I am so glad to see HOTP back! I played it endlessly when it first hit the Apple platform and loved it! THANKS! Got "killed" many times but finally worked my way up to staying alive for the entire range of missions. Loved to get those flattops ands big gunned babies!

Thanks for all the stuff inside. The good part of this game was to fit on one floppy disk only ! This is awesome !

This is the first game I ever remember seeing / playing. My dad had it on his Mac. Does anyone know how I can play the downloaded version of the game on Windows?

with the latest Macs being essentially RISC again, how can we relive thissssss
Does anyone know if or how I can acquire the Leyte Gulf expansion? I want the mission with the P-38 (Lightning?), mission with the Corsair (Duel 2?), and Ki-84 Frank enemy aircraft.

Did anyone else discover the mysterious Easter eggs way off at the edge of the world using slew mode? They had placed all sorts of weird items out in the ocean for testing game parameters. Like floating runways. Trees growing in the water. Etc. I met one of the developers many years ago at a Macworld show. And asked him what all that weirdness was about. He was stunned that I discovered his playground. I still have both Hellcats and Leyte Gulf discs, manuals etc. but wish I could get them to run on my current MacBook Pro.

How I loved this game! My dad had been a navy pilot in WW2, and he would help me out with different maneuvers. The Hellcat (and the Zero) would perform exactly like he said they would. The programmer did an excellent and accurate job with flight characteristics! I wish it was available for today's Macs.

Running Mac OS Sierra and when I try to boot up Hellcats, I get a message saying that the Mac no longer supports the Classic environment. Any way around this?

When I click download, I get a zip folder that has no files in it. Am I doing something wrong?

"Let me play, let me play" cried my youngest brother, wanting his rotation between me (eldest) and the middle-fella. "OK, here ya go, Ru", says I, putting the mouse beneath his little hand. ... 1 minute passes ... "Point the nose down, Ru, down, atta boy." ... "OK, my turn now, " says I.
