Flight of the Intruder

It was a long time coming but it has finally happened. Falcon has been beaten! Mirrorsoft have come up a flight sim so excellent that you could mistake it for the real thing. That will never be a case but this is the closest you' re going to get to reality. The graphics are excellent and the update smooth and fast. Sound is also very realistic. Presentation is superb. Rowan Software have spent a great deal of care and attention in putting the product together. Congratulations to Mirrorsoft for a masterpiece.

Nach dem Mager-Programm "Tank" hat Spectrum Holobyte wieder einen Volltreffer gelandet. Massenweise Aufträge, Einstelloptionen im Überfluß, ein Missionseditor und ein Fluggefühl, das dem "F-16 Falcon" in nichts nachsteht, sorgen für monatelangen Flieger-Spaß.

Flying the game is complicated, and unless you're an old hand at combat flight sims, it will take considerable practice to avoid being shot down immediately. You have your choice of piloting an A-6 Intruder or F-4 Phantom II and you can also have up to seven friendly support planes with you (and you'll need them). There are 13 preset missions and you can also make up your own. The only lack I see in the game is that you can't take the Vietnamese side. Incidentally, FOTI runs fine under 2.0, and there's a menu item supporting ICD's AdSpeed accelerator to speed up the graphics, a considerate touch I'd like to see more often.
