Flight Simulator II
Michael Woodley on the graphics. Jet, which used the software developed for FSII. Links Buzz Hoffman reported: "SubLogic was purchased by Microsoft - it was owned 50% by Bruce Artwick and 50% by Stu Moment. Sublogic was the company that wrote the original Microsoft Flight Simulator (Microsoft basically had an exclusive license for it.) Last time I talked to Stu, he was enjoying himself flying his stunt plane - he's pretty darned good at it too. Raif "Bolter" Palmer remembers..."The game was released for the TRS-80 Model I Level II and ran with 16k from a tape drive. Black and white monitor. Huge chunky "graphics", basically a grid with VERY basic outlines of a runway and control tower, and 2-D "flat" mountains bordering a square grid of small size as "terrain." You could fly the "Sopwith Camel" and shoot using the spacebar and drop "bombs" on targets on the ground. The enemy planes were represented with asterisks and signs like < * > I think. VERY basic stuff, but all that existed then, and very cool for us then in 5th or 6th grade. The game was later also released for the Apple and early IBM PC I believe. " |
