So, any of you old-school #gameing types recall a combat flight sim called Corncob 3D? Was a weird one, with flat poly graphics, and a strange alternate universe plot where WWII never happened, and instead aliens attacked.
@sanspoint Yep. I never played it, but I think @CarlCravens did.
@sanspoint Yes! Main thing I remember is being able to do something with a scarecrow to make the sun smile at you :)
@sanspoint Vaguely, aye. As others have mentioned, it was p. common to find on the shareware scene.
@TMWReviews Yeah, I probably had it on one of those crazy shareware CDs with a million crappy games, and two or three good ones.
@sanspoint Oh, yeah... I'd have never remembered the name of it, but I occasionally have this vague memory of playing it. It made an impression.
@sanspoint @sanspoint yes, it was common in crappy (imo, i was spoiled by game consoles, hehe) shareware kiosks
i could never get anywhere but i was surprised to hear how strange it got (storywise) when reading about it recently:
