Author's Description: Flight was developed with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and the free Allegro game library (http://www.allegro.cc). It is a hobbyist game which has been in development off-and-on since 1999 (the first version was written for DOS). Flight was somewhat inspired by "Wings of Fury" for the Apple IIe, but most of the features sprang from "Hey, it would be cool if..." The graphics formerly consisted of ugly sprites and backgrounds drawn in MS Paint, but were eventually replaced with more realistic images taken from photographs and renders.

  • 4Sorry, but this one won't stay on my hard drive. The good: The concept is nice and it might be possible to create an addictive game from it if it's further developed. The bad: As it is, I found it no fun. Both controls and enemy AI needs work. Suggestions: Maybe you should use helicopters instead of airplaines, considering how they move? I'd also like some more advanced controls - momentum would most likely be a good thing, for example.
