OK, I've gotten it confused with something else. The one I was talking about had a cockpit view through the front of a biplane, with the propeller spinning in front of your view. It was wireframe. I can't remember the name of it, so I thought it was the Sopwith Camel someone mentioned here. But it might have been another name, like Red Baron or Blue Max. (Someone mentioned Blue Max on this thread, so I'll get another correction if that isn't the one I'm thinking of.)

Yeah, the vector one is Red Baron.
Blue Max was from a Zaxxon type perspective.

Yeah, I played Blue Max on the C=64 too.

Mcollector, if it's an arcade game, you're probably thinking of Red Baron.

That looks like it. Thanks. I haven't seen any of them around in so long I was unsure of the names (except for rogue).

Ah yes, that was a great "game" indeed

Thread title calls for "...old games / abandonware." OS/2 Warp falls under the latter. I'm a bit disappointed no one else has any favorite non-game abandonware.

DR DOS...
(had much better memory management than MS DOS, it even allowed for taskswitching )

In the gaming realm, I forgot another one:
Fury of the Furries

Ah I got why you were posting it, I was just making a little fun at the experience of using and supporting it after IBM dumped it.

Oh, non games...uhm, WP51. Still favor it over the latest version of word.

Thenn there was Videoscape and Videoscape 2.0 (Amiga) and that raytracing progrma, uhm, something 4D that I never really got to grips with.

Povray?
(edit: oops, you meant on Amiga....)

Raytracing on the Amiga? Sounds like Reflection. Came with a book, still have it at home

[Umfriend]

Reflection it was not I think. This one actually did animation as well.

It's been ages, but as far as I can remember in Raflection you could have polygons with more than three corners (as in Videoscape), but the other program only accepted triangles.

It had "4D" in the name: 3D and animation making the forth D (as in time).
