Our story begins in 1938, since Adolf Hitler died from an accident in his youth, there were no threats of WWII any soon. Even though it looked like those peaceful times were endless, everything changed when aliens attacked earth and the destruction of our planet began. 11 years later humankind saw the chance for an uprising, since many pilots unleashed an attack on the outsiders directly from the sky using F4U Corsair fighter aircrafts.

Since Corncob 3D is one of the first flight simulators shareware that ever existed, this game is a treasure for gaming history. Back in the days when the internet wasn’t a thing yet there were not many ways to communicate using computers, but we had Bulletin Board Systems that use telephonic lines, in which you could login and download awesome things like this game.

If you judge Corncob 3D based on its appearance, you’ll be making the worst mistake of your gaming life, since this game is one of the first titles that introduce 3D gaming in the world. The controls are impressive, as they’re so realistic; you even have the chance to bail out of your plane with a parachute and try to reach your base before being caught by the aliens.

Although the game is pretty complex and brings many options for its players, the lack of textures and the confusing graphics made this game a frustrating title. Even though the simulation part is tougher when you can’t sense some depth in what you’re seeing, after a few rounds of practice you’ll actually discover and will enjoy all the options available for the player.

Corncob 3D is a real challenge even for all the hardcore gamers out there who dare to claim that they know all about videogames, so go ahead and give it a shot at saving the world.
