Apache is a computer game released by Digital Integration in 1995 for MS-DOS and Macintosh. The game is a combat flight simulator of the American AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter.

Gameplay

In Campaign mode, the player can choose which 3 areas to enter in a tour of duty. The Campaign mode also plays video clips and has a briefing before any mission. The player is given a choice of ordnance, and is able to zoom in on the mission map, giving them a satellite view of the area or target and meteorological data.

Reception

A reviewer for Next Generation called the game "a stunningly realistic simulation of one of the most complex military aircrafts [sic] of all time". He complimented the effectiveness of the polygon graphics, the selection of modes for network and modem play, the extreme realism of the flight simulation, and the balance and ingenuity of the scenario designs. He gave it five out of five stars.[1]

PC Gamer US named Apache the "Best Simulation" of 1995. The editors wrote, "With all of its difficulty and realism options cranked up to maximum, Apache can be played as a hard-core simulation of the world's best attack helicopter, [... and] novice air-combat pilots — or those who simply enjoy a good shoot-'em-up — can reduce the difficulty level until Apache plays like a fast-paced, no-holds-barred arcade-action game."[2]
