''Falcon 4.0'' is a combat flight simulator video game released on December 12, 1998 by MicroProse. The game is based around a realistic simulation of the Block 50/52 F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighter in a full-scale modern war set in the Korean Peninsula. Among many notable features, ''Falcon 4.0s dynamic campaign engine runs autonomously. The game is the ultimate development in the ''Falcon'' series from Spectrum HoloByte that started in 1984. HoloByte had acquired MicroProse in 1993, and started using that name for all their titles in 1996. After MicroProse was purchased by Hasbro, official development ended. In April 2000 a source code leak allowed continued development of the game, including bug fixes and new campaigns, through the game community itself. Many of these additions were collected by Lead Pursuit, who arranged an official license of the original code base from the owner Atari, and published as ''Falcon 4.0: Allied Force'' on June 28, 2005.〔 The Falcon 4.0 series is one of the longest running game series using the same code base in PC history spanning well over a decade.〔 Falcon 4.0 is also notable for being on of the seldom and earliest known example of a user community taking over a game, enhancing it, maintaining code configuration, and having it re-released as a commercial product several years after the original publication.〔 ==Plot== The game's war starts in the early 1990s with North Korean forces invading the Southern Republic of Korea. The United States deploys extensive support to the South, including military aircraft, armored forces and naval vessels. The rest of the game's war plays out depending on the player's actions, potentially involving China and Russia. Japan has an airbase, but plays no role in the conflict itself. Due to the game's story which involves war in the Korean Peninsula, the game was banned in Republic of Korea until 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Falcon 4.0」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
