Myrddin Flight Simulator

This simulator is different to others in that the aim of flying isn't to shoot things down but to scout the landscape in search of some three dimensional geometric shapes in different colours.

The display is split into two halves, the top one showing the cockpit view in all yellow and the bottom one your instrumentation. You are flying a Dingbat, which can be one of sixteen skill levels, on a large mapped area (a chart is provided with the game).

Good News

P. 3D vector graphic shapes in several colours.
P. Reverse flying option allowing you to turn 180 degrees instantly.

Bad News

N. Screen update is slow.
N. Once you've sussed landing and seen the objects it may pall.
N. The price.
