If this is a flight simulation I am green with yellow stripes (I'm not!). The Dragon can do, and has done, much better stuff than this. The best thing about the game is the opening title page, and even then they played Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines wrong!

Low resolution graphics, bad use of colour and unrealistic sound. The screen did not look at all like a plane cockpit... no dials, all the same presentation.

I would now like to say "on the plus side", but there isn't a plus side. I suppose the instructions were clear(ish) but they weren't relevant to the game!

Psion's flight simulation for the ZX81 is much better than this; it has higher resolution graphics, is more responsive and more realistic.
