''WarBirds'' is a series of massively multiplayer online and offline World War II combat flight simulation video games originally developed by Interactive Creations of Grapevine and published by iEntertainment Network in 1995. The game includes an air combat flight simulator as well as a simulator for tanks and other ground vehicles and inspired a fan cult and conventions, and a book titled ''WarBirds: The Story So Far''. Following 1999's ''WarBirds II'', ''WarBirds III'' was released for Mac and PC in 2002. ''WarBirds III'' was a runner-up for ''GameSpot''s annual "Best Simulation on PC" award, which went to '' Flanker 2.5''. ''WarBirds: The Mighty Eight'' was released in 2007. A more recent version, ''WarBirds 2008'', includes tanks, trucks, halftracks, new aircraft, and new graphics. In 1999, some of the original development team, including John "Killer" MacQueen, Rodney "Hatch" Hodge, and Chris "Mo" Sherland, went on to form Cornered Rat Software where they developed ''WWII Online''. Others followed Dale "HiTech" Addink to form HiTech Creations and develop ''Aces High''.
