My favorite,although not a game, was Flight Simulator,now acquired by our computer god Mr.Microsoft.It is still the same program today using many of the original airfields.vor's and ndb's.Amazing what could be done with 39k of free ram.I was a bit upmarket with an external disk drive that held about 180K.The earlier tape machine would take 10 mins.or more to load a program but the drive would do it in maybe 1 min.I did some animations and titles for video editing as the machine had a Pal tv output as S video(ie. luminance and chrominance separated) and my video machine was S.The titles were written in Basic,but I am afraid that I have not progressed beyond that.
