100/100 Info (Sep, 1984)
"Wild Bill" Stealey and Microprose software have created a captivating game experience: flying a fighter bomber. Not as finicky and crash prone as some flight programs centered around taking off and landing, this plane is considered returned to base if you just come close. The real action and pleasure of this game is combat flying, bombing, and dog fighting. You will fill in with imagination what the landscape lacks in detail because the heads up display is state of the art, the Cockpit is detailed, and the action is convincing. (four skill levels).
