Does anyone remember this? I just did the other day, and was reminded of all the great fun I had with it. You can even download it for free nowadays!

It's my understanding it's shareware now. This is such a fun little game.

I always liked to try to make a great custom level, but then it was too simple. Tongue

The first flightsim I played was Night Gunner on my neighbour's ZX81!

We got our first 48k Spectrum in approx 1983, and played Jetpac. We never owned an interface 1, we killed off a number of "Kempston Compatible" joysticks, and we loved our Sinclair Microdrive, because it loaded Elite in a matter of seconds. We cheated with our multiface and we laughed at our VoxBox.

When the "B" key died (through playing Ghostbusters too much) we bought the Spectrum+ upgrade kit, but we kept our beloved rubber keyboard for sentimental value Grin

We eventually bought a QL, played on an early flightsim, and got a modem. We spent many happy hours on Bulletin Boards like "The Gnome at Home" and "Westworld", until the phonebill arrived Embarrassed

We finally moved onto an Atari ST......but there was nothing quite like the Speccy
