Red Baron is a series of renowned combat flight simulators created by Dynamix (also known for Starsiege: Tribes) and originally published by Sierra Entertainment. The games in the series are: Red Baron (1990): The original, released for Amiga, DOS, and MacOS. Recognized by Computer Gaming World as the Top Simulation of 1991, and later as one of the best games of all time. Red Baron II/3-D (1997 / 1998): Red Baron II was an updated and expanded version that added new aircraft, new features, and a new "dynamic campaign" mode that tracked the activity of every squadron on the front and not merely the player's. As initially released, the game was quite buggy; a later patch fixed most of the bugs, added 3D glide acceleration support to the graphics engine, and an online multiplayer mode that could in theory support up to 128 flyers per mission. The patched version of II was itself rereleased as a stand-alone product, Red Baron 3-D.In each game, the player gets the opportunity to fly and fight against a broad selection of aircraft in the skies above the trenches of World War I's Western Front. The player can choose to fly for either the Allies or the Central Powers (the original featured only the Royal Flying Corps and the German Fliegertruppen / Luftstreitkräfte, though the former also flew a lot of French designs; II/3-D added the French Aéronautique Militaire and the United States Army Air Service to the Allied side) in a variety of missions, including squadron dogfights, balloon busting or defense, and patrolling and escort missions. You can even choose to test your mettle against some of the air war's most famous aces in one-on-one dogfights.There are two primary gameplay modes: Single Mission and Campaign. The former is pretty much self-explanatory; you fly a single mission with a predetermined objective according to your own personal settings, or a "historical mission" that tries to model the conditions of a certain ace's more notable accomplishments. In the latter, you enlist in one of the aforementioned services anywhere between late 1915 and late 1918 and fly missions with your assigned squadron. A successful career brings with it awards, promotions, and the chance to customize your aircraft; less-than-adequate performance usually leaves you dead at the hands of your hated foe.Given the fact that the game is set during World War One, a lot of "staple mechanics" of the combat flight sim are left out in favor of increased historical accuracy. Gone are minimaps, sensors, and autotarget features; instead, you have to rely on your wits, your knowledge of the local terrain, and the maneuverability of your craft to navigate and fight.The 16-color version of the original Red Baron was released for free as part of a promotion for its sequel and is still available. 3-D is now being published commercially by Mad Otter Games, who are working on yet another Updated Re-release for more modern computers; more information on how to acquire a copy can be found on the official site.Not to be confused with the 1980 Atari vector graphics arcade game, or with the film The Red Baron. | |

| Red Baron (Video Game) / int_1eed1d03 | comment |
Anti-Air: Pretty primitive by modern standards, given that proximity-fused shells did not yet exist. Still, not something to be underestimated in large groups such as those found around observation balloons. Ground-based machine gun nests can also be just as dangerous as their aerial counterparts if you give them a clear shot at you. | |

Instant Death Bullet: Averted. You can be killed instantly by a lucky burst of machine gun fire, but getting wounded often means that you have a limited amount of time to land your plane before you bleed out. Even then, it can take months of recovery in the field hospital before you're ready to fly (if you survive and aren't invalided out). | |

Alternate History: Notable because virtually every campaign career's its' own self-contained history, with things diverging from the start with and without the player's intervention.

Every Bullet is a Tracer | |
| Red Baron (Video Game) / int_fda454ec | comment |
Every Bullet is a Tracer: All bullets look like small fireballs. However, the game does make the distinction between normal and tracer ammunition - the former is more effective against planes, while the latter is effective against balloons and zeppelins. | |

Shown Their Work: And how. The game designers did their research, and it shows. The games' physics engines are quite realistic, even going so far as to model certain odd quirks associated with particular designs, such as the gyroscopic effects of the Sopwith Camel's rotary engines and the Albatros D. III's tendency to lose its lower wing during high-gee maneuvers. Plane designs are introduced and phased out as they were historically, and each squadron has access to the type of planes that it flew historically. Additionally, the creators included a great deal of historical background information. Some of this was merely informative (such as the complete history of the War in the Air), but much of it had practical value within the game itself (such as the descriptions of common maneuvers and combat tactics, which are actually used by AI pilots and can be emulated by the player). | |
