This game (I had to review it here) must go down as one of the worst games ever.

My mate used to rave about this on his Amstrad. It was crap on that machine too.

Did anyone else ever get subjected to this back in the day?

    Good review - psst, it's Hasselhoff. The other two lowest scores I recall were for Voyage to the Unknown and that Elephant software monstrosity.

    I got it on the Computer Hits compilation for the CPC and played it precisely once. It seems like an almost textbook example of how not to write a flight simulator; all the right concepts are in there, but it's nothing even remotely like controlling a plane.

    I guess it does look quite nice in the screenshots with the runway, mountains, etc. It's only when you play it that you find out that barely anything moves and you can't even bank the plane.

    'enjoy' should be written in sarcasm tags :) I think that got 2% in Crash. (edit: 3% actually.
