Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator - WWII Europe Series

Released: August 22nd, 2019 on ObscureGamers.com

Development prototype builds found a Katana development kit from the
Honolulu office of Konami Computer Entertainment America.

The system was, by all appearences, untouched since it left KCEA offices,
so all the builds were still intact.  Included are two somewhat playable
builds of the game, and several little tech demos that may or may not
work.  :)  I'm just including them since they were on the devkit.

This release includes every compiled build found on the drive, as well as
a complete image of the drive itself for those that might want to have or
experiment with the original files, and as a 'just in case' backup of
everything.

Huge thanks to SiZiOUS on the ObscureGamers.com forums for helping me get
these converted into the GDI format so we can run them on DeMul!

The game itself is Windows CE based, so DeMul is required for emulation.
Files included:

Microsoft_Combat_Flight_Simulator_-_WWII_Europe_Series_(1999-11-05_prototype)
[Technical demo]

Microsoft_Combat_Flight_Simulator_-_WWII_Europe_Series_(2000-08-08_prototype_Original)
[Earliest functional build, this version does not load but is exactly as it was
found on the devkit hard drive. The .Zip file also contains a small patch tool to
modifiy the files so they will run.  I've also included a patched version so you don't
have to do this...]

[This version is patched to load on DeMul.]

Microsoft_Combat_Flight_Simulator_-_WWII_Europe_Series_(2000-09-27_prototype)
[This is the latest build found on the devkit.  A little more 'playable' than the
Aug 8th build, but these are still in prototype states so don't expect a full game
or anything. :) ]
