Tomahawk (1986) also from Digital Integration. AH-64 sim.
They both worked (or at least loaded) when I tried a year or so back. If I get the chance, I'll try them out again, and take some photos.
From the Fighter Pilot instruction leaflet:
No complex engine management in those days...  |
+1 Fighter pilot was the shit
Still have my old Spectrum and fired it up some year ago and played Fighter Pilot. I think it had about 4 fps in average but with those awesome graphics people understood. Not a single wining was heard in the reviews about that...
I remember persuading my dad spending $200 on the 32k upgrade from 16k to 48k on my spectrum to get games like this running
You get a bit more memory for that cash theese days
EDIT: And no it's not me doing that crappy landing way low for most of the final approach
Found it on youtube...
