at the time up too TFX at least.
I loved Epic but id forgot about Inferno! I actually bought and owned all these game back in the day, I remember hating Eurofighter Typhoon.
What happened to DID..? I came to this YT vid because I wanted to install my 16 bit F22 Total Air War…but failed on my 64 bit computer…WTF !? The best sim to this day.. 8 sept 2019…20 years later!! I think buying an old PC just dedicated to this game.. I salute you too DID
Wargasm was an awesome game.
DID Flight simulators and Novalogic were my introduction to gaming. I'll never forget where it started
God I used to love EF2000
Thanks for this video ! Bring me lot of nice memories !
Ehm, sorry to be the guy but TFX did not have SVGA mode yet 🙂 That's good old 320×200. EF2000 was their first one with svga. This is because at the time SVGA was so slow that could only be used for a specific kind of games (some adventure games, some strategic ones) that did not need scroll or animations, but I guess you know that, just talking to the audience
I had ALL of their flight simulators., they were the best ever
I play Wargasm and have a problem with the M key and the map. Sometimes the map will not work and you can't find your targets. Have you ever run into that?
eurofighter typhoon was an ultimate crap… If I didn't know DID was doing it I would never guess it actually did as some stupid rage studio… Complete waste of potential.. The same with NovaLogic.
TAW and Eurofighter dynamic campaigns…there are no such anymore
I had (and still have) F22 ADF when I was a kid. The game obviously went far above my ten-year-old head, but it fascinated me nevertheless. Sadly, it requires a lot of work to get it running on a newer computer these days. At least for me it had a lot of issues, starting from getting the game installed (which can be solved by using a 32 bit InstallShield version), and then getting the game to run for more than 10 seconds at a time.
