Play Apache Online
Struggling with the helicopter controls is half the fun—you’ll sweat through takeoffs before diving into desert dogfights where one wrong move gets you shredded by anti-aircraft fire.
Game Overview
Apache (1995) drops you straight into the cockpit of an AH-64, and man, does it nail that "oh crap, I'm actually flying this thing" feeling at first. The controls are detailed enough to feel real—you’ll be wrestling with collective pitch and cyclic controls—but there’s an arcade mode if you just want to blow stuff up without a manual. The training missions are a lifesaver, though. I remember crashing into a mountain five times before realizing I had to actually adjust the trim.
Four different warzones keep things interesting, from desert runs where Russian tanks look like ants until they start shooting back, to chaotic dogfights with MiGs that’ll have you spinning in circles. The anti-aircraft fire is brutal if you get cocky, and the game doesn’t hold your hand—you’ll learn real quick that hovering in one place is a death wish. It’s got that perfect ‘90s sim vibe: just enough realism to feel authentic, but not so much that it stops being fun. If you ever wanted to pretend you’re in Firebirds but with slightly better graphics, this is your game.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
