Review:

An absolute classic of the time! The graphics may look distinctly simple nowadays and the enemy fighter might look like a crudely drawn Vulcan bomber but it was far more advanced than any of the other simulators of the time.

Finding and shooting down the enemy aircraft was a challenging and enjoyable experience but landing was something else. Carrying out this manoeuvre is a tricky task in most flight sims, even nowadays, but in this game it was incredibly difficult. I managed it once, which was once more than anyone else I knew at the time. A wonderful game for nostalgia fans that will leave everyone else wondering how we could have ever played such rubbish!
